My secondary acccount which i used to play NFS World, and after the game ended i logged only once to redeem BF3 for free, and never activated the 2fa just got a month of origin acess.
My main account which have the 2fa since launch got nothing yet. :/
I will use this to pre-load some games, since my internet is trash.

I didn't want 'access'. Should at least let people choose when to start the month.
Not a single game I am interested in. I don't have BF1 or BFV but I really don't care about BF after they messed around with it so much. BF1 was 'ok' for a stupid, arcade shooter.

Mine activated without my permission. Always a worry when that happens. No signs of account activity though, so EA being either nice buggers for christmas, or shady buggers hoping people get hooked.

They don't need your permission. You are given a permission by them to use the account.

I don't think you understand what i mean...
They signed me up for a free month - that's fine - i just dont want to find next month they charge me for an access sub.
Just like how HB in the past have unpaused people's subs to the monthly, and they got charged...

do not worry, the subscription activated by the key is a one-time subscription(it is not automatically renewed)

Got it today, too. Sucks because now I already bought into the Xbox Game Pass deals and have to sacrifice time from either one of the services to use the other. Thanks EA, for making me wait an entire month and finally sending just a few days too late.

Same here except I subscribed to ESO+. Still worth it though, as Origin Access is free for this month.

Finally got it too! Month and 4 days late, but still good. Started installing games and immediately ran out of space on my ssd :P

And mine free month just ended :(
I've spend about 30h in frostpunk (until got bored) and then beaten dead space 3. Also tried project highrise for hour and then deleted it and removed from my wishlist on steam xD
Have to admit that it's nice way of promoting their service. Seriously - If I had less games on steam that are waiting for me to play them - I would probably bought one more month to play Vampyr or Mirrors edge or other games.

Oh so that's what that was! Totally forgot about this deal--got the email and thought I got hacked or something. Wonder if I'll actually get around to using it before my month is up.

"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)
What you get with EA Origin Premiere ($14.99 per month or $99.99 per year)
So, Basic has what matters, which is all the games. Here's the full list.
