I'm not sure why having a sub should make any difference. If WotC would like marketing info, they can make that part of having an account - they can gather info on who is interested by the fact that your account is adding it. Financial info should only ever be asked for when necessary (IE if you're buying something). That also protects WotC because in the case of a hack etc...that's one less source of responsibility.
Ideally, the free stuff would just be added without action - we just get a message saying "You're awesome! To show our appreciation, here's a free one shot adventure, it'll be in your collection the next time you login. Enjoy!". However, I appreciate WotC probably derives value from seeing who claims what etc, so I'm not pushing too hard for that. I'd really like the "Claim" button back that just adds it to the account, though.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.

Having a sub means they should already have billing information for you without you having to re-enter it. Yes, it should only be asked when making an actual transaction involving money.
It may even be that it is not available through the EU store because the EU is much tighter on that kind of thing.
It actually requires me to SIGN IN to Paypal, not even just give the billing information, despite it being allegedly FREE.
That is not 'merely an address issue'
Edit: In case it was, I checked out their EU site. It isn't even offered there at all.
Merely was pointing out that this is the "technical bug" behind the unable to check out at all issue... I assume that the requiring payment info for a free "purchase" is the site working as intended... as dumb, unnecessary, and objectively worse of a user experience as that is.
