    Unable to change gamertag


    Hi all,

    I would like to change my gamertag, but I am not able to pay, because I don't have a creditcard. Unfortunately, this is the only available payment method, but not one that is common where I am from.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to fix this (except getting a creditcard)?

    :)

    Unable to change gamertag

    I created my account 7 years ago online, but didn't have an Xbox 360 at the time, and wasn't aware that you could change your gamertag for free for the first time. I just now learned that there is an expiration date for the first free gamertag change, and
    now I have to pay to change it. I contacted customer support, and was told to make a post here to see if a moderator could do anything for me.

    Thank you in advanced.

    Change gametag

    Unfortunately no, the changing of the gamertag is universal for Xbox games to the profile. If you're unable to change the gamertag due to a time restriction then you'll be unable to have a different display in the games you play.

    I want to change my gamertag... says not allowed - Why?

    Is it saying the gamertag is not allowed or that you are unable to change your gamertag at all?

    Error on gamertag ? (Halo MCC)

    Have the same prob.

    I created for MCC an account; created the gamertag as shown here "" it said that the gamertag is available - but after that, I got a different one.

    Since then, I'm unable to change the gamertag on the homepage.

    If I try to change the gamertag on the XBox Live homepage - there occurs an error and I'm unable to change it.

    It says, that I should try it later - i try it now since 3 days.

    Free Gamer Tag Change

    You are entitled to a free change if the gamertag you are using is one of the generated/suggested gamertags that they make for you.

    If you made your own gamertag, then unfortunately you are unable to change it for free.
