So, I, along with my parent's help, removed my auto-renewal. However, the man on the phone who was helping, us told us of a cheaper option on how to pay for XBL. it is called the Family Pack, and the process involves changing my Windows Live ID to my actual email. The other problem was, is that when i first created an XBL profile, it was done with my parent's email. Therefore, my profile I'm on now is linked with my parent's XBL who is hosting the family pack.

So, normally I would just change this account's windows Live ID to my XBL GT's new Windows Live ID, but I don't want to risk screwing up the Family Pack.

I think you may need to ask the nice people at Xbox support on how you may handle this situation. You cannot change the WLID that is linked to your Bungie.net account.

Can't you change it through Profile>Edit Profile>Profile Info?

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

No you can only change certain things you may hide your Gamertag but thats all you can change as far as that.

Unless things have changed quite drastically in the past few months that I didn't notice; no, you cannot. The WLID that you used when you created your account is the only one that can be linked to the account.

What you see in your "Edit Profile" is the email address you are permitting Bungie to use to contact you with offers and such.

I do have an alternate account that my GT is now linked to. Is there any way that I can get the name of the account changed?

Not even the webmaster?

There isn't any way to have this and my alternate account deleted, so I can create a new one?
