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 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!!
