    Can I use Microsoft account balance to change gamer tag on Xbox 360?


    I was told buy “Yumi T” I think on Xbox partners chat that I could, then I double checked after I already bought and redeemed the gift card (im stupid for that), and someone else said I couldn’t… Am I able to change my gamer tag on an Xbox 360, using my Microsoft account balance from a $10 Xbox gift card?

    :)

    Can I use Microsoft account balance to change gamer tag on Xbox 360?

    Hello, #KristianStebbins. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    I'm sorry to say, but it is not possible to use Microsoft balance to purchase a gamertag change.

    A similar thread regarding the same inquiry is available here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/2147f8be-6249-4698-aae0-88511a571564

    Furthermore, it is important to note that you can try to use the balance to purchase an Xbox 360 game on Xbox.com.

    I know this is not the kind of answer you were expecting, but I hope it helps in some way.

    Thanks for your attention,

    Arturo.

    I am having the same problem for weeks - gamer tag is . I have been on with support for hours and they have basically washed their hands of it. I can't see or use my account balance on xbox one only and only with respect to this gamer tag.
    It works fine on 360 or on xbox one with another gamer tag. Any idea if our accounts will be fixed?

    Why has my gamer tag not changed on xbox1

    Yeah hi, yes it was my one and only free gamer tag change, it has worked for my Microsoft xbox.com account and on my Xbox 360 so can't understand what a free gamer tag change is good for if it hasn't truely changed?

    Hi julien,

    In the xbox there is a option where you can change the Microsoft account that is uses for the gamer tag.

    Go to,

    Settings,

    account,

    your information,

    account security,

    change Microsoft account.

    then follow the steps.

    and every thing that is on the gamer tag will move over to the Microsoft account,

    I do not know if you need to access the proofs on the locked account if so then you cant do the transfer.

    May the force be with you

    The gamertag you're looking for might not be in use but it could still be tied to another account. When you create a Microsoft Account and then go to Xbox.com or sign in on Xbox, the system creates a gamer tag for that profile. And you can change it once
    for free.

    So that gamer tag is still probably tied to an account. And if the account is in use elsewhere, then you're out of luck until that person stops using the account for 5+ years or changes the gamer tag on that account.

    The case number you provided doesn't do anything for anyone here. Xbox Support has to generate a case number for their notes as calls come in. No one here in the forums or Xbox Support has control or the ability to change anyone's gamer tag.
