According to this you can't until the demo starts.
Your codes will become available when the demo goes live.

It'll be available here: https://www.ea.com/games/anthem/anthem-demos/refer-a-friend
Oh nice, thanks!
I wanted to play as an Interceptor but I'd rather spend that extra $20 on some other cosmetics in the game so the standard will do
Try refreshing the page if you already have VIP access. Some people are saying they had to refresh it 10 times before it showed up.
I haven't followed any demo details but if you have EA Access on Xbox you can play this weekend, right?
Thanks, signed in/out and well past 10 times but I'll keep trying, haha.
How big is the demo? Hope I'll be able to play tonight.
How do I preload on ps4? I got a ps4 code but i have to redeem it on origin? I dont understand
Hmm, just went to the refer a friend page on EA website and got the above. I can see that the account is linked to my PSN account which was used to preorder so, is this normal?
I don't see anything on Origin. Refreshed a bunch, even searched for Anthem Demo and nothing. Whereabouts on Origin is it?
On origin launcher go to anthem page and click "try now".
So I go to the anthem page and I get two options, "view in library" and "watch trailer". I click on view in library and it just tells me the preload date and the play date.
Weird, for me it worked just like I said. Maybe it's hidding somewhere in your library or something.
Just download the demo from the PSN store. Anyone can preload the demo, you just have to have VIP access / code to actually play it.
I couldn't get it from origin launcher either. Go here https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/anthem/anthem click try it now. It'll add it to your origin library.
The best video is the one they released last week which gives a good overview of what your friend should expect. A part 2 should be coming out shortly as well!
This is Anthem: Part 1
put origin in R&D mode brotha.....I max out my gigabit speed that way, otherwise i was only getting 30% download
1.Make a file on DESKTOP called EACore.ini
2. Edit file in notepad and put lines :
EnvironmentName=production
CdnOverride=akamai
3. Save
4. Open origin and accept changes
You are now in R&D mode and your download speed should be fast again
If you want to remove R&D mode every time you open Origin go to your Origin folder , mine is
D:\Games\Origin\
and delete EACore.ini
Now just restart Origin
Got a vip access link from a forum friend, downloaded the ps4 demo and the pc demo, want to compare the pro vs my gtx1080 but i will play both on controller.
friday cant come soon enough, ive talked so much sh!t about this game but the latest videos had a bit of an impact with me.

Thanks!
Sadly this doesn`t work for me, still at 10-15% speed.
EDIT:
DL-speed is fine now. Only that BF5-update took forever.

So did we get confirmation that your VIP Access is simply tied to your EA account and not to a specific platform? I know the codes are multiplatform - but if I wanted to try it on PC and my Xbox during this weekend I can play on both right? I'm not locked into only one platform?
Ping TheWorthyEdge and SweetNicole they'll be able to get a new discord link up if the old one is expired for some reason.
I just bought the game yesterday on the Xbox market place and not seeing how if I have access to the vip demo yet. Am I missing something?

Agreed. I feel sort of hung out to dry with no official guidance on how to get my codes. So much conflicting information and confusion out there.
Demo is available for everyone on PSN.
The code you get with purchase should have instructions on receipt. Going to EA to redeem the code and it registers you as a VIP. You don't use the code on PSN.
Then you'll be given a link when you go to the refer a friend page. You copy and paste the link given to you and give it to friends so they can get access on EA's website. It doesn't look like you give anyone codes.
You'll have to have your PSN account linked.

Didn't they put out a Tweet confirming that a code FAQ is on the way? Little bit late on that front, already caused a lot of confusion but it'd be nice if they got that out soon.
I figured it out, if you redeemed yourself, you can go here :
https://www.ea.com/games/anthem/anthem-demos/refer-a-friend
There you get a link, that can be redeemed 3 times, for 3 of your friends

Between the refer a friend not exactly working smoothly and having to backdoor the demo download, things are going well!
