Can you make a Call of Duty Elite clan for free but then to get a premium member to make the clan elite?

Call of Duty ELITE has two different memberships. If you get the free version you will get the basic run-in-the-mill stat tracking service and thats all. If you get the Premium CoD ELITE membership, you can make clans, change your custom classes from your computer and even get exclusive in-game titles and emblems. If you got the Hardened Edition of MW3, you get the ELITE membership free of charge although the HE of the game costs $100. If you buy the regular edition of the game and you want ELITE Premium member, it will cost you $50.
