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?

yup...same problem. Ridiculous. Seems this is Apple's attempt at easing their servers from all the traffic. They are probably thinking it's best to give people who are paying first crack at ML...why not, they get money from them. We've already given them our money by upgrading our hardware.
Thanks Apple...you guys are swell.
Same problem here, emailed support. I'm curious to know if everyone got the same code.
I have spokent to two apple representatvies now. The first one was about an hour ago, and she told me that we would be receiving a second code to try. I didnt receive a second code so i rang again, and the second guy told me that due to server issues, where the code has actually not been fully activated, we are receiving this error. He also said that we should wait and the original codes we got should be activated and we can download. Hope this has helped!!
They need 3 days to fix the bug?! What a wonderful world
I just got off the phone with an Apple consultant and she told me that the Apple engineers sent out the codes prematurely resulting in this error. She also told me we should be getting emails in the next 24 hours with new codes. 🙂
Mine starts with "WK" and ends with "L9" and it doesn't work. I guess yours is different though.
Very disappointing.
same problem here
so we have been getting conflicting reports, some reps say within 24 hours we should be getting new codes, some say that within 24 hours our current codes should work, and some say that the issue should be resolved in 72 hours...great.
They don't have a clue, do they?
My code still has not arrived. After 70 min.
Meanwhile, some will say... Ah, forget it. And pay 20 bucks.
More money for Apple.
Shame.
What is the benifit of buying a new mac early? I did not expect this one from Apple, Inc. Is there any possibility that apple done this to avoid overload to their servers?
After all, we knew that we WILL have a working code sooner or later, sigh....
so we have to check our email and test the code every 5 min in the next 72 hours... 😉 really great
Same for me...
Mountain lion party is broken :-(
What the ****? I cannot wait that much!!!
I am from Turkey and the same thing happeend to me. Just ignore it if you already chose the reseller of Poland.
Mountain Lion redemption code has already been used
