Subject: Problems Linking Bungie.net account to Gamertag

First off, this is not for me, however, I am posting it because the person having problems can't post on here, as he can't sign into his account. Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. Here is his problem.

My old Bungie Provile is still active, and I can "find" my Profile name of BadBrad5150 (here). But if you look at the bottom-right of the screencap of my Profile, you'll see it says "Gamertag for this member is Unavailable."

So, I then click on the Windows LIve ID sign-in. I'm able to sign-in to Windows LIve. But then it takes me to a 2nd step where it asks me to create a "new" Bungie Profile name. Then obviously I can't use my Gamertag/old Bungie Profile name, because it says it's already in use.

Also, I can't simply sign in to my Bungie Profile by any other means, as it uses the Windows Live ID sign in. Therefore, I never have a chance to log in to my Profile, and then link to my Gamertag.

Nor can I create an alternate Bungie Profile in order to post on their site, cause I only have one Windows Live ID.

See my delimma? Can anyone here assist? THANKS!!!!

You need to figure out what PASSPORT account your first account is on, but if you can't remember... then simply create a new one, sign into Bungie.net and then start the account process all over again. Yes, that includes choosing a new User Name and properly linking your Gamertag (if you have one). Check out our Help page for further information.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Hey, my GT is linked but I do not have the symbol behind my name, WHAT THE HECK

Follow the above steps to enable it on your Xbox Live tag... you don't get it by simply linking your Gamertag, you must enable it!
