  1. Gamertag change problem


    Hi.

    So i was about to change my gamertag January 28th. But when i did i didn't get a new gamertag at all and Xbox pulled the double amount of money from my creditcard.

    Have anyone else experienced anything similar? This has never happened to me before. I've changed my gamertag 2 years ago and it worked very good.

    I have no idea what to do. Is this possible to get a refund?

    Sorry for my bad english. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Pick my GT Please.

    I do want to change my gamertag so it's easier for people. Problem is, so many short names are taken.

    Gamertag change problem

    If it says it is taken then it is taken I klallber is the same as iklallber

    Spacing does not affect the name

    You will have to be more creative with your name

    Also searching the site not asking an Xbox agent will help you as it only searches xboxx not Xbox for phones or tablets or zune

    sorry you get one free name change as long as you do it within 30 days of creating the account and only if it was one generated by the system for you (it would look kinda like this 'happykitty12345' ). after that then you will have to pay to change it there
    is no other way to get it for free.

  11. what if you change your email, create another account with a different email with your preferred GT then use your first account as the email for that preferred GT? Ex: (first acct) *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** - GT12345, create another account > (preferred GT) *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***
    - GT00000. Change GT12345's email into a different email, *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***, then exchange it with the GT00000. Does this make sense? LOL

  12. You could do that to get the gamertag that you want. Switching the Microsoft Accounts around would tie your previous digital purchases to the new gamertag, but all of the games that you've completed with the first gamertag would be gone, as they would be
    tied to the first account.

    then its time to read the rules again and take them seriously

    multiple name changes will result in a perma ban of your account

    do you really want to take a chance with your MONEY because you want to be funny?

    your name must be rated E for everyone and you shouldn't try and reuse the same name in a different way if it still contains the offending word or using another letter or symbol to try and bypass the word filter

  15. I agree, there's only one chance to change the Gamertag for free, make sure that the gamertag you have chosen will be appropriate and meets the requirements. It will save you time and money too.
