Gamertag still hasn’t updated after i paid for it

Hi Ciara23!

Please confirm on your account order history from https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/ if your gamertag payment has been completed already.

If so, try to re-claim your gamertag using a different device or internet browser. You could also browse in incognito mode and use this link https://social.xbox.com/ChangeGamerTag

So why does it appear that he doesn’t have any sort of subscription when I paid for a 12Month one? Surely that one I paid for should still be active but it is showing that he hasn’t got anything.

Hi,

and don't wonder if ithows the new Gt and next time you log in it shows the old again or both(!).

That could all happen during that week depending on what server you are playing ! ^^

Hi Maddi. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. It can take up to a week for your gamertag change to take effect across all Xbox services. It will usually take effect after a few hours or a couple of days, but I advise allowing up to a week for the change to complete.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this on your purchased gamer tag. I am here to help.

I understand that you are having problems with your newly purchased gamer tag. This issue can sometimes occur due to a delay in the Xbox Live Server updating your profile information. Kindly try to perform the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Sign out of your Xbox account and restart your console.

2. Sign in again and go to Settings > Personalization > My profile > Customize profile.

3. Select your gamertag and press A to edit it.

4. Confirm your gamertag and press B to save it.

5. Launch any game and check if your gamertag is updated.

You can also try to sign in to social.xbox.com to see if your gamer tag has been updated. If the old gamer tag is still showing up, try to proceed if you can change your gamer tag for free. Do not proceed if it will charge you.

If it doesn't work, please reach out to Microsoft Xbox Support as they have the tools and resources to access your account and possibly fix your gamer tag on their end. You can contact them through this link:
