Refeer a friend and starter kit

A friend of mine is going to buy the starter kit and try the game. Can I use a refeer a friend code with him, or does he need to subscribe in order to use it?

Anyone tested this? Thanks

well if i understand how the stuff works the vip starter kit gives you 1 month of VIP access, or in other words he is subscribed for all intensive purposes, when that month runs out he will then become a premium player, which i believe can be invited back to get 1 additional month of VIP time

i have not messed around with it at all though just based on what i have read

Well. Most people might understand what he was actually trying to say.

So for all intents and purposes, he's communicated effectively. If not in the grammatically approved fashion.

I think she might be two tents to get this point, maybe she needs a massage?

Thanks but this is not what Im asking, I explained myself poorly

My friend wants to use both the starter kit and the referral code at the same time. Im not seeing a way to do it, since everytime she tries to apply the referral code, she gets promted to select a subscription plan, and no way to include the starter kit serial

I'm pretty sure you can't use both codes, at least not at the same time. The refer-a-friend program can be used with a new or inactive for 90 days (probably meaning non-VIP) account. The starter kit can only be used on a brand-new, no money spent account. If you friend uses the Starter Kit, they will probably have to wait through the VIP month, then an additional 90 days as a Premium account before the Refer-a-Friend code could be used.

If the Refer-a-Friend is used first, you won't get the free time, and they won't get the free points unless they pay for a month's subscription via game time card or recurring billing. Paying for the month will mean being unable to apply the starter kit code.

The Starter Kit cannot be used as a method of payment for the purposes of Refer-a-Friend.

As far as being prompted to enter a subscription plan, either game activation requires entering billing information. Under most circumstances, the billing plan can be cancelled once registration is complete without being charged, but I don't know whether Refer-a-Friend makes an immediate charge to get the free goodies.

For all defensive porpoises, yes.

What do offensive purr passes have to do with this?

By the way, the refer a friend bit is set p to only give credit on the first billing cycle - that's why it asks for a payment method.

And retail codes are not payment methods (Other than the most-likely gone "Game Cards" which were both retail code and time card...)

Yeah that is what I think was said last time these went on sale Vip Starter doesn't count as purchasing the month that the refer a friend wants you to do.

I would never defenestrate a porpoise. That's cruel.
