Unfortunately, Watchfull, I believe Bullchanon is correct. I see two accounts that are currently linked to this one but neither has been upgraded to a full account. This normally means that the person upgraded a different account that was not started with the Recruit a Friend invitation.
Your friend can contact our Billing and Account Services department though and they should be able to apply the link to the appropriate account thus giving you the in-game benefits and later qualify for the mount and game time.
You can call 1 (800) 592 5499 (1-800-59-BLIZZARD) 7AM-8PM (PST/PDT) for live representation.
Australian users should please call 1-800-041-378 if the standard 800 line does not work.
Once linked, qualification for your Recruit a Friend subscription are based off of what is processed. If your friend added a 6 month subscription that payment won't process until after all time on the account runs out. This means that 10 days that comes with a trial account plus the 30 days that is provided when you start a new account. :)
If you use a Game Card, that time is applied to the account immediately and you'll qualify for the subscription benefits right away.
