Hi Mike, Since MCC is a different account than your existing AdWords account, you need a second email address to create an MCC. If you have a gmail account that you don't use with AdWords, you could use that email address in the wizard. If you don't have a second gmail address and you are okay creating one, then create a gmail account and then use that to create your MCC account. If you don't want to create a second gmail address and have an email from another provider, say, Yahoo!, then follow the wizard, select "I do not use these services" and provide the new email address in the signup wizard.
Several users have mentioned on the forum before that they want to use a single email for AdWords account and API MCC account, but unfortunately AdWords doesn't support that case. As for the workaround article you mentioned, you still end up requiring two email addresses. If you don't mind changing your AdWords account's login, then here's a cleaner way (e.g. no need to delete your account as the article mentions) to do things than the one mentioned in the article. - Create a second email address. - Use this FAQ to change the login of your AdWords account to the new email address. http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=27686 - Use your original email address to create an MCC. - Signup for AdWords API in that MCC. - Link your AdWords account under the new MCC. - Use the mcc to manage your AdWords account.
