They may be able to play all through till early access dates but there are limitations to their free trial anyway.

* Players can play for free for up to 14 days from account creation to a maximum level of twenty. Free trial players will have various limitations on available in-game activities."

Early access is a mini bonus for existing account holders with characters that have already completed content up till patch 2.55 so this whole campaign is intended for this pool of players. For anyone else with existing accounts with characters but mistakenly bought the bundle and just wanted to play the game now.. then that is just unfortunate. Yes you can say that SE could just easily let the bundle purchasers receive early access codes as well but in their perspective that is making no sense since it is intended for new players with brand new account. All i can say is be more careful before purchasing and read the fine prints properly next time.
