"You'll need to turn it on before the end of October. The free month will begin on or about November 1 (it might take a few days for the wheels to start turning) as long as you've got 2FA enabled on Origin before the end of October. If you're already an Origin Access Basic subscriber, you won't be billed for November, and if you're an Access Premier subscriber you'll get a free month of that instead. And if you've already got 2FA enabled? Free month for you too."

Pretty great stuff. A Way Out, Anthem, bunch of Need For Speed games, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Vampyr are just a few of the good titles in there. For people wondering, here are the differences between Access Basic and Premiere:

What you get with EA Origin Basic ($3.99 per month or $24.99 per year)

  • the chance to try out EA’s new games for up to ten hours, starting five days before release, with Play First Trials
  • access to The Vault, a library of games that grows in time.
  • the 10% discount in the Origin Store on full games, pre-orders, expansions, FIFA points

What you get with EA Origin Premiere ($14.99 per month or $99.99 per year)

  • full, unlimited access to EA’s games, starting five days before they release. Play the full game starting five days before launch without purchasing it separately, until you cancel your Premier membership.
  • access to The Vault, a library of games that grows in time.
  • the same 10% discount in the Origin Store on full games, pre-orders, expansions, FIFA points

So, Basic has what matters, which is all the games. Here's the full list.

Well at least this cant be as bad as the experience i had with uplay+ i signed up day one and couldnt get it activated no matter how many times i talked to support. That experience left a sour taste in my mouth and in the end they still kept sending me emails to try and sign up after it went full price hoping i would be dumb enough to just spend money on their service after the ordeal.

If only you could read, you would notice that "If you don’t get your free* month right away, please wait a few days". EA's definition of "few days" is something similar to Valve time tho.

easy there.
EA says quote "If you don’t get your free month right away, please wait a few days." - technically speaking "a few" means "a small number of", but "small" is a very relative term. Compared to eternity it might very well be 7 days, or 20... or 9000 :)
If you feel like you've been cheated by EA you can defend your right to a free month of Origin Access in court.

Funny thing, I also can't play the free Battlefield weekends because I already played 10 hours of BF V trial in the past.

Now I was hoping for the free Origin Access month. But so far nothing.

Per an EA rep in the Origin subreddit, they are currently investigating why people haven't got their free month yet.

Click on "EA Account and Billing" in the Origin menu within the app. It has a tab for Origin Access which indicates whether or not it's active.

I'm guessing that tab doesn't show if you haven't had a subscription.

Yeah, I don't have that tab but your link works and it displays "Your subscription expired" so that's the easiest way to check it right now. Thanks!

Has anyone actually got the free month? If it didn't activate for ANYONE in the whole world, why did they only start investigating it 16 hours ago, according to the subreddit mentioned above? It's baffling how unprofessional some of these IT tech companies are, when stuff like that is the central part of their whole job. The UPlay experience (as mentioned by Xitau above, and other examples) and my own Microsoft Xbox Live experience (their shop system, the convoluted mix with the Windows Store, rubbish translations and thus involuntary misinformation for non-english users...) are other examples. Incompetence like that really pushes my buttons...
