The cost is around $10 per change,the problem you have is that you would first need to free up the gamertag that you want,which is currently being taken up by your second account.

-

Therefore you would first need to change the tag aamergeddon to something else at the cost of $10, to free it up.

You would then need to pay $10 on your aameryounis account,to change it to aamergeddon.

-

This is all dependent on whether old tags are released once they have been changed,i was informed they are but they may not be any more.

If they are,there may a time delay that it takes for it to be released,it may be days,weeks.

-

A cheaper way is to change your aameryounis to aamergeddon but add some numbers or letters to it e.g xaamergeddonx

You can find information on how to change your gamertag here - https://support.xbox.com/account-management/change-xbox-live-gamertag

That specific gamertag is already taken though so you would need to choose something else.

I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

In the past, a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result,
the Gamertag enforcement process changed. A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

standard Gamertag change process.

Hi there,

Yes, changing the gamertag again should be possible, als changing back to your previous Gamertag is possible, as long as your original Gamertag isn't already taken by somebody else.

Keep in mind each change will require a payment.

Hi there,

I'm afraid there are no free gamertag changes, if a gamertag was deemed to break the CoC/ToU then you will given a generated one and if you want to change the gamertag into something chosen by yourself it will have the fee like any gamertag change.
