So… There are three different tricks to registering your gmail address over and over at the same site without it being rejected as “Already Registered”

Use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com

Both domains will send email to your email address. So, my email address: joey.novak@gmail.com is also joey.novak@googlemail.com

Put dots in your username whereever you want

No lie, Google just strips out all the dots before it delivers email to you. So, jo.eynovak@gmail.com is the same as joey.novak@gmail.com. I use this at work to test things ALL the time. You can even use LOTS of dots. So, j………………..oeynovak@gmail.com will get to me too.

Put a + at the end of your username and put whatever you want after it.

joey.novak+test123@gmail.com is the same as joey.novak@gmail.com This one isn’t as good as the other two, because some sites (facebook cough cough…) say “This isn’t a valid email address” even though it works at other places fine.

Conclusion

So that’s it! Now go sign up for free trials again and again at: https://www.copilot.com/, or https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/HelpDesk/Home.aspx?home=2&lang=en
