Pre-Release Pack w/Key - Bad Key That Is

I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else has come across this. There's quite a thread over on GWONLINE (and referenced in the dev forum) about GW Nightfall Pre-Release Bonus Packs not having keys in them, but I came across something else. I picked up the pack at my local CompUSA. Inside was the cd, quick reference guide, nightfall storybook, and nightfall access key booklet.

The booklet had two keys, one for the nightfall bonus key and the other for the guild wars "play now" key (read: trial). I entered the Guild Wars Nightfall Bonus Key and got this:

You cannot add this Access Key to this Guild Wars account because you will already have the rights this key provides. Please click the "Cancel" button and create a new Guild Wars account. It then displays the key I entered, which I will not repeat here :-)

I haven't entered a bonus key prior to this, only the PC Gamer mini-pet key, which it took and showed as PC Gamer: Grey Giant Mission, which I assume is correct. Well, eventually I added the key anyway to see if it was a mistake at that screen. Nothing changed on my Manage Keys'View Content Rights screen, though. At least the key is in there if they haven't activated it yet, though I had figured it would say something there (it actually let me click Add Key even though it said I couldn't).

Has anyone else had this problem? Did they enter two trial keys in the booklet by mistake instead of a trial and bonus key?

EDIT: I contacted NCSoft, but at least we can get an idea if this is a common problem or unique...

plz read carefully trough the Nightfall section, it is in there.

i herd it comes with a special nightfall video ... was wondering if it was the CG intro to nightfall.... ive been waiting on that for ages

If we can get a confirmation from Gaile somewhere that the key won't show up in the Manage Keys screen and that we should just press Add Key even though it says to hit cancel then I think that should be sticky'ed. I did come across another one later where someone said just that (it won't show up), but there's nothing official about the key. Even if you don't get it unless you get Nightfall, you would think it would show up there saying such in the Manage Keys window.
