Battlefield 3 Premium Edition online pass

My friend bought a copy of battlefield 3 premium edition and e doesn't use it anymore so I asked if I could have it. He gave it to me and said, you're going to have to buy a new online pass at the Battlefield 3 website. So I'm here to ask if there is any way I can buy a new online pass to enter into the PSN store. I am aware that the new online pass will cost $9.99
