Seriously SE ? (dual rider chocobo)

Ok, so that is a different question.
The simplest way to say it is one of your accounts must be active (bought time). Or else there is no referral in the first place.

Ok, here's another question, because maybe I'm asking it all wrong. I do have the option to refer a friend right now on my account page, even though I'm on my free 30 days included time. If I refer a friend now, will I eventually get my referral rewards once my friend and I have paid for enough game time? I understand I wont get the rewards now, because I'm on free time...

My point is is that I don't care when I get the rewards, as long as I get them eventually... I just want to be able to refer my friends NOW because I want to play with them. I'm sure SE would rather me refer them now, right?

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Ok, that part doesn't match up with how I understood it. I thought during the initial 30 days you get with purchase of the game, you can't refer anybody else. Somebody else could refer you, and you could enter their referral code, but wouldn't be able to generate one yet. I have both an active account that has paid subscription time, and an inactive account that only had the 30 days that came with purchase of the game. The one has a "Recruit a Friend" button in the Mog Station, and the other an "Enter Recruitment Code" button, but neither has both available. I thought that was because of the one having paid time and the other not, but maybe being inactive impacts it as well.

If you already have the "Recruit a Friend" button in the Mog Station, and so can generate a recruitment code, then it should work. But in any case, you could start playing with them now even if you refer them a bit later. You have until they finish their own 30-days of included time to refer them. They just need to put in your referral code before the first time they pay an additional subscription fee.
