I submitted my claim on launch day at about 10AM, I received my code at like 4 AM this morning. Thats about 42 hours.
submitted 2 claims wednesday around 11am eastern, thursday around 1pm eastern didnt recieve anything, called Applecare, they said they were approved and the emails but have been "snagged" somewhere, the representative resent my serial email claim and it just arrived this morning.... so apparently i have ML downloading and i will be able to log in under my ID on the 2nd macbook and download it to the 2nd machine.
so if you are yet to recieve your codes, call applecare! good luck

Thank you for choosing Apple!
When did you call AppleCare? How long was it between the phone call and the email?
I received mine! 46 1/2hrs after I submitted my request... Too late though, I had already d/l and installed the GM version Wednesday night.
So when you finally get a code and put it in, will your torrented copy be seen as "legit" and upgradeable in the future?
45 hours, nothing yet. Moved files around getting ready for a clean install 2 days ago.
Does it give an option for a clean install when you get it from the MAS? Or do you need to make it a bootable USB drive to do a clean install?
I read many people saying you can just go into disk utility and erase the drive during the installer for a clean install. It's hard to think about how this might work, given it's from the App Store. I'd love to hear more confirmation that it's possible from others who've done it.
updates come via software update not mas
the code is to download off mas it's not a serial number
After almost 48 hrs of waiting got my codes this morning!!! I got 2 emails, one is the password to open the attachment of the second email containing the PDF download code!.
