If you had read every post on this thread then you would have seen that plenty of people bought and claimed a refund before and just after the 24hr mark.
And I Just got it... but not from first application.. I put a second one in about 3 or 4 hours ago with a different email address and just got that one!!
Yeah it seems strange. I used a different system than everyone here I believe though... There were two different systems. One for people who purchased before July 26th, and one for people who purchased on July 26th or after. I used the latter which may be the reason why we are seeing these disparities. Best of luck to everyone! Btw, rMBP owns... Haters almost made me not get this thing.You my friend got lucky...somehow apple's convoluted system skipped over all of us and gave you yours. how that makes sense if it is an automated process is beyond me.
sounds to me like tim cook needs to lay off the whiskey while handing out the codes one by one.
Submitted my request yesterday at 5:00 pm. It asked for proof of purchase. This AM no validation code yet. Thinking that I may have entered my serial number incorrectly-O instead of 0, I resubmitted it. This time it did not ask for proof of purchase and it gave me a new verification code. Hopefully this will go through faster because it won't require a human to verify the proof of purchase.
I was here when this thread started and have been here since. When people have asked for refunds they have tended to make an excuse for doing so. I'm asking if I simply tell them I can't wait will they refund me? If you read into it a little more I wasn't just asking if it was at all possible to get a refund, I'm asking if I can under my circumstances.
Received my password email and content code email 7/27 at 9:00AM. The time from second application to email received was 24 hours.
Yet if they were doing it by when people submitted their claim I should be ahead of you in line and have received nothing.
I submitted my claim within 5 minutes of the site going live. I still have nothing.
I requested my code 7/25 at around 1730 PST. I still have not received anything.
My friend requested his code yesterday afternoon. He told me this morning it came in overnight, WTF. I might just have to fire up my old sources for "free software" just out of spite.
Thats what I thought.. so for all those waiting still it seems try submitting again.. to see if that works.. worked for me..

I copied and pasted my SN from Hardware info. Won't let me submit again. Have waited ~48 hours now. Who knows if they are even working on my request since people ahead of me are getting them.
I recieved my code today, took right at 45 hours. I had already bought Mountain Lion and recieved a refund at that point though.
I chose MBA for the first registration with SN and then MB for the second one btw.. I have an air..
When did you submit?
I've hit 36 hour mark. I wait a month to the day for this rMBP, and now Apple is making me wait more. Ugh.
Maybe I am dense, buthow can you resubmit? it says the serial was already claimed?
Just hit continue 3 times, it will accept it again on the 3rd time.
