I still need help changing my account from ADV to TWTR

My twitter name is "stripwalker". I have both made offers and had them accepted. Currently, I have a small balance remaining in my account ($3-ish). I find it hard to believe, as a web-developer myself, that you guys "cannot change accounts that have made offers or deposited money". Please don't mark this thread as "answered" until I have actually been helped. Thanks.

Sorry to say it Strip, but we can't change your account at this easily. Right now the way things are setup, each User is either an Advertiser or Tweeter -- not both. This was a big engineering mistake on our part in creating the system, but for previous Izea properties it was never an issue since the accounts just used email address. We're making plans to re-engineer things to support

The problem is that is the tweeters you've made offers to are now associated with your account, via the offers you've made. If we delete your account, those offers wouldn't be associated with anything and the tweeters pages would all break. Since they're associated with your account as an advertiser it can't just be toggled to being a tweeter (can't be both at the same time at the moment).

Here's what we can do. Create another Twitter account -- maybe stripwalkerAdvertiser or something. Respond back and let us know what the twitter account name is. I'll update your original account to point to that twitter screen name, then you should be able to log into it using your new account.

After that you should be able to signup again from scratch using your @stripwalker account as a tweeter.

Adam, thank you for your help. I have already created another account as an advertiser "lvstripwalker". I have funded this account, made offers and had them accepted, so hopefully that should be good enough for your purposes. Let me know what else I can do to make this happen.

Hey Strip, unfortunately we can't merge the opps/offers from your @stripwalker into your @lvstripwalker account. We can change the twitter account associated with either, but can't merge them together. But if we get a completely new screen name, I can change @stripwalker to that, then you'd be able to create the tweeter account.

This is mostly just because of our distributed application architecture -- we would have to change things on a number of systems including past financial logs to attribute previous offers to a different account -- which is beyond the abilities of the system at this time. But we can just change the twitter handle associated with it to a new one at least.

Ok, I have created @stripwalkers

Ahh ok, you should be able to login to your old account with @stripwalkers and create a new tweeter account on SponsoredTweets with @stripwalker.

This is actually the first time we've tried this (oh us developers know what the advertiser want to hear ;p) so please give us a heads up if anything is wrong and we'll look into it.

That did the trick! Thanks for hanging in there with me and resolving the issue.

Please help. I would like to change my acct from Advertiser to Tweeter. DIdnt create any opps.

Hey Jonathan,

I got your information from Carri and moved you over to tweeters. You should be able to login as a tweeter now.

Just a heads up for anyone else interested in this -- we're currently working on a better way of handling this that will be available to all users soon. If you're wanting to change your account from an advertiser to a tweeter, please watch for new updates on the blog ( http://sponsoredtweets.com/help/updates/ ) and we'll be sure to announce when this feature is available. Thanks for your patience while we implementing this the right way!
