I think it is a trap

Same for me.

Dear collector's user #XXXXXXX,

you have just used our provided function, which converts your collector's account
to a free premium account. Your old collector's account has been deleted.

Please use the following login data to use your new premium account instead.
All your files and points have been transferred there.

Obsolete collector's account: XXXXXXX
Your new Premium Login: XXXXXXXX
Password: Use your old collector's account password

If you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or telephone.

This means you have to unlock your account before you can make the changes.

I found what RS wants. When users convert to premium, the file storage limit comes + users can extend the current premium account using points. Normally collector accounts allow to generate new accounts only( no extend option)

I don't get the message though. They are giving away free premiums to people with collectors accounts? what for

Its another one of their money-making strategies. Think about it, at least 20-30% of those who get the free premium will renew their account when their premium expires... Thus rapidshare get more monies.
