Need help with RaF Urgent!!

I have recently recruited a friend of mines to wow and we did the whole recruit a friend process( sent him an email with the code ect.) when he creates an account there is an account that says WoW1. so then i added the game key and when i went back to the summary page i had WoW1 and WoW 2 ... it seemed weird so i checked back on the veteran account to see if it showed any difference on the recruit a friend page. and it didnt say anything. it just said y friends name. so i assumed that any of the WoW's account would work for recruit a friend since i hadnt messed with the WoW2. when i upgrade to BC and add a 2 months card me and my friend log in and we dont have any of the bonuses that we are suppose to have. whats the deal? is there any way that i can somehow transfer the benefits to WoW1 since i think that WoW2 has them? i dont want to spend another $70 dollars
