Hey Wooterxxxxxxx! Yeah, I’m talkin’ to you! You know who you are. Want to change your name to something more fun or stylish? We got your back. Just follow these steps and you can be on your way to being unique just like everyone else!
This is only for “Login with Amazon” accounts that have a Wooterxxxxxx username.
We are unable to change Woot usernames or Amazon login accounts that have already changed their username.
Pick a new username
A few things to keep in mind:
You can only change your username ONCE. So make sure it’s a name you can live with.
Don’t use personal/private information like your real name, email address, etc.
No profane or otherwise inappropriate names. We’ll remove it and you just lost your chance to change your name.
It could take up to 30 minutes for the change to populate through our database. To see your new username in the forums, you’ll need to log out of Woot & the forums and then log back in.
I’ve been looking to turn over a new leaf and start building relationships from scratch, so I tried these steps. I got to a screen that read,
“If you want to change the name associated with your Woot customer account, you may do so below. Be sure to click the Save Changes button when you are done.”
Name associated with woot customer account seems different than a username.
So funny story about user names (well, maybe funny)
I have played League of Legends off/on forever.
Back in some year a while ago, I changed my name. I had the intention of putting it as “Shawndhi” (Like Gandhi, but with Shawn, I duno, it seemed clever at the time)
However… I put in Shawdhi (I forgot the N). For a 2 months, my mind automatically put the “N” in the name every time I looked at it and I never noticed it was missing. I played games with people, and people were generally really friendly towards me.
It wasn’t until one random day I was sitting there and saw it said Shawdhi, not Shawndhi. I admit, I paid to change it, but I did and I added the “N”.
So I was chatting to a “friend” I had made on there about me missing the “N” this entire time. His response: “Wait… you aren’t a girl?”
Then it dawned on me… Shawdhi… Shorty… what people sometimes call women… and this whole time people were assuming I was a woman.
Needless to say, some people unfriended me and the general extra friendliness I received as I played was no longer there.
Uuum. Tried this & can’t get it to work - def 1 of those tech challenged ones. When I log in using AMZN password function doesn’t give me ability to change name dropdown in upper right hand corner. Also doesn’t give me “Hi WooterXXXXXXYX” as per yer exact description. After I login in using AMZN I get the lovely avatar + my wooterxxxxxxx identifier - but there is no greeting ‘hi’ before it. Could the issue be that I’m attempting to change my wooter name using an iphone? (know sometimes mac/osx issues craep up) Or perhaps the issue be as soon as I log in using AMZN I’m auto directed to app instead of staying on true woot.com site? An help or guidance would so be appreciated. Thx in advance! Regrets if I missed anything obvious in your very helpful steps.
