How to add Bullet points to Adwords Ad? (NOT)

My daily tasks are heavy on Ads Optimization, so when I recently learned how to add bullet points in Google adwords ads, I got pretty excited…

I wrote to adwords support to clarify the issue and received this reply…

Hello Dan,
Thank you for contacting Google AdWords support yesterday to receive
further clarification on whether text ads would be allowed to use bullet
points.

I consulted our specialist team for whether it would be in
compliance with our Editorial Policy on Punctuation and Symbols, as
outlined here:http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guidelines.cs&topic=9271&subtopic=9277&answer=47156
The specialist team said that bullet points would likely be considered
gimmicky or unnecessary punctuation.

If you have additional questions on AdWords policies, please visit the
Advertising Policies section of our Help Center at: http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guidelines.cs

We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising
available.

Sincerely,

The Google AdWords Team
