I want to redeem points for a new gamertag

Hello PAUL TH3 MONKEY,

This forum is for Xbox Live Rewards issues. We see you only have 1000 Rewards Credits. Therefore, it sounds like you may have us confused with Microsoft Rewards. The Microsoft Rewards program is a separate program, so we are not fully informed on their issues.
You should try contacting their support team via the Microsoft Rewards website.

Hi,

you have to redeem the points for a gift card first. It will be credited directly to your account. Afterwards you can pay the gamertag change with it.

Before you pay make sure that the new gamertag is written right and has no suffix like #1234 at the end (if you don't want a suffix). A suffix means that somebody else is already using this gamertag.

A change can't be reversed or refunded !

On my new xbox I've redeemed my old account but I've changed the gamertag, I'm wanting to transfer games ext from my old xbox to the new one but the data is owned by my old gamertag can I still transfer from the old gamertag to my new one ??

Asking for forced Gamertag changes as a means of dodging the responsibility of paying for it like everyone else is rather akin to asking the police to give you a ride home from work because you don't want to pay for a cab. A Gamertag change isn't that expensive,
but if you really don't want to spend cash on it, I might recommend Bing Rewards. www.bing.com has a rewards program wherein regular use of the search engine yields reward points, which can be redeemed for a variety of things in their catalogue, among which
is Xbox Live Gift Cards. Wouldn't take long to earn enough points to afford a Gamertag change at no out-of-pocket cost. And as an added bonus, unlike the Forced Gamertag Change, you get to pick your own new Gamertag.

On my new xbox I've redeemed my old account but I've changed the gamertag, I'm wanting to transfer games ext from my old xbox to the new one but the data is owned by my old gamertag can I still transfer from the old name to my new one ????
