Origin sent me to the wrong site, which still accepted my code how do i get help

OK, so I purchased SWTOR, got my key, go to origin to redeem it, it links me to another EA site, it lets me redeem my code and now... nothing.

I am heartbroken. I get to buy one game a year for myself and poof it's just gone.

I try and get official EA help and it says "Get help in game" BUT I CAN"T GET IN GAME BECAUSE IT WON"T REDEEM MY CODE.

How do I get help out of this limbo land?

    Thankyou for giving me that direct email address. Everywhere I was looking seemed to imply I was going to have to call the US and pay about as much in phone charges as I had already spent on the game.

    I hope they can help. I really want to try out this game and have some real fun with it, but when I realised that Origin had linked me to the wrong place I felt like such an idiot.

    My Origin name (and in most places) is outsidefactor, but that was already taken on SWTOR, so I had to register as outside_factor.

    I tried e-mailing, but they couldn't help me over e-mail so I had to call. Call was reasonable length at 15 minutes, the assistant listened to my issue, did some brief investigation and then said it had to be investigated more and I needed to wait 24 hours. I hope that he wasn't just trying to get me off of the line and they are actually doing something about it. Benefit of the doubt for now!

    So I am now waiting for more news. Hopefully it will just get credited, but as yet I just don't know.

    Thanks again for trying to help.
