A year ago there were a bunch of articles claiming Apple would repair the anti reflective coating free of charge. After doing a Google Search, I haven't found anything official other than a bunch of news articles. Has anyone actually gotten their screen repaired for free if the coating failed? I have an appointment set up but I don't want to be looked at like I have 2 heads when I go in.

Yes, it's official. They'll fix it, at least they fixed my brother's MacBook Pro
 
Is the kind of screen different, or the same?

Do they refuse if it isn't worn down enough?

Thanks.
 
I only had a couple of spots on mine - most in the corners, but one developed in the middle of the screen. No hassles on replacing it (other than they had to order the part).
 
They just replaced the screen on my 13" MBP because it had a small wear spot in the reflective coating, about the size of an eraser head. No problems, no questions. Had in back in 3 days, all covered by AppleCare

What model?

The '14 model in my sig. Luckily it had 92 days of AppleCare remaining. They took a look at it, said they couldn't tell what caused it, but it didn't matter, I had AppleCare and they would take care of it. They took it in and replaced it.
