Typo in my gamertag.

Micah Chandler1 · Feb 22, 2023

When I got my Xbox, I just signed into my old account and changed my username. However, the input glitched out and now I have a typo in my name. Is there any way to get a second free name change?

Sorry, Micah, and thank you so much for your kind understanding.

Hi Micah, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

I apologize but according to Xbox Support:

"If this is your first time changing your gamertag, you can change it one time for free. This is regardless of whether we created it for you automatically when you first signed up for Xbox (meaning you didn’t choose it yourself) or if you created your own gamertag at signup.

Note After changing your gamertag once, all future gamertag changes require a fee"

This means that we really need to pay if we will change the Gamertag again.

I was up untill early hours thinking of a new nickname, but i chose the wrong meaning to a word (name) in Russian, do xbox do refunds on gamertags? ️

For refunds you would have to contact support and speak to billing, but generally there are no refunds on gamertag changes. http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

That's a bit of a downer. At least it, as you said, isn't that big of a deal (barely noticeable really). Thanks for the help!

No, there is no other way than paying 800 msp. But I guess Cammando is just a good a name. Wouldn't want to spend 800 to change it. Be proud of your name
