Check the recipient before sharing a code #
A later redemption does not start a fresh week of access. Blizzard gives a fixed November 11 end date. Choose the recipient’s intended account before redeeming: Support says it cannot fix a code claimed on the wrong account.
- The code is redeemable on one WoW account. It cannot be redeemed on an account that purchased a Forever upgrade.
- Access is limited to Forever during November 4–11. A code is not game time and does not unlock other WoW versions.
- Skyborne and its starting-zone quests are excluded.
- Codes must be redeemed by November 11; later redemption returns an error.

How many codes are included? #
Gift orders are excluded. Refunding or charging back the qualifying order deactivates its codes. These totals describe eligible digital purchases, not a reason to buy another edition.
The physical Collector’s Edition has separate rules: Blizzard Support lists three codes from Blizzard Gear Store purchases, supplied by Legends to the purchase email. It excludes local-retailer Collector’s Editions in Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Consult the support article before relying on physical-edition eligibility.

| Digital purchase | Total codes |

| Skyborne Heroic Pack | 1 |
| Skyborne Epic Pack | 3 |
| Warcraft Forever Collection | 3 |
| Heroic → Epic / Collection upgrade | 2 additional; 3 total |
| Epic → Collection upgrade | 0 additional |

Receive and redeem the code #
- The buyer checks the registered Battle.net email beginning October 20. Digital purchases send one email per code; eligible purchases after October 20 receive them shortly after purchase.
- The buyer shares an unused code with an eligible friend through their own chosen channel.
- The friend signs in to the intended Battle.net account and chooses the intended WoW account before redemption.
- Redeem through Battle.net or the Battle.net app by November 11. Blizzard’s support article links the official account page.
- Plan around the fixed November 4–11 access window. Continuing afterward requires the normal subscription or game-time access.

If a code is missing or fails #
Do not buy a second pack just to troubleshoot a missing email. Follow the support article’s order and email checks first. An active WoW subscription already grants base Forever access at launch.
Scroll sideways to compare every column.
| Problem | Check or documented limit |
|---|---|
| No email before October 20 | Digital delivery has not started. |
| Missing after delivery begins | Check registered email, junk/spam and a Complete order in Transaction History. Failed and gift orders do not qualify. |
| Code will not redeem | Check expiry, prior redemption, the intended WoW account and whether that account purchased an upgrade. |
| Access stopped | Access ends November 11; a refunded or charged-back qualifying purchase also deactivates codes. |
| Lost, used elsewhere or wrong account | Support says it cannot replace misplaced/already redeemed codes or assist with codes claimed on the wrong account. |
