Ways to get a code for Open Beta Early Access

Pre-order during the beta weekend, you can get the code instantly and play right away, just in case you ever regret it at the last minute. It is also possible to place a pre-order, receive the code and then try to get your purchase amount back afterwards on the platform you went through, but the result of the process can be quite variable. Blizzard has already declined some refunds, so here it is not negligible risks that you will not get your money back.
