As far as I've read, the 30 days only start ticking once you put in the main game registration code and complete the process with a subscription selection. For me, I'm hanging in a limbo right now: I've actually got my physical copy (Standard Edition preorder), but the clock doesn't start until I get my gametime card and complete the game registration code and Explorer's Pack code redemption.
It makes sense -- all the regular retail copies include 30 days of free gameplay. So the 30 days start as soon as you make your copy official with a subscription.
