    Question about sharing Destiny on two different 360s

    I plan on buying Destiny and my friend is gonna download it from me. Apparently, if you wanna play Destiny on another console on your account, you have to be signed on at all times on the account that purchased it, where as if you wanna play it on the console that you purchased Destiny on, you can sign on any accounts no problem to play it.

    Now this is just what I heard, but I'm confused because my friend managed to download other games from me that I had purchased and play it without any problems. She had to sign onto my account to download it, but once she was finished, she could hop back onto her account and play it with no problems.

    account problem

    One option I would recommend is to use prepaid cards for your son's account. You can add currency to where your son can make purchases using Xbox Gift Cards, and you can add Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass subscriptions using prepaid membership cards
    for those particular services.

    Another option is using a passkey to prevent purchases without your OK.
    This page
    will explain how.

    Before you can customize your child's experience on Xbox Live's social features, you will need to sign in to your new Xbox console as the parent.

    When booting up your console for the first time, it will prompt you for your email and password, create a Gamertag for you, and you'll be ready to go. In case you didn't know, Gamertags are your username on Xbox Live. You can use this username to share an
    anonymized identity online, which is ideal for youngsters on the network. To get your child signed into your new Xbox console, follow these steps.

    1. Press the Xbox button at the top-center of your controller to open the Guide menu.
    2. Navigate with the right bumper across to the
      cogwheel icon.
      1. Select settings.

        Note: "A" on the Xbox controller is near-universally considered the select button, whereas "B" will take you backward to the previous option if you make a mistake.
      2. Select Family under the Account section.
      3. Select Add to Family
      4. Select Add New.
      5. Sign in with your child's Microsoft Account and password. You will then be prompted to sign in as the parent.
      6. Sign in with your Microsoft account and password.
        1. Once the parent account has been signed in, your child will be designated a random Gamertag and offered security settings:
          • No barriers allows anyone to sign in as the child, which might be less ideal in scenarios with multiple children sharing the same Xbox.
          • Ask for my passkey allows a child to set up a 6-figure code for buying things and changing settings. Parents still have ultimate control.
          • Lock it down allows the child to require their Microsoft Account password for signing in, changing settings and spending Xbox credit.
        2. Once you have selected security settings, Microsoft offers some information about Gamerpics and Gamertags, before allowing your child to customize their Xbox's accent color.
        3. You will then be offered the option of purchasing Xbox Live Gold, which is required for online play, receiving discounts, in addition to four free games per month. You can also decline.

          Note: Only one signed-in user needs an Xbox Live Gold subscription for everybody on that Xbox to enjoy the benefits. It's probably best to manage this on your own parental account.
        4. The child can now sign-in by tapping the Xbox button to open the Guide,** and moving to the far left by using the left bumper button.
        5. Select the child's profile with the "A" button to sign in.

    Account problem!

    Hey, ROVE96OCM!

    If you redeemed the codes for the Microsoft currency on a different Microsoft account than the one that is linked to this gamertag, there is no way to transfer those funds or link up the accounts at this time. You can see how our prepaid codes work on our

    Learn about gift cards and prepaid codes
    support article. You will have to make the purchase on the account that you redeemed the codes on.

    You can always contact us via phone or chat to see if there's anything else they can do, however we can't guarantee that they will be able to fix this.

    However, if there's another issue at play here, please let me know so that I can ensure I'm giving you the appropriate information and support that you require. :)

    Problem with account

    Hello skiprat1977,

    If Xbox Live Rewards is unable to deposit into your account for some reason, as long as you have not opted out to make the transition to Microsoft Rewards, any undeposited Xbox Live Rewards Credits and unredeemed MyVIP Gems will be automatically converted
    to Microsoft Rewards points and be added to your Microsoft Rewards account to redeem for whatever you choose from the Microsoft Rewards catalog.
