Okay, so, there are two websites.
One is the Nationally-affiliated Square website for your country. Â Such as, for me, as a US Citizen, there is: http://na.square-enix.com/
One is the "clearinghouse" website that actually controls your Beta access, your game access, and is where you will be actually paying for FFXIV access. Â It is:Â https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/
The pre-order website (http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ is the US site) is actually running through your nationally-affiliated website. Â So whatever account you have at your national site is the one you use there.
When you enter your code in the preorder site, it is supposed to respond with another code that you can then take to the clearinghouse website (the place that actually controls your account access and subscriptions) and enter it to get early access.
Currently the pre-order website isn't functioning, and the clearinghouse website won't let you input the code even if you do get it (their registration isn't yet activated).  And yes, this is really confusing and dumb, imo.
