Clearly, this topic isn’t covered enough since my feed is overwhelmed with people tweeting for free crap via #hashtag promotions. Amex Sync is likely the overall winner in most annoying, but @Clubcarlson does a fine job of giving away points every now and then that encourage people to beg for them at least 5-10 times per day.
- To set up a second twitter account you need to follow these steps very carefully.
- Go to twitter.com
- Set up a new account. Note you cannot use the same name as your old account, because they have some algorithms to prevent that.
- Do not follow me on twitter.
- Tweet to your hearts content.
Please, let’s keep your primary twitter account for bickering and trolling only, per the terms and conditions of twitter.

I’m tempted to retweet this, but alas….

Hey Matt,
What’s the workaround when Twitter is asking for your phone number to set up a new account?

enter a different phone number…
If you REALLY want to get fancy you could use a google voice number or http://www.burnerapp.com/

Mea culpa. I did set up Twitter accounts for Amex syncs but tweeting to Club Carlson is just so easy and tempting when I am on my main Twitter account anyway. Good thing Club Carlson only does it once a year 😉 !

This is hilarious. I just couldn’t handle the shame of my friends seeing me posting on Facebook and twitter about some ridiculous deal (or great deal as it may be). So, I do have a second twitter account, but since I hardly ever even use the main one, I really don’t use the “deals only” one. Oh well, there’s 1000 carlson points I missed out on.
