VIP Pass Issue

[GandalfWhite659]

Do you have multiple players on the same console? Make sure the VIP benefits weren’t assigned to the wrong GamerTag - XBox Customer Service should be able to help.
A VIP pass is required for each player to receive VIP benefits - but you can’t add them all at once. This solution is verified to work in Forza Motorsport 5 (click page icon next to username to see original post)

How I got V.I.P. to work on two profiles:

Similar to the previously posted method, with one important difference. I uninstalled the VIP from the main account, and then set BOTH my main account AND my secondary account to “This is not my home Xbox”.

That way it took game sharing rights away from everyone, and by navigating through the store with my NON-VIP secondary account I was able to purchase it normally, although I could not play the game through that account of course. The store doesn’t seem to care if you have ownership of the game at that point. It’ll still take your money.

I let it install from the secondary account, and then I then set both accounts back to “This is my home Xbox”, and everyone is now VIP, and can “share” the game again.

My bet is that car packs would work the same way.

… Note that a second profile doesn’t need to purchase the DLC pack while on a console with a Home profile that owns the pack if they just want to Rent or Buy the pack cars in their gamesave. These steps are only necessary to provide the full benefits of DLC ownership to the second profile.

One IMPORTANT step missing from the list above: before you attempt to buy the VIP membership EVERY OTHER ACCOUNT MUST BE SIGNED-OUT. Otherwise, this will not work. It’s not enough to simply switch accounts. You must sign out of all them except the one account that you’d like to buy the VIP membership for.

You can contact Xbox Customer Support (http://support.xbox.com) if this workaround locks your account due to the “This is not my home XBox” limit of 3 changes per year. Oddly, I couldn’t get the Xbox Support site to complete service request using Explorer or Firefox on my desktop computer, but the site connected fine from my smartphone.
