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?

So the geniuses (sarcasm) at Apple sent me another redeem code for the App store, which was supposed to be for Mountain Lion. I went to enter the code and it turns out the code was for OSX Server (not OS 10.8), which I can't download, because OSX Server requires Mountain Lion (10.8). Thanks a lot Apple 😟. Now I have to go through the whole process again of contacting support and telling them again how they f'd up. Glad to hear some of you have been straightened out. Just my luck I had my case reviewed by a monkey on his first day at work.
