Does anybody know how long it takes to receive the email with the redemption code for Mountain Lion after registering on the up-to-date page?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
72 hrs. That is what Apple told me over the phone. If you want it sooner, go buy it.

i have been waiting for 4 hours now, still not there 😟
hmm... I wonder if I can get credited if I just go ahead and buy it.
I would NOT count on it.
it comes down to this: is your patience worth $20?
$20 to not wait for 72 hours? hmm
no, $20 to not wait anywhere from 1 minute to 72 hours :>
From the terms and conditions:
"...Upon receipt of your completed order form and proof of purchase, a content code for OS X Mountain Lion, redeemable on the Mac App Store, will be emailed within 24 hours of order qualification..."
24hrs is a better estimate 🙂
I got mine within 20 minutes. When I entered the code however, it said that it had already been entered. I called them and said that I would get another code within 24 hours 😟.
Been waiting over 8 hours now. There's evidently a bug so disregard the terms and conditions, they've already announced it may take up to 3 days for the codes to get sent. Evidently for peole whose code says it's already been used, from when they had the page up early and people got codes, after they took it down and reset things, and brought it up live again, they reset the codes as well so it started handing out some it already had handed out when it was up early... Not quite the smoothest rollout they've done...
Would you reccomend just buying it then? I have a 20 dollar gift card anyway...
Do you receive an email confirmation after you signup for the program? Becuase I didn't receive any confirmation except on the webpage. I am afraid that something might have went wrong 😟
I didn't receive a email confirmation after submitting my claim for the upgrade. Just waiting......
No, you got what you get - the claim reference number on the page that comes up right after you enter the info. The rest of it all comes via email, which per apple earlier today, due to problems with their system, can now take up to 72 hours....
Welcome to the Mountain Lion rollout. 😉
I didnt receive a confirmation email as well.
Going to wait 72 hrs for the code to arrive. Bit of a joke having dished out £2400 on a laptop and now having to wait 72 hrs for a $20 coupon OS upgrade.
