When will I receive Diablo III?
Annual Pass subscribers will see their copy of Diablo III on their Battle.net Account Management page immediately. They will be able to pre-download the game during the presale period leading up to the game's launch, but it will not be playable until Diablo III's official launch date.

What if I purchase the Diablo III Collector's Edition?
If you choose to add your Collector's Edition license key to the Battle.net account associated with your World of Warcraft Annual Pass promotion, you will receive all of the benefits of the Collector's Edition. Additionally, you will receive four months of World of Warcraft game time, which will count towards your 12 month subscription commitment for the Annual Pass.
After you purchase the Diablo III Collector's Edition, add the product key to the Battle.net account that contains a World of Warcraft account that is signed up for the Annual Pass. That World of Warcraft account will then receive the next four months of game time free. For example, if you already have a month of game time on the associated World of Warcraft account when you add your Diablo III Collector's Edition product key, it will be five months until your next subscription payment is due.

We’re inviting Annual Pass holders in waves over the course of the beta test, and will be ramping up the number of invites we send as quickly as possible. We’ll be inviting Annual Pass holders based on several factors, including how long your World of Warcraft account has been active and when you signed up for the Annual Pass. Keep an eye on your Battle.net account and email for your invite to join the beta test. Annual Pass holders do not need to complete the opt-in process or run the System Check tool.
Blizzard Customer Support cannot grant beta access and cannot provide information regarding beta invitations.

How many players do you plan to invite to the beta test?
Our primary focus will be ensuring that all of the players who signed up for the Annual Pass are invited over the course of the beta test. The number of additional players we invite will be based on our testing needs. If during the course of testing we determine we need more players to participate, we’ll invite more.
