My gamertag isn't what I picked

tosya420 · Jun 23, 2020

I changed my gamertag to "tosya" thinking that it would be "tosya" in-game, but it's "tosya7641" instead. I thought that the number would only be for adding a friend etc. like how it is in Discord. I wasn't informed that I would not have the gamertag i
picked. If I knew that I would have picked a different gamertag. I want to either change only my classic gamertag without paying for a gamertag change, or revert to my old gamertag.

The name you chose already exists by someone else, so the system automatically generates a numeric id after your nick. For more information visit the FAQ:

It is unlikely but the digital refunds and returns form for Xbox could be a last resort to refunding the gamertag change purchase should you be unsatisfied: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-billing/buy-games-apps/refund-orders

You'd have to check the terms of refunds first beforehand, you can find that here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/...games-apps/digital-game-purchase-refund-terms

Once you change your gamertag to one that includes # with numbers that just allows you to have the name you want. If someone already has the requested name then it can't he taken unless you include the # with numbers.
