The code on the founder card, is for proof that you have the hardened edition of mw3, which proves you have elite premium and founder status. The founder card is issued, incase elite is getting hacked or if they lose all of thier data on thier servers, so elite has no way to prove you had elite premium/hardened edition, without the founder card code.

Fell free to ask the customer service here:

It's free by the way.
I was going to live chat but would be waiting for 36 minutes, so I'll try later.
I don't want to argue, if thats what you say then okay, but from what I've seen across multiple forums, ebay, and even trades here, people seem to have no problem selling their founder code which comes with the hardened edition.
I don't think that the code on the founder book is for elite premium and founder, it says that nowhere and when you redeem it on PSN (and XBL I'm guessing) it simply is a code to gain a one year subscription to elite. Everyone who did that before the 13th originally was to gain founder status, as outlined by previous information. This deadline was extended to the 13th this month to compensate for the server issues that Elite had.
Other people who have contacted customer service have confirmed that the code is for people who buy the hardened edition at a later date, say christmas, and still be able to gain founder status which was meant to come with it. That is also what I understand. Due to this it is possible to give the code to a friend, or sell it, for them to gain founder status.
As I said in the other thread, I have found absolutely nowhere else which says the same as you, and although I don't care if I'm wrong (was just making a quick buck to buy some more double exp without wasting too much of my own money on a virtual item), I just want to get to the bottom of this.
On the official COD forums many people seem to confirm the code on the card is simply to gain founder after the cutoff date, a thread I found such as this one:

I don't want to get into an argument, I just want to get to the bottom of this. If you seem to have a major problem with selling a code here, there seem to be many other forums which have absolutely no arguments about it, I always choose NGU first because the community is generally better and more trustworthy than a majority of other forums.
