BF6 Beta Code mishap

Question

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there can provide a solution to a predicament I'm having.

This may be a bit lengthy as it's difficult to explain.

TLDR; EA account was linked to old Steam that I do not have access to. (Didn't realize that was an issue at the time, it was.) Linked twitch, input BETA code. Opened Battlefield 6, failed to login to BF6 because EA account was linked to a different steam account. Created new EA account to link to new Steam account. Can't play on new EA account because I already used the Twitch BETA code I received.

Long story long, I logged into an old EA account from when I used to play Battlefield 4. It appears my EA account was linked to an old steam account that I no longer have access to. Without realizing, I linked my Twitch account to that EA account and input the BETA code I received from 30 minutes of view time. After downloading BF6 on my new steam, I opened the game and went to login, only to realize it wouldn't let me login due to my EA email address being linked to a different steam account (my old steam).

This is when the predicament started to happen... Thinking it wouldn't be a major issue, I figured I could unlink my steam account from my EA account and relink my new steam account. Wrong, you are only allowed to link one steam account to your EA account. Therefore, went with my next big brain solution. I created a new EA account, figured no harm... I'm already on a new steam account, why not make a new EA account go along with it. Easy fix. To make things easy, you are allowed to unlink your Twitch account and relink it to a new EA account (Once every 6 months it appears.)

So now, I'm on my new Steam account, I've created a new EA account to link to my steam, and I've linked my Twitch account to my new EA account. There's one issue with this... the beta code I received from watching Twitch was linked to my previous EA account/steam account. Now I've got everything prepared to login to the beta, I just don't have a code to input. I thought maybe I could make a fresh Twitch for the soul purpose of receiving a code; however, I can't even make a new Twitch account because Twitch requires a unique cell phone number to create a new account.

Pretty much this same thing happened to me, after watching almost 6 hours of twitch this morning for access code and skins I got home from work and realized this as well. Extremely disappointed and wish there was a way to fix it but I haven’t been able to find anything, please let me know if you do!

Partial solution: I don't know what changed between last night and this morning, but I can now create a new Twitch account using just my email address. Last night while creating a new Twitch account, it would not let me click the sign-up button unless I input a phone number with the account. I'm going to try watching BF6 streams on my alt-Twitch account and see if I can get a code that way.

Did this work for you? My friend is having the same issue

So after a couple of hours I was able to create a new twitch account (sucks but it is what it is) and link that to my EA account that had steam originally linked. I was able to watch streams for a couple of hours today and a code was sent to my twitch inbox. About 2 hours later it started progress on the skins again for in game, so if anyone else has this issue this is likely going to be the only solution, just make sure the twitch you are watching on is linked to the EA account with your steam!&nbsp;
