Collector's Edition registration code (EU)

Hello. I ordered a GW2 CE from Game UK, to give a friend for his birthday, next month. I received the box and the pre-order code (described as “1-day early access”) but no other code since then.

Will that code work when my friend installs the game next month? Arena Net’s posts suggest that it won’t, and that Game UK should have sent me another code, but they didn’t, and haven’t replied to any of my e-mails.

Naturally, I didn’t register the code, since the game is a gift (so I can’t say for sure if it works or not). I just want to make sure that when my friend opens the box, the correct code is inside it, and not some “expired” code.

Can someone from Arena Net check (via PM or e-mail) if that registration code is valid ? I’ve contacted support but so far no reply.

If there’s a final code inside the box, why is Arena Net saying that people who pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition “must go back to the retailer to get the final code” ?

According to Arena Net’s post, only pre-purchasers of the CE got a definitive code (but there was no pre-purchase option for the CE from this retailer, only pre-order).

Please read this detailed post to understand better.
