I just got a main acc. Lets say i get a tag lowkey and i want to swap to my main. What is the fastest/ best way to swap to a main?

How long should i wait before doing so?



also, do NOT pm me asking what the tag is or that you wanna help me, because i wont answer. i wasn't born yesterday lol and if i was trying to swap right now, i would have TIGER, Leader, or Chill help me.
 
Don't let anyone help you, just keep it private for about 3-5 weeks. You should be good after that as long as you don't spread what your tag is.
 
Wait longer than 3-5 weeks, It's to risky and everyone is turboing so just keep it on the low for at least 2 months +

EDIT: For swapping onto mains, use Tinker from your PC and swap the tag on your xbox with the main.
Or use the method to swap tags with making them available.

I don't have tinker and I heard it was patched. Also, how do you do the make them available thing. Please pm me or aim me. Thanks!

Unsure on how.

If you swap from Xbox to Xbox I heard the process could take up to 30+ minutes for the name to become claimable, just hold onto it dude. Not worth the risk.

You know I just swapped 2 public tags ;)
But 3-5 weeks would be enough if the tag isn't publicized already.

PM me your aim and I might be able to help you with that part.
 
I Swapped a Tag from one account to another about two days ago on my Console.

I changed the gamertag, turned off my console, Signed into the one i want the GT on, and claimed it, it was available at that moment. Not sure if there is a better way at the moment.

Was it an OG Tag? And how long did u have it and was it a secret?

Had it for 4 weeks, spoke to nobody about it, and the changing process to about 3 mins, which is quite some time imo, just be VERY careful.

Like everyone's saying. I swapped my tag to my main by just keeping it for a while on my Xbox. Just signed in on the account I was switching it to and it was claimable

So it was an Og? Also, would it work if I split screened and changed it on one controller then the other

Never tried that, ud probably have to sign out the one u just changed it on, like i said, I've only done it once.

Oh okay thank you for the help.

Also, you keep ignoring this question: was it an og or like a semi or what...?

it was a semi, i thought i answers when i said i kept a secret.

And if u just boughtt he main, i would hate to see the main get taken back along with the GT. but GoodLuck

I know, i am going to wait, but i dont think it will get taken back. It currently has never had a ua which is good
 
You can use games for windows live to swap. All you would need to do, is have ms points on your account and you could swap safely on your computer. :) Or you can take the risk of swapping it on your console!
 
Yeah I would suggest keeping the tag very low key and don't tell a single person, Hold the tag for around 1-2 months, and swap it in the middle of the night. If the tag has a high enough value, you should look into buying a turbo and turboing your own tag onto a new account. Better safe than sorry.
 
If you got two Xbox's, or a friend who's close by that you truly trust, you could go on over to his house, recover the OG on the other Xbox, whilst keeping the main on yours. Once you get to this point, have both controllers next to you. Change the Gamertag on the OG to something, while having that very same Gamertag ready to be changed on the main. Once changed from the OG, the tag should be available. I have done this before for a friend who bought a tag from me in real life. We would game together at his house, and I had a semi he wanted so he bought points for both the accounts, was ready to change his tag to the one I gave him, while I changed it off my console..

I will list what I am talking about in steps:

1.) Have two Xbox 's at the ready.

2.) Recover either one or the other accounts onto each of the consoles. (If you want the Main to have less consoles on it, I suggest recovering the OG on the console you will not use.)

3.) Have $10.00 readily available on both accounts so they are ready for the swap.

4.) Set both accounts up at the "Change Your Gamertag" screen.

5.) On the Main account, type in the space what your OG would be. As for the OG account, you would type whatever is available.

6.) To do this properly, Have both controllers at your fingers. Quickly change the OG to whatever you type in that is available. Once you get the notification that it was successfully changed, immediately change the Gamertag on the Main to what your OG was.

I hope this helped you out BasedGod. Let me know what you think. I have done this multiple times, so I can tell you this works.

I guess I will try this in the future, just for security reasons. I may need someone to help me do this on fk cuz I don't have 2 xboxes not does anyone close to me own two xboxes

If you ever need anything man, let me know. I'd be glad to help you with this. It seems complicated but it really isn't.
