This is very embarrassing: a few months ago I registered my a credit card to my Google account to enable Google translate in an application I am developing. Since then, Google has been happily billing my card, but I have never received an email invoice and when I now log in with the account I think I used, I see the Translate API disabled in the API Console and I can't find any billing tab.
I've searched my emails and electronic receipts but can't find any confirmations connecting a particular Google account (I have about 10 for different clients and projects). Is there any way of working back from the key and find the corresponding Google account? Any other suggestions? It's kind of bad form to not sending some email to confirm a credit card charge of ~$100 a month...

Go to the Google Maps Platform > Credentials page. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key. The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
Store API keys or signing secrets in files outside of your application's source tree. If you store API keys or any other private information in files, keep the files outside your application's source tree to keep your keys out of your source code control system.
An API key is a simple encrypted string that identifies an application without any principal. They are useful for accessing public data anonymously, and are used to associate API requests with your project for quota and billing.
I ended up tracking down the account. It was a gmail account and all the receipts had been emailed to that account too obviously.
