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?

I switched from Windows to Apple to avoid poorly managed stuff like this. This is terrible. When I called tech support, they told me they would resend the redeem code in 3 - 4 minutes. It has been an hour and it never arrived. Then I realized that the tech support guy didn't even have my e-mail address and couldn't resend the code. What a disappointment.
