I mean, they are only flooded with people upgrading. I think it even tells you it could be up to 24 hours from when they receive the proof
Ugh, yeah same here, no email back. rMPB 2012 ordered 6-22
Also, anyone else expecting(hoping, praying) the firewire > thunderbolt adapter to be released today? Nothing in the store yet.

Yeah, I've decided to give it until Saturday to let the flooding of downloads cool down a bit.
Just out of curiosity, why did you have to upgrade right now to ML to get work done? I am sure any software you need on ML would still run on Lion...
I need Messages to talk to my clients (Mac to Mac, Mac to iPhone, ICQ, Yahoo) without opening that garbage app Skype. That was the most important reason. Another reason is I couldn't connect to my 5GHz network anymore, works without a problem now. Anyway I had some free time today, which I don't have all the time so it was important to get it done as fast as possible. And c'mon, it was 16€ (I paid only 2€, don't ask me why, but that's what my home banking is telling me), Apple can have my money, they did a great job in my opinion.
They are working through the duplicate code issue. Supposedly everything will be cleared up in the next 24-48 hours. I received an e-mail from Apple to that effect after I sent a support ticket.
ok cool, thanks for the update!!! i'll be free in a few hours so I hope I get a redeem code by then.
Thanks. I haven't heard anything yet. I was hoping to install it tonight, so here's to hoping it's a quick fix.
I think Apple should at least automatically email codes to everyone who bought one from Apple since they already have our info. That would save a lot of time going through those requests at least. I can see how people that bought their hardware at 3rd party stores might have to request a code, but Apple knows who bought qualifying hardware from their stores.
Since this program only works for people buying from Apple or an official reseller, theoretically Apple should know what serial numbers qualify no matter where they were bought.
Since the serial number can be read by software, they could have easily allowed you to "claim" your copy right on the App store (just check if serial number qualifies and if so allow the person to "claim" ML onto their account like they do with iLife).
That would be another way they could've handled it. Anything would be better than having to wait hours or days for a code to get our copy of ML.
Eh I was really looking forward to installing it tonight, but I think I'll live waiting a few more hours. No need for melodrama.
Oh who am i kidding that won't be avoided here.
I'm still waiting on my "code" also. This is ridiculous. We buy the most recent hardware and we have to wait for a promised at purchase OS, or pay for it ???
