Q u o t e:
Well either way it said he paid for 1 month a long time ago so I still should have my mount
That's not exactly how it works, actually.
If you want your mount immediately, then the best way to do that is to activate the account with a Pre-Paid Game Card. Here's an article that details how this works:

So, at what point will I be able to redeem a X-53 Touring Rocket, specifically?
You—and all other veteran players—will be able to redeem this item once a recruit account is charged for 60 days of game time.
Note: Payments provided by Credit Card, PayPal, or Payment One will not process until both the recruit account's trial time and 30-day credit expire. That is, should your friend or family member pay for a subscription via one of the methods listed, it will be approximately 30 to 40 days before your account qualifies for a X-53 Touring Rocket.
Q u o t e:
Can a recruit account use Pre-Paid Game Cards or Game time to subscribe? If so, will my veteran account still qualify for a X-53 Touring Rocket?
Yes. Should a recruit account use a 60-day Pre-Paid Game Card or Pre-Paid Game Time to subscribe, your veteran account will not only qualify, but you'll be able to redeem your X-53 Touring Rocket immediately. Unlike Credit Cards, Paypal statements, and payments through Payment One, Pre-Paid Game Cards and Pre-Paid Game Time are processed right away and do not stack behind trial time or pending 30-day credits.
Please keep in mind that if your friend upgraded using the 1 month recurring option, then I believe that payment method is charged at the
end of each 30 day increment, thus potentially extending the wait for mount eligibility by approximately another 30 days beyond the original 40 day 'wait'.
