Collector's Edition from 1.0, Collector's Edition for ARR, and the first "free" month

Hello, I've run into a bit of confusion. I pre-ordered A Realm Reborn, the boxed Collector's Edition from Square Enix's shop, despite having been informed that previous owners of the Collector's Edition from 1.0 would benefit from the in-game items. I did this because I wanted all the goodies that came with the new version :D.

Anyways, my issue is this: When I look at my service accounts, I have two FFXIV services. The first was from the original FFXIV, obviously. I think the second is also from before, but I don't understand why I'd had a second service account. To get to the point: I registered my pre-order code with the second service account (though it was already flagged as a CE and had all the items listed on it), and then I noticed that I'm only credited with 15 days of "free" playtime (now only 13, as I registered the pre-order code about 48 hours ago).

Now, I just spent $70.00 on this edition of the game....am I to understand that, despite having paid for the game again, even though I wasn't required to, I'm STILL not going to get a full month of playtime? Am I going to have to create yet another service account to benefit from the first 30 days that are supposed to be credited to my account, giving up the items I was given for pre-ordering and using the Early Access code?

(sorry for the double post, the forum's character limit made me do it)

The first month for Legacy players (those with 1.0 characters) doesn't start for two weeks, as a special gift to those who played the original game. That timer will count down to 0, and then your 30 days will start up.

So I won't have to make a new service account for that to kick in? The 15 days is a bonus from having played the previous game?

....does that count if I hadn't played the previous game long enough to pay for a month?

Well, it seems they are going to charge me at the end of the 15 days. "Next Estimated Date of Billing: Sep. 10, 2013" "Next Estimated Service Fees: USD 14.99"
