I changed my gamertag and would like to link it to my windows live id but I can't seem to switch it from my old gamertag. Can I do it?

Im having the same problem and no one seems to help. I recently changed my gamertag and now my entire service record is gone. Every time i try to check it says service record not found. Then i search my username and it shows me that my gamertag is my new one, yet i still have no record.

You changed your gamertag? Or did you change the name? Your Gamertag linked to your Bungie.net profile can't be unlinked because it's permanently bound to that WLID.

If you changed the name, it usually takes a day or so for Bungie.net to catch up and change it. Though with all of the traffic on the site lately, it may take longer.

I went into my profile management through my 360 dashboard and paid 800 microsoft points to change my gamertag. There has to be a way to switch my WLID to my current gamertag, if not, come on Bungie. That can't be that difficult to make happen.

UPDATE: About 5 seconds after I submitted this I went back in and it was showing my new gamertag, lol. It happened automatically. Just takes some time apparently. HALO 3 ROCKS!!

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

It may take a few days for the data to transfer to B.net.

Why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain?

I was wondering if you change your gamertag name do you lose all your gamerpoints, Halo 3 Rank and history? or can you keep on going like before just with a new name
