I had to contact the online customer service team, I spent five years trying to get help, and finally had got someone on there team that could help.

this does not work on my origin account when i click add friends it just comes up with a bar that search for friends nothing about linking an account

I made a new post http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Gamertag-Linking-to-EA-Account/td-p/5899581

Basically my issues with the whole thing. I'm unable to do anything online

This whole thread is just saying link to origin account.... but where do we do this.  From xbox or from pc browser... I mean I just want to report a bug. Why you guys making this so hard....

Again what are the steps of linking xbox account to EA.  Should have separated instructions for different console and PC

Open the "Origin client" and click the Friends button, then Add a Friend.   What does "Origin client" mean?

pardon my french ea, but all these *  goddamn tips and tricks * inst working. I'm seriously considering just stop using all of this *. This doesn't work please help meor do some *  to * help, this is really starting to * me off. And if your not gonna help at least fix your * website. 

I have bought Battlefield 1 recently and I am trying to play the multiplayer, but it displays an error saying, "Sorry you are not eligible to participate in this activity," and then it lists and address

Linking Your Gamertag, PSN ID, and Origin Account

The Xbox 360/Xbox One and the PlayStation 3/PlayStation 4/PlayStation Vita both use their own types of account for managing your games and online interactions; Gamertag for Xbox, and PSN ID for Playstation.

For EA games, these accounts should be linked to your Origin account. 

Note for Next Gen Consoles: Your gamertag or PSN ID carries over from Xbox 360/PS3 to Xbox One/PS4.
If you have played any EA game on the last generation of consoles, please make sure you find and use that same account when you play on next gen.

Linking your accounts:
Your Gamertag/PSN ID and Origin Account should be correctly linked when you first access an EA game online if you use the same email address for both.
We recommend that you check your Origin account to ensure your emails match. 

If the email address for your Gamertag/PSN/PSVita ID is different than the address for your Origin account, connect them using the steps below:

1. Open the Origin client and click the Friends button, then Add a Friend. If you do not have the Origin client installed, you can download Origin for both PC and Mac.
   
   
2. In the Import Friends menu, you can choose to "connect" your Xbox LIVE, PSN, and EA accounts. Simply sign in with your account details to connect.

If you have issues connecting your account, you will need to properly link them by contacting a Game Advisor.

Did you forget if your Origin/EA Account is linked to your Gamertag/PSN ID?

bar. When I go to the address it tells me 3 things, That I am not old enough (Which I am), Check your internet connection (It's fine), and to link your accounts. I am pretty sure that this is the problem, but when ever I look up how to solve this problem they are outdated and don't work. If  someone could give me an updated way to link my Xbox live gamer tag and my origin/EA Count, that would be fantastic, thanks.

👍Don't work mate

i have tried that with no luck, i dont get the option to import an account. I've tried to phone a game adviser and the call fails after 15 minutes every time.

This is pretty dated info my origin client doesn't even have a import friends function
