Mountain Lion redemption code has already been used

Just gone through the process to get a redemption code for Mountain Lion. Successfully received the PDF that contained the code, tried to redeem it in the Mac App store and got an error saying:


"This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once."


Oh dear. Are they sending out duplicates? What should I do now?

After complain by email I received this :

Dear Lucas,


I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. As for any release there are minor issues that arise when the product has just been released to the public. The Up-To-Date team for Mountain Lion is reviewing many requests and the ones that have had issues like yours will be first in line to receive a new code.


Again, I apologize for the wait on your redemption code due to the high-demand of requests. You should be receiving it within 24-48 hours.


Sincerely,


Adam

iTunes Store/Mac App Store Customer Support

I just talked to someone in uppermanagment on the phone and he informed me that anyone experiencing this problem with a code that had already been redeemed should be getting a new code within 24 hours of thier original bad code being sent. (I got mine at 7:08am today so i should get my replacement code at the latest at 7:08am tomorrow.) He said that if the code had not been recieved by then to call them back. You can call them for support at 1-800-275-2273 (Apple Express Lane) you usually are able to talk to someone within five minutes. Hopefully this issue is resolved soon, i know I am really frustrated with this major screw up in their system, maybe we will even get something extra from all of this, i know wishful thinking. I'll post on the forum again when I get my new code or when I find out something else.
