Or if you switched your gamertag to a whole new Microsoft account then your currency would not switch over to the new Microsoft account either. Really any kind of switching you do it states that any currency you have does not go with your gamertag.

"When you change to a new Microsoft account, the current funds in your original Microsoft account do not transfer to your new Microsoft account." is what its says for switching a gamertag to a new Microsoft account, found here:

Well, you just made a little mistake in it. Setting up a new account with the correct email address was not meant to be set up as a new gaming account on your Xbox, but as a new account on live.com because then it has no gamertag associated.

Take this guide here and do it again. In the guide is also explained how to unbound the unwanted gamertag from your live account. Just keep in mind that "create a new account" is not meant as "create a new Xbox profile" but as create a new account on www.live.com

Creating a new account and changing the gamertag. However, when I tried to change my original account's gamertag to the new one, it was still unavailable. It seems that even if I use the gamertag on a different account, it remains locked.
