  1. 2 gamer tags with same email. Help!


    when transferring from Xbox 360 to Xbox one, the Xbox one has given us a new gamer tag with the same email as our actual gamer tag.

    Our gamer tag which we want to keep Is on the Xbox one and seems to be working fine BUT when we log in online to change settings etc (Microsoft account) it logs us in with the alternate gamer tag.

    It is with the same email as I have checked it letter by letter.

    How do we get rid of the additional gamer tag and keep our existing gaming data from our existing gamer tag?

    It's not supposed to be possible to be able to have the gamer tags with one email address but ive read a few forums now where this has happened.

    Any help much appreciated.

    :)

    Hey there ChromeStatue88.

    The same Microsoft Account wouldn't be usable across two gamertags, it's like likely that you may have mistyped your e-mail or used a different e-mail for your original Xbox Live account. Have you had a chance to test different e-mail addresses?

    Anyone know how to get my old gamer tag onto my console after starting a new account?

    Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me but that isn’t helping.

    Maybe I’m not explaining this right.

    I restarted my console this morning when I signed back in I didn’t read things correctly and used my email and password to sign in and then started with a new gamer tag with the same email as my old gamer tag.

    Now when I sign in it’s my new gamer tag that pops up. I tried deleting the new tag off my console and resigning in but again the new gamer tag pops up.

    There is no option to look for tags associated with the same email???

    All my purchased games and game pass is associated with my old gamer tag. How do I get my old gamer tag back with this email and onto my console???

    You had to have used a different email for the new account. Its simply not possible to have two accounts under the same exact email.

    If you tried it would say the account already exists

    Same email, different gamer tag

    Hey StretchySalmon!

    In all honesty, you're best bet is probably going to be to talk to Xbox Support. You can reach them:
    http://support.xbox.com/en-US/ or at 1 (800) 4-MYXBOX (1 800 469 9269) I would recommend choosing the issue for 'My Account' and explain to them what's going on. It's possible there could be a typo
    making a mess of things or that your account got split up somehow.

    Good luck!
