Hey there! I was sent a referral from a guild-mate to get some sort of "Friends Bundle" however when I click it I receive this error:
"This account is currently not eligible for the Friends of SWTOR Referral Program, Please visit the Referral page at www.swtor.com/info/friends for eligibility requirements."
Not sure what I should do or how this works. Any help would be great!
have you been a sub within the last 90 days or made any purchases on the cartel market?
Not sure, definitely not a subscriber. I may have purchased something from the cartel market, not sure.
I believe the referral only works if your account status is either F2P or you have been unsubbed for more than 90 days. If you have made a purchase and are preferred status then the link will give that error.
You have to use the link at the creation of the account or 90 days or more since you were last subbed.
Sadly it's not possible to use one after the account was created without subbing for a month and waiting 120 days.
Referring someone absolutely works while being subbed.
You get the friends bundle, free server transfer and 7 days added to your sub as well.
It will work if you are currently subbed, you just can't use another referral link until after you have been unsubbed for 90 days.
Did you maybe use refer a friend when you first started that acocunt (although there seems to be a timeout on that, or was, because I did the old refer a friend when I started the game, when you had to enter their email to get it, and was able to click someone else's referral link this year, but I started in August 2012, and have been continuously subbed since then).
Otherwise, it seems the system may think you have already used someone's link.

Yep. I have been subbed since launch but just recently used a guild mate's code to give him the Kurtob speeder and get the server transfer for me. 🙂 Transferred a character from Harbinger to Ebon Hawk to both clear a slot on Harbinger and to copy my legacy progress over to Ebon Hawk haha. Now i just wish you could use the friends bundle when you are subbed, but it won't let you haha. Only thing you can use is the inventory module. Maybe someday I'll be unsubbed for a day or two and can use them haha
this is FOR only new players who have yet to make account so it wont work for u
