You get the full time you still have left over. When I upgraded this account from the 21 day buddy invite to a monthly sub, I ended up with ~50 days available before the next payment.

If you activate with a GTC, you'll have ~70 days (GTC = 60 days). If you sub with a PLEX or CC, you'll have 30+(remaining trial time) days.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I've been playing for 4 years and that post confused me.

A GTC (or game time code) available from battleclininc and other websites is worth 2 plex (or 60 days) and costs slightly more than 1 plex and quite a bit less than 2.

If you can afford it then buying a GTC is the way to go.

I presume the same will apply for the 60 day trails. So if i upgrade on day one i'll have 90 days for the price of 30?

yes, they always add New_Time to Time_Remaining.

so if you have a 60d trial:
Activate it with PLEX/CC/Debit Card/Pay Pal -- you'll have 90 days (probably more like 89 and change)
activate with GTC -- you'll have 120 days (probably more like 119 and change)

Can you activate a trail acount with a GTC? I thought you had to activate it with a 30 day card and pay and extra $/€5 for activation?

If you use PLEX/GTC you don't have to pay anything extra

I am currently starting the 14 day trial. If i get a 21-day trial it adds to that? and then if i get a 60 day trial it adds to that too? so i can theoretically play 95 days without paying anything?

nope, trials cannot be done on the same account, so that account will only have 14 days free. You can however use a different email for the 60 day trial
