not necassarily true, i joined elite, then joined the 30 clan, i then had my wife signed up for elite, and was in a different clan, i told her to sign up with the 30, she did and all of a sudden she was able to give 500 founder xp. so i talked to repo and i left and he reinvited and i was able to give founder xp. not sure how long ago you signed up for premium but it took about a month for it to show up.
