How to add an F2P account to an existing P2P bnet?

https://us.battle.net/account/management/

On that page (Summary) to the right under YOUR GAME ACCOUNTS there should be an option "+ Play for free" under the WoW tab.

If it isn't there, I'm confused. ^^
 
Use an old 10 day free trial code from old expansion box sets and game cards, add the number in the add client and you got a new f2p acc linked.
 
I think it's 2 now. I tried to do this through battle.net maybe 4 months ago and it would only let me make 1 linked starter.

done again less then 1,5 month ago. you need send new inv in order to add more. one inv - one claim.

If you follow Yde's instructions here, you should have on your log in screen, options for your licensed WoW IDs and WoW1 under your Battle.net Account Name. These are your linked Subbed/trial accounts. WoW1 is your Trial account.
You are not required to have two separate folders on your computer for WoW.

Really? That sucks. I have a US, EU, Korean, and Chinese on my main F2P pure account. And of the several P2P accounts I've had for years, I've got quite a few license on them, mostly from RAF.
 
If I go to my account management page it refuses to show me a "+Play for Free" button to add a US Starter account to my US battle.net, but it does show a button to add an EU starter.

If the account summary web page has limited you to just one trial on your bnet account (or blocked adding one at all), then it might be possible to get around the block the same way. While on that page, enter the following into the web browser's address bar (not search bar):

Code:
https://us.battle.net/account/management/add-game-trial.html?gameRegion=US&type=WOWT
 
So just to be clear, you say I do "Recruit a Friend" and send the invite to the email address I'm already logged into? Do I need to be active for Recruit a Fried? Looks like it...

email address you send it to ingame doesnt metta. when you open email that you send yorself u get inv link. press it and it redirects you to battle net. log with acc u want to have that trial acc on.

Connecting already existing accs in to one is possible only if they share same owner name. can be done via gm ticket.
 
I would like to have 2 trial accounts tied to my main one so they can all share gear and be played at the same time. The accounts are existing, could I use Account Merge for that? It it can't be done with existing account new trials would be fine.

I've managed to do that almost 1 year ago by GM livechat. Needed about 10 tries and talks with different GM's to actually get a nicer one that did the job for me.

Its all about finding the GM who actually gives a shit. i've managed to change my battle tag by talking to a nice gm where im not suppose to get more then 1 battle.tag name change.
Tho I somewhat belive refunding legacy of the void the same time I asked had a big part in it.

Presuming you have a paid account that is up to date, you can always call customer support. ROFL.... You want it when ?!!!!!
I am sure somewhere on their support page there is a live chat feature.
