  1. Combine gamertag from one account with Xbox Live Gold of another account


    I have had a Microsoft account (account 1) for a while, where all my saved games and achievements are. Recently, I purchased an Xbox Live Gold subscription, but the store made a separate account (account 2) for me with that subscription. I'm trying to merge
    these two together into one account, but have had no luck so far.

    I know this question has been asked before, but I found many broken links and solutions that did not work. The closest I get is having to wait 30 days to move my gamertag from account 2 to a third account.

    So far, I found:

    - Cannot move Xbox Live Gold subscription to another account

    - Cannot merge two Microsoft accounts

    - Cannot move gamertag from account 2 for the next 30 days

    - Cannot move saved games and achievements from gamertag 1 to gamertag 2 without blocking new achievements, or not at all, people contradict each other here

    - Unable to find if I can remove gamertag 2. If I could do this, I could move gamertag 1 to account 2, but I don't know if this cancels my Xbox Live Gold subscription (which I fear).

    :)

    Hi,

    What you trying to do is not possible. If a Gamertag has a membership then it is stays on that Gamertag doesn't matter if you change the MSA or not. Possible option for you is call support
    support.xbox.com/contact-us and tell them the membership was applied on the wrong account. If the membership is 3 or 12 months there will be no problem for them to cancel and provide you a token
    which you can redeem on your correct account. If the membership was not a pre-paid code at the fist place then ask them to cancel and you will get a refund or if you over the grace period then you will get a remaining time in token.

  5. I have contacted support via chat, but they suggested I call because of the sensitive account information required to resolve this. I'll make the call tonight if I have some time, or tomorrow. At least I now know it can be resolved, which is a relief.

    Please help me change my gamertag email

    Hi there,

    -

    You can't combine services on different Microsoft Accounts into one.

    You can however move xbox live accounts (and all connected purchases, subscriptions, gamerscore) to another Microsoft Account.

    See this link on how to switch a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account and for all information about it:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account


    -

    Be aware that a xbox live account must be on a console for at least 30 days before it can be moved and only one xbox live account can be on a MS account at the same time.

    Let us know the results
