Battlefield 4 Premium Next Gen Transfer Expiration Date?

So I was trying to find this answer via any source I could think of, and unforunately the only answer I could find on my own dealt with the "upgrade" promotions available via different retailers (the one where you get BF4 on PS4/Xbox One for 9.99).

What I'm wondering about is the stats transfer - specifically the transfer of BF4 Premium between current gen and next gen. What's the expiration date on that? Meaning, when does that offer (the free transfer requiring only a one time purcahse of Premium) end?

If nobody knows for sure, I'll try pinging a Game Advisor next.

    Hello,

    In my opinion there is no date exparation, but you can contact EA game advisers for more accurate information:

    1 Click on the following link: https://help.ea.com/contact-us

    2 Click on the blue button "Contact a Game Advisor"

    3 Enter the name of your game or product (or "Origin" for account-related issues) and click "Find Solutions"

    4 Select the type of issue and the platform you play on, and click on "Find Solutions" again.

    5 Click on the blue button "I still need help" if the FAQ articles do not apply to your situation.

    6 Select a contact option. Note that you may get different contact options depending on your country or time of day.

  • Yep, that's what I'll do. Just wanted to check here to make sure I hadn't missed something before I bothered a Game Advisor. Thanks. Just in case anybody else has this issue, I actually found the answer here: http://blogs.battlefield.com/2013/09/upgrade-to-nextgen/

    They updated the FAQ to include an expiration date of March 28th, 2014 - which I'm guessing has to do with the Premium transfer. I can't see them making your stats unable to transfer.

    Thanks, but that doesn't really answer the question as to when I will no longer be able to transfer my Premium content and I'll have to buy it over again. I found those same articles/blogs, but they're alarmingly vague as to when the data transfer of stats/Premium subscription will expire.
