Merging battle.net accounts....please read GM

ok so i just recently restarted playing WoW after about a year break. I went out and bought the battle chest and WOTLK expansions, created a battle.net account and added all the keys into said battle.net account and started playing.

i got my druid up to about level 36 on this account, when the lightbulb came on in my head about your guys' recruit-a-friend program, so i went to my uncles and THOUGHT i could just link the accounts and enjoy triple EXP.

to my surprise, enable to use the RaF feature, a 10 day trial had to be sent from his account to my email address, then they were linked.

WHOA....i thought......i already bought the game and started playing, no way im paying another $100 bux to do it over again to upgrade said trial account.

Then a thought popped into my head.....why not just use the trial account, go out and buy the first copy of WoW with no expansions for $20, level the character to lvl 60, then transfer it to my original account that already has Burning Crusade and WOTLK expansions and bust my hump to level 80.

So, this is what i did......i now have the level 60 druid, and he has a couple alts that got some free levels. I really enjoyed the RaF experience, we both leveled new characters to level 60 in less than a week!.

So anyway.....i go to transfer the level 60 to the GOOD account with expansions, thinking about how awesome its gonna be to relevel from 60-80.

Herein lies the problem.

I now get a message that transfers between my battle.net accounts are not permitted for 30 days after account creation. DAMN!!!

My question is, can i take the regular WoW account and the expanded WoW account, and just merge them both into my original battle.net account......and do the transfer that way without waiting the 30 days??? its really gonna be a pain to have a toon leveled to 60 and ready to go to outlands , and i cant play him for a month, because frankly, im not going out to spend more money to buy Burning Crusade and WOTLK expansions again when i have a perfectly good account already expanded just sitting there not being used.

Any insight into this issue would be appreciated......like......dropping the battle.net account merger from the account the lvl 60 is on, then combining that game account into the battle.net account that has all the expansions, then doing the toon transfer that way..........???

Thanks and God Bless
