Can I preorder EA FC Ultimate and benefit secondary account instead of primary?

Can I preorder EA FC Ultimate edition using my primary account in my PS and have my secondary account benefit from the pre-order perks instead of primary account?

Reason I'm asking is I have PSN credit on my primary account that I want to use to pre-order. But I created another account to play ultimate edition this year as I've lost access to my EA account for primary account.

Your help would be much appreciated!

  • Hey @Assassin_Bicky,

    The pre-order bonus would be linked to your EA account, so it wouldn't be possible to have them redeemed on the secondary account.

    Maybe you can check with PlayStation and see if there is an option to move the PlayStation credits to solve this.

    But you would need to buy the game on the account, where you would like to receive the pre-order content.

    Hey @wysb65

    This sounds a bit like a different issue here.

    I'd recommend checking your Xbox order history and see if the pre-order is showing there for you.

    If it doesn't show, get in touch with Microsoft, so they can check your Xbox account for any issues with the transaction.

  • Hi! I have pretty much the same problem: I pre-ordered EA Sports FC on my girlfriends account but wanted to activate bonuses on my own. Now, when I know it's not possible, I want to cancel this pre-order and buy it again, for my account this time. But there's a catch — I bought the game August 22th and would get UCL Hero. Since it's september already, I won't get it anymore, will I? Is there any chance you could add this one bonus to my new Ultimate Edition pre-order? Thank you!

    Hey @BamlinG-8,

    Unfortunately, it wouldn't be possible to get the rewards then, since they were only able until 22nd August.

    It would be the same as mentioned before, you would only get the rewards which are currently available at this point in time.

    Hi, I have a similar question. Is there a way to pay for 7 days early access for a secondary account on the ps4. Dont care about the other perks. I have preorderd the ultimate edition on a primary account and it is a bit excessive for me to buy the game again at full price for just 7 days. I have EA play but that only gets me 10 hours early access as I understand it.

  • If i preorder on one account, and the  download the game on another playstation, can i still play the game a week early??

  • Would i be able to delete my ea account, make a new one, amd get my pre order bonuses again on the new account, to essentially start fresh but with my pre order bonuses?

    Hey @H5RRYB5,

    This thread is already quite old, so I'm closing it now as per our rules on necro posting

    Pre-order bonuses cannot be moved to a new account as they are linked to your EA account.

    When posting on the forums, please always check the date of the last post. Thanks.
