as soon as you start the trial.

More importantly is when it ends, and to check that go to the veteran account (the one you referred the others from) management on the WoW site. If you look under the Recruit A Friend link, it will tell you how many you have referred and when the RAF time expires, as well as the status of the accounts (trial, upgrades, etc) for each of the referred accounts. Cool thing is when you upgrade them, they still give you the 10 days free trial, plus the 30 days free game time that comes with the initial purchase of the game.
