Thats it.. I cant link my gamertag to my bungie.net account. When I sign into bungie.net it takes me to the bungie account but and it says "Link your gamertag!" but when I click on it it just takes me to xbox.com home page. when I click on "Already a member". It just takes me to my gamertag homepage on xbox.com. Nothing else. No linking involved. Help!

Hmph. The easiest way for me was to get a Windows Live ID and claim my gamertag. After I had a Windows Live ID, at the top of the Bungie page I just linked it to my Windows Live ID, which is, in turn, linked to My gamertag, etc. (Or at least the gamertag I use exclusively for Halo 2. Hence the 0 achievements.)

Only other thing I can think of is to sign into your gamertag/Windows Live ID and open a new tab of Bungie.net. I think I was already signed into Windows Live when I did it.

Hmmm...I don't see anything that says your gamertag is linked to your Windows Live ID. If it is, then make sure you are using the same ID for your Bungie.net account.

Remember that "linking to Bungie" involves linking the Passport account to Xbox Live, not actually linking it to Bungie.

I'm just trying to link a preexisting gamertag with a preexisting bungie account. I seriously don't see a option to do that at all. And when I made this account it never linked my gamertag in the first place.

I am also using the same Net.Passport for Bungie.net and Xbox.com where I have a gamertag profile.

Is the gamertag already linked to another Passport account?

Making Bungie and/or Passport accounts will not give you any automatic option to link a gamertag. You will have to figure it out yourself. Unless things have changed, it should be easiest to link your gamertag to the account via Xbox.com. I can't remember how to start the process, but it should be easy enough to find.

The account is linked. Just Bungie.net wont recognize it t. I used the same net.passport on both and its obvious because I can connect to xbox.com and bungie.net with the same net. passport and password. I think its a glitch on the bungie.net end and I have no idea how to fix it.

Hmmm...then it does sound like a glitch. If your gamertag is linked to the ID (which if you say is visible from Xbox.com, sounds so), then it should automatically be recognized on Bungie.net (unless something has been changed).

The only thing I can think of that messed with it is when I changed my gamertag user name a few months back but I made this account after the account name change so I don't really see a problem with that. It sucks, a simple step to link a gamertag turned into a all day project for me. :(


Is there a number I can call for Bungie.net to fix this? It has to be a problem on this end. The site just isn't getting the info from Xbox.com Maybe a mod could respond with some advice? This is pretty unacceptable.

I too am having the same problem here is a list of things I have done;
- I made my gammer tag a while ago
- I have a hotmail email accout assigned to it
- I just made a Bnet account today and I want to link my gamertag to it
The thing is, it takes me to a screen and wants me to make an entirely new gammer tag =/
Isn't there any way to take my pre existing gamertag and link it to this Bnet profile?
Thanks for any help.

I think if three people have had this happened I think we deserve a reason as to why. Who knows how many more could have this same problem and not found this topic.

All I want to do fool around with my stats page when it comes out. All I can do now is LOOK at my profile. No uploading videos, nothing. What a bunch of bull.

Did you try clicking here?

Remember, you're not creating a new account but simply an Xbox passport.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I just got a 360 for my birthday on the 15th and I made a Gamertag. Then the other day as I was checking Bungie.net as I always do, I saw the thing about linking your gamertag to a bungie.net account. I made one, or a windows live id or whatever it is, but whenever i click "Link your gmaertag" it brings me to the xbox.com gamertag creation thingy. I already have one, blast it! How are we supposed to do this?!

That link you have in your post Rezener just takes me to my Xbox.com gamertag homepage.... That doesn't help at all.

I sent a email to the webmaster earlier today. Maybe I'll get a answer.

From what others have been saying, that's the site you need to use to link your tag, not B.net.

It takes time for the change to migrate to B.net.

Having the same problem.

Have had my live account linked to my gametag for months, just created a bungie account and shows my gametag not linked. I'm going to leave it for a few hours incase they need to do some processing to make the link.

It appears i have the same issue as others have reported. It definitely looks like a problem at the Bungie end because when I sign in to the Forza Motorsport website with my passport id that is already linked it shows my gamerscore and other stats, when I first joined the Forza site I did not get any prompts to link my gamertag.

Edit: seems to be working now, I can see my Halo 3 stats on my profile page. Looks like it was just a timing issue.

Theres nothing in my profile Information that says Halo 3.

If I cant link these two preexisting Bungie.net and Xbox live accounts. Is there a way to link my gamertag to a brand new Windows Live ID? I know you cant unlink your gamertag off a Windows Live ID but maybe you can link it to another one. Is that possible?
