Hi Mark, others, A few of you have contacted me privately about this issue. Upon investigating, I found that the issue is that on the page linked from the Help Center (https://www.google.com/adwords/manager-accounts/), there are two links:
a) *START NOW* in the upper right corner. This link will create an AdWords *client* account, not a manager account. b) *START USING MANAGER ACCOUNTS* in the body of the page, which takes you to: https://adwords.google.com/um/MccStartNow. This link will create an AdWords *manager* account. This is the one you should use if you are going through the AdWords API Sign Up guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/signup> to request a developer token. If you clicked a) instead, you have a few options: 1. If you have another email address/Google account, you can use the link in b) to create a manager account for that address. 2. If you do not have another email address you can use, check if your email provider supports adding '+' before the domain name of your email address. If so, you can create a new account as described in the third paragraph of the Tip section of this Help Center article <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6139186#add_email>.
