How do I know my buddy has her Buddy Gold Account? It didn't say it went to her and she's not online yet?

you might not? If it activates automatically you can see that the tiny icon to the left of her username is gold. If she needs to act on it, this will not show yet. It is possible that you can file a Ticket in Help and a UA will confirm success, but it takes a short while for them to answer and depending on how often she shows up to playm, she may login before they would be able to answer. If she does, you could just ask her.

Ok thank you

You are welcome

Problem solved :)
