Remember: For the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the 10-day trial key in your invitation email. In addition, accounts created or referred prior to 08/05/08 will be ineligible.
This promotion is valid only for those accounts referred and created after 08/05/08 and via an Authentication Key sent through a Recruit-a-Friend invitation email. It may not be used to revive an inactive account or be applied to accounts using a Scroll of Resurrection.
Again, in order for your veteran account to be eligible for this mount, it must be linked with a recruit account. Friends and family members who have created an account prior to 08/05/2008 will not qualify for this promotion and will not be linked with your account.
