It's been six days since Mountain Lion released. I know that for the people who applied for the upgrade on July 25th, it took up to three days for them to get a working valid code.

Well it has been six days since Mountain Lion released and I am sure the servers are getting less traffic now that it's been almost a week. How long did it take you to get your Mountain Lion code after applying?

Please don't link me to other threads with a similar question. That thread was posted when Mountain Lion was released and the Up-To-Date program was having issues. I'm wanting to know how long it is taking now and if it is still sending out invalid/used codes. I am thinking about getting a MacBook by the end of this week and the first thing I want to do is apply for a Mountain Lion upgrade code at the Personal Setup station in the Apple Store. I want to know how long it is taking other people to get the emails from Apple with the code and password so that way I can get an idea if I will be able to do the upgrade at the Apple Store the same day I buy it or if I am going to have to wait a few days.

I completed the online application yesterday and my code was emailed within a minute. It took me more time to open the Mail app than it did for Apple to send the code.
