The problem I have is that the one that is not linked to my membership number has way more on the family tree. I would like to get that tree moved over to my account with my membership number. Any idea how to do that?
There is only one Family Tree on FamilySearch. So if you are seeing differences between the trees associated with two different accounts, then the only possible difference is in the living people in your tree and how they connect with deceased persons. Unless you have put a lot of effort into all sorts of living aunts and uncles and cousins, it shouldn't be that hard to sign into your preferred account and adjust a few living records for your parents and grandparents (perhaps great-grandparents if they are alive) so that they connect to each other and then to deceased persons the same way that your other account does. Then you'll see just as many people in that tree as you do in the other.

That's certainly a good thing to do. But that step is not going to automatically merge the living people associated with two separate FamilySearch accounts. So it's important to do the steps I mentioned above BEFORE the LDS Accounts are merged; otherwise you might no longer be able to sign in using the deleted account on FamilySearch to update the tree on the surviving account.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
