Re: battlefield 3 premium code problem...please help

Is that on Console or PC?

For consoles, please check your account's purchase history once you've redeemed the code. You should be able to find Battlefield 3 Premium in that list, it's a small file (~100kb) that needs to be downloaded to your console. The next time you start Battlefield 3 it should recognize your Premium status. Then open the in-game store and all DLCs should be available for download for free.

For PC, Premium doesn't show up as a seperate game in your games library, instead all DLCs are listed at the game details page for Battlefield 3. You can access this page by right-clicking Battlefield 3 -> Show Game Details.

Also, please note that Premium does not include the base game which is required to access all the Premium content.

OP in addition to what Dennis said after you purchase Premium and redeem both the online pass and the Premium code and your Premium file downloads to your console make sure that you restart BF3 so the game initializes with the Premium file present. When you get to the main title screen you will receive a pop up stating you are now premium and you will have a Premium background. Next you will have to download the DLC expansions covered by Premium (the file just gives you access to download them but doesn't download them for you) via the Premium tab of the BF3 in game store (not via the Xbox Live Marketplace or it will charge you money again)then close BF3. After all 5 expansions completely download (this could take a while since each expansion is about 2 GB) start BF3. At the main menu you will receive a series of pop ups stating that you now have each expansion. Now from the main menu go to multiplayer, open server browser and then open the server browser filter by clicking R3 and check all new maps and game modes or you won't find any games on the new expansions.
