Account Issue - Adding Time

I received an account from a friend of mine, and after merging it into a battlenet account, it says that I need to 'upgrade' from a trial account. What I am failing to understand is how an account with a level 80, thousands of gold, etc can be considered a trial account? The account has both BC and WOTLK associated with it, why is it making me buy them again to play? I just want to put this time card on the account.

Well for starters, you cannot play on an account that wasn't originally yours.

Your friend cannot gift, trade, sell - or otherwise allow you access. Accounts are non-transferrable.

That is the question at hand, as that is not allowed.
