I did not transfer stats. It was my understanding that transfering of stats requires the DL version of the game. I bought a new disc. Thus I never got the prompt screen asking me whether I wanted to transfer stats or not. That is not the issue however.
The issue is that Battlelog says that I have premium tied to my account. But once in game (PS4, BF4 disc) I don't have access to premium at all. If I go to PlayStation Store, I am given the option to buy premium again. I do not want to buy it again. I want it activated on my PS4 version of the game, just as it was on my PS3 version of the game.
