I have applied two beta codes, one from PC Gamer, where you also get the mount and one from one from MMO Bomb.
When I open the launcher to Patch for the Beta it gives me an account error.
I contacted Customer Support, they reset my account apparently, making me change my display name and directed me to Star Trek Online To link my accounts.
Three of my friends have all the same problem. They all redeemed PC Gamer keys, yet they are not able to patch the client and instead are getting the account error message. I had hoped this issue would be sorted out as it's already very close to the beginning of the beta

I also have two accounts that redeemed PC Gamer keys and both of those accounts could not patch the game (and both accounts received "account error" message). I then put one of those free giveaway keys for Beta Weekend 2 on each of those accounts and they could patch the game suddenly and got no more error messages etc.
For some reason the PC Gamer keys did not work on either of those two accounts.
Incidentally, neither of those accounts had a prior Cryptic account associated with them or the email address they used, so don't see how linking them would even apply (nothing to link to). They do have @handles attached to them already as well (did that a few weeks ago).
Indeed.
I redeemed another PC Gamer key and now the client started patching. This is a huge mistake by Cryptic - if some of the redeemed keys are not working then there's a huge amount of accounts that haven't been activated for the beta. This means plenty of frustration for those people.
The issue is not a Cryptic/PW issue, I log into Raiderz with the same information (my perfect world account). I Redeemed a code from PCgamer on THIS account. It got the black horse, my GF did the exact same thing, she got the white one and was able to patch.
