Cant use gift cards to change gamertag?

Translated for other users: Change gamertag

Hello, I would like to change my gamertag, although it has a cost, but I would like to use a gift card, only I do not know what the gift card is, would someone tell me what the gift card is? If the Windows Store or Xbox, thank you in advance.

Hi there AlonsoMendoz

Gift cards can be purchased in some retailers that are codes under a scratch area, and you can then add the code to your gamertag and use it to pay for things like games as well as name change.

Hola AlonsoMendoz

Las tarjetas de regalo se pueden comprar en algunos minoristas que son códigos bajo un área de rascar, y luego puede agregar el código a su gamertag y usarlo para pagar cosas como juegos, así como el cambio de nombre.

Yes, exactly. Can I use the balance in my microsoft account to buy the change of the gamertag or do I have to use a debit or credit card? If the second option is the only one available, can I take the money out of the microsoft balance and back to a gift card? (because you can use a gift card as a payment method)

Hello, when you change the Gamertag, you have no choice. It is best to add a credit card to Xbox and change the name. I'm not sure but it should work despite the Gift Card currency.

Hi,

you have to redeem the points for a gift card first. It will be credited directly to your account. Afterwards you can pay the gamertag change with it.

Before you pay make sure that the new gamertag is written right and has no suffix like #1234 at the end (if you don't want a suffix). A suffix means that somebody else is already using this gamertag.

A change can't be reversed or refunded !

thanks for your answer - but where do i find a site so i can put my points and get a gift card?

on the microsoft rewards site there isnt any option to buy a gift card for XBOX.

can you show me how to do it?

Thank you for the response can i buy a US xbox live gift card 10$ and pay with that instead to change my gamertag ? Since i can change my Microsoft account region to US to get it to work maybe?
