Hi Eric, Perhaps it might make it better if:
- When signing up for AdWords MCC, if a non-MCC account is used, it specifically mentions that people must use a new email address that hasn't accessed AdWords before to sign up. - Some official documentation - not on this list, but an actual page - asking people to create new accounts that haven't accessed adWords before for MCC access be created. This would save customers from having to access alternative unofficial sources like the one posted below. - The thread below with the angry customers be opened, and an answer attached pointing to the above documentation. I disagree with you about whether it's possible to on an engineering level allow existing accounts to used for MCC in a future version of AdWords but I don't think this is the place for that discussion.
