Apple's OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Program Experiencing Early Hiccups

Who knows if the code isn't set up to ONLY work on the eligible machine.
I'm just ticked off that we spend thousands on a machine then we're told we have to wait in line for three days for a $20 coupon.
However, I'm thinking maybe this will work in my favor. I need my machine to work every day, without forcing me to spend time fixing it. If there are bugs in the initial release, I think I'd rather know about them before jumping in for the upgrade, anyway.
I submitted my request. I didn't realize I needed a picture of anything for proof of purchase. All I had was a screen shot of the MacMall information. I submitted that naturally...3 hours later when I got around to signing up my applecare the MacMall receipt was in there. Stupid.
Of course I don't own a scanner, so it's not like it would help much. I could've taken a picture of course. But it's a moot point.
I'll have to call Apple up and God willing get someone who isn't from India to talk to. Cannot understand a single word the overseas tech support say and I usally end up hanging up on them and looking for a fix online for things.
I sense that I might just spend the 40 dollars (Two different Apple ID's. Work related. Cannot be changed) for the ML upgrade. But not yet, that's for sure. I'll wait till around 10.8.1 or even 10.8.2

Is there any way to confirm that this is a good workaround without rolling the dice on the $20.
I requested the update code this morning before I went to work. The day is almost over and no code yet. I'm not in any rush, I probably won't install it until I get more time anyway.
Hi. can you share when you requested for it and how long it took for them to give you the code.
I understand what you mean bro, but one thing is Apple legally giving it to me or me taking it away from apple before they nicely give to me.
I really would hate to steal it by using some other source. Apple has been nice and helpful to me, I'm gonna continue being loyal to them.
If for some reason my application is denied well that's something else, I bought my MacBook pro the 7th of this month so I shouldn't worry about it, I'm just gonna wait til it's available for me.
GM and this release are the same. I'm not sure if someone already answered your question or not
I have done the same as you. And apparently only one will go through and the other will get declined
Your being far too romantic.
Clinging to some perfect image of a man now past, will do nothing but cause you grief.
Cheer up, Tim's the man now, and he's doing just fine. Get into acceptance and you will be fine too.
sorry but nope. Apple was this bad under jobs. They are very good at doing huge **** ups on anything like this. Chances are the DB system they use is pretty much crap and poorly set up. Jobs like things to look pretty and did not give a damn about funtionallity. Pretty came first.
Like it or not we are ALL tied together. I don't think he was blaming anyone. Rather his point simply implies that in the whole scheme of things this OS X update is a minor issue. Get downsized, home foreclosed, car repossessed, loved one lost, or miss a few meals and your perspective might change.

You should be fine once you get your redemption code
Not the proper place to enter into a discussion on religion so I'll end my comments on the matter with:
The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
Well you guys aren't any fun at all. I submitted my request a little over 2 hours ago and thought I'd see my code soon. Now I read this thread and it looks like no Mountain Lion for a long time.
my god, is there a lack of oxygen in your area? if they wanted to make you pay for it, THEY WOULDNT HAVE MADE THE OFFER.
i pray that you're really just 12 years old.
Thank goodness. First thing I did this morning was check my email hoping to install it... So annoying though. This isnt really a good first impression for apple...
