  1. Xbox Gamertag Swapping


    I recently found out the xbox gamertag policy changed when i went to change the gamertag of one of my profiles. I was originally trying to change the gamertag of my main profile to the tag of one of my alternates, both of which have too many characters
    according to the new policy. I have since reached out to microsoft/xbox several times to see if swapping the gamertags would be possible. I was told that the feature did not exist but i think it should. One example on how this feature could work is the initiating
    party makes a commitment to pay the $10 gamertag change fee that sends a request for gamertag swap to the receiving party. The receiving party is then able to accept or decline and, should they accept, is also able to choose between swapping gamertags or creating
    a new gamertag within the current policy. The initiating party won’t be charged unless the offer is accepted and the receiving party is not charged at all. The offer should also have an expiration period to prevent complications. This example is not perfect
    but it allows xbox users with multiple accounts to swap their gamertags without worry and allows a new type of interaction between xbox users. What do you think about gamertag swapping? Would it be a useful feature?

    :)

    Xbox Gamertag Swap?

    He wants to create a new account with the same name? I don't think it would work, as the name would show as already in use. He can only create a similar one.

    Xbox Gamertag Swap?

    I believe swapping gamertags is not a good idea at all...You could be at risk of a console ban for using someone's gamertag.

    Xbox Gamertag Swap?

    Hi,

    Swapping gamertags ( accounts ) is against the terms of use, not only that, it leaves the people involved open to fraud and all sorts of possible issues. As for your friend with the banned gamertag he can't create a new account with the banned gamertag,
    the gamertag is banned end of story.

    Xbox Gamertag Swap?

    Thx. I believe my question may not be clear enough. We want to swap Gamertag Handles (Names). Not actual Microsoft Accounts.
