Alright so I got the boot from Celeste as well. Was doing PCR, Virgin and Doubletree on a roughly daily basis manually using FourSquare on the phone. Just typing quickly.

Anyway, I have to ask the obvious question. Why can't I just create another account?

With many of these accounts its relatively easy to create another account and then later merge the two together. I'm not certain about HH or VA or PCR but certainly this is doable for AA or UA. And creating another Facebook account or whatever to back the new TopGuest account seems easy enough.

The only trick is that all of the mileage accounts typically have to have the same address and name for the merge to be done. So creating a different name probably wouldn't be okay. Might get away with a slight name correction once in a while but that isn't going to be scalable.

I searched back through the last 5-6 pages of this thread to see if this was being discussed. Sorry if this is redundant somehow.
