I asked around, the way it works on PS4 is the pre-order content is allotted to one account only, which I suppose defaults it to the main account.
@EIKERIOS This information wasn't mentioned anywhere. Look at PRE-ORDER / DELUXE EDITION REWARDS FAQ - it points to this thread and was updated with this information only after the thread was "solved". I doubt many parents would have bought the deluxe pre-order for their kids (who are using sub-accounts) had it been known in advance.
Frankly, I understand EA setting this up as consumables to avoid sharing the upgrades. Having said that, they do have the details of the main account as well as any associated accounts via ea.com and via PSN. Just hard is it to set up these consumables for the specific accounts?
Bummer. Seeing there was a thread I was hoping there was an actual solution.
Sub accounts have caused me nothing but frustration and wasted time trying to work out why nothing works!!
Absolutely sick of this. Should have set my son up with a full account.
