Did Google Change Your Primary Account to a GMail Account?

I just wanted to do a PSA for my fellow CFers.

A couple months ago, Google somehow took my Google account (which I used for Google Wallet, Google Play, etc.) and linked it to a dummy gmail account I had setup for my son's Android phone (needed it to access Google Play). In the process it relegated my regular account to alternate email status and set the dummy gmail account as the primary.

I was back and forth with Google support to try to correct the problem and after 3 weeks of correspondence they basically gave up and said I'd have to get used to the dummy account as my primary google account now.

Today, however, I discovered that I could simply delete my gmail account, and that during the process, it will ask you if you want to use your alternate email address as the primary Google account. YES!

Hope that helps anyone else who got their Google account hijacked by a GMail account.

(sorry for the convoluted post, I'm not very good at explaining stuff sometimes.)
