What happened to the "7 days free" promotion in World of Warcraft?

Question

Three days ago, I logged into my expired WoW account to see that they were offering me seven free days. Since I was just about to go on a three-day camping trip, I figured I'd claim those days after I returned, but when I logged in today, the offer was gone. What happened to that promotion? The original offer didn't mention a time limit. Did it just move somewhere else, or did it expire?

Answer

Those offers typically have an expiration date, though it may be in small print.

There are a couple possibilities:

  1. Blizzard offered 7 free days back in November in preparation for the Cataclysm release. Not sure why it'd appear this late on your account, but it could just have been an error.
  2. I vaguely recall receiving a couple "come back to us" kind of offers on my second (now expired :)) account. It's possible that you received one of those and it also expired.

To be certain, I'd contact Blizzard's support and see what they say.
