  Where is my account balance? Am I missing something?

  I am a little deprived of sleep right now, but where is my account balance?
  
  As far as I can tell, there is no way to figure out how much money I have left in my account before my credit card gets charged again.
  
  Speaking of that, how do I go about turning that off. I want to add money to my account and not have it auto-add money.
  
  I checked the billing tab and found a report telling my how much I spent... but nothing telling me how much I had left. Am I imagining this?

   Hi adoffcenter,

  You can find your ballance by visiting the Accounts & Billing tab once signed in to your account. You can also view your statements on the Billing tab, just set your date range and click Go.

  With adCenter, you do not add money to your account, you create a budget instead. When you created your first campaign, you were asked to set a monthly budget. Also, at the top you can see Budget Spent this Month, this will show you how much of your monthly budget has been spent. You can change your monthly budget if you click on the Edit Campaign Settings when you are on the ad group summary page.

  Thank you,

  Brian H - MSFT

  Ahhh... I see the Balance column. I didn't notice it before because it says "0.00". So... this raises another question. Where can I find how much I have left of a promo code?
  
  I understand that I set a monthly budget, but I just prefer to be the one who presses the "Submit" button to make a payment. I don't like automatic payments anywhere in my life. Can you add an option to automatically pause all campaigns when the balance reaches 0.00 instead of adding additional funds?
