Before accepting the one-way prompt
- Confirm the FC 25 points and intended FC 26 platform family while signed into the intended EA account.
- Log into FC 26 on console or PC; EA says the transfer option appears the first time you log into any mode.
- Read the exact confirmation before proceeding. EA says the transfer is permanent and cannot move back to FC 25.
- If using EA Play without buying FC 26, note EA's warning that transferred points will not return to FC 25.
- If the prompt is missing or the balance seems wrong, stop and contact EA; the Web/Companion app cannot initiate or reverse the move.

What the preflight cannot establish
Matching a platform family does not prove a balance is transferable or that the correct EA account is signed in. EA support must resolve account, purchase or missing-points cases; this utility cannot inspect or change a balance.

- I compared both title years and platform families.
- I will start the transfer in FC 26 on console or PC, not Web/Companion.
- I understand the move cannot be reversed to FC 25.
- I checked the EA Play exception before choosing.
