    Gamertag change tool confusing tag without suffix


    Okay, long story short, I had an old gamertag that I wanted to move over to a newer microsoft account and now the gamertag tool is confused.

    Old account: renamed to OG (said would now be available).

    New account: #5311 trying to rename to

    When I go to try and change the gamertag it now tells me:

    "You already own that gamertag, if you’re happy with it you don’t need to make any changes."



    The only way I see out of this is paying for 2 consecutive name changes, support said they couldn't help. It seems like the name change tool doesn't realize the clean tag is different than the one with the suffix...

    :)

    Change gametag between 2 accounts

    Once the gamertag is free for other accounts to use, you should be able to change it to that tag without the suffix. But for now, as it's reversed to the original account still, it will add a suffix for other accounts that try to use the tag. Please allow some more time and try again later.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    get rid of the stupid numbers on a unique name

    Their are gamertags that are still registered from the system but are not searcheable anymore due to it being inactive. If the system still recognizes that tag, it will always provide you a suffix after it. If you want to have a gamertag without suffix, you can change it again and just make sure to double check before confirming if the system will provide suffix or not to know that this has not been used by anyone yet. But suffix is really not that bad since it will show up smaller in game, like being separated from the original tag.

    New Gamer tag System

    The only way to have the tag without the suffix is to change it to a tag that nobody else has.

    Is there a way to get my old gamertag back or fix it for free?

    The only way to fix it would be to change it again which would involve paying again. There is no way to get another free change. If the system still sees your old gamertag as being in use or someone else has already taken it, you will be given the suffix
    again. The only way to have a gamertag without the suffix is to pick a tag that no one else has.
