CE serial code works ok, bonus codes not working (invalid)

Hi all,
i'm from italy and i've bought (pre-order) the physical copy of the CE from a local online shop.

I've successfully activated the CE from mogstation with the serial that i've found in the box.
The online shop also gave me TWO bonus codes at the time of the order, the codes are five groups of character like this: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

if i insert this codes in mogstation under the "bonus code" option it says "code is invalid".

i'm supposed to insert this codes in another box/place? :confused:

I went to find my order and got an Unlock code and serial number under my CE. When i went to put in the unlock code on http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com it gave me a RAAE-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx code when i clicked next it said "The code's region is inapplicable."

Edit: I only have 1 username an password i've been using the whole time.

same with me, have been trying every kinda option so far

Typing in random codes without actually knowing what they're for is probably not a good idea.

Why are you putting it there, that;s for preorders. Use the mogstation.

the mogstation does not have any options to put it there.

indeed

but if i put these codes in modstation under the option "bonus code" it says that code are invalid... so i can't really understand what i'm supposed to do with these two bonus code that the shop gave to me...

I been confused. I also got the Physical CE but there are 2 code in there. 1 is 6-3-6-3 another is 4-4-4-4-4. I'm pretty sure that 6-3-6-3 should be the Early Access code...maybe and 4-4-4-4-4 should be the Subscription code.
Funny things is that 6-3-6-3 code paper said go to the http://member.eu.square-enix.com but it send me to Final Fantasy 7 webpage. LOL

the 4-4-4-4-4 code is the CE code that register your game and give you the CE bonus items!

the other code i think is a code to "register the product" or something similar, and should not give you anything special.

ok so it is clear now that 6-3-6-3 is Early Access code and 4-4-4-4-4 is Subscription with CE items. :)

the mog station only shows my jp server, not the character on balmung. only buttons i can press are add ps3/pc servers or cancel.

Yeah, sorry. I have no idea what those bonus codes are for, if even anything. I got a random code labeled unlock code as well and I have no idea what it does.

Well the add ps3/pc service is the button you want when trying to use a registration code. So there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Other than the character thing, which everyone has now.

If you are a 1.0 player putting in a new windows keys is not going to work.

Yeah, that's how it's supposed to work. That's what I did and everything seems alright.

Click on the mogstation logo on the top and use the flame icon with the little + on it to register instead. It should be on the bottom.

So i am a 1.0 player and didnt have the CE of that and pre ordered the CE how am i supposed to register it since i put int he code and says that it is invalid.... can anyone help me out here?

You don't. They aren't allowing you to put in another pc code on top of the 1,0 account, you needed to use the upgrade feature.

It was mentioned in the link I posted. So it's not like they never told us. But I do agree this is kind bull and shoulda been easy to find. Try to get it refunded, if you explain to them what happened i;m sure they will give your money back.
