Oh man, it has been 52 hours since I submitted my claim application and I haven't heard from Apple yet. Finally got fed up of the service quality of Apple and shot an email to iTunes support. It is still acceptable if Apple is just plain inefficient. It is unacceptable when people who filed their claim yesterday got their codes within 24 hours, while others who submitted their claim more than 2 days ago are still waiting. Apple is not just inefficient, it either has a screwed up queue system or it is practicing discrimination towards some of their users.
Got a tip for us?

My second request I submitted today at 12:05pm EST just got answered 2.5 hours later. Code and password emails both came at exactly the same time. Downloading ML from the app store now.
Not a peep from my first request made 53 hours ago. Something definitely got lost in the shuffle.

Just got two codes. Submitted once 2 days ago, got impatient and submitted it again and it said code is claimed but I just kept pressing submit and took me to a page to submit proof. Took a screenshot of my Apple online store order email and submitted that. After 5 hours, I got 2 emails with 2 different codes.
I submitted mine around 10pm on 7/25, called 7/27 ~11am and was told to wait up to 72 hours, received my code 7/27 1pm.
Hehe I was hoping youd get it soon. You seemed so down with everyone but you getting it lol.
Just received my code... 54 hours after submission!
As I'm impatient, rather sad and had copious free time this week to install and play with the software, I already paid for the download.
I'll be passing the code onto friend or family in the hope that they can use it.
So, all you other early applicants who are still waiting, don't give up hope just yet... based on other posts above, seems like a huge batch must be being sent out right now.

Yeah, the back has broken.
Can't be bothered working out the hours but I signed up as soon as it was available and I just got mine. FINALLY!

Got the password email this AM - about 45 hours. BUT . . . I had to got to Support and ask them to resend the code email that I never got. That only took about 20 minutes. Download and install took about 1:45.
YES! 19:38PM GMT 2 Apple emails received. Almost 53 hour wait. Good luck to everyone else.. Now to see if this works
Currently in my 53 hour. Just rang up Apple Care and they said they will request to get it resent (But it has been approved).
They also told me to email uptodatesupport-uk@apple.com which I doubt will do much really.
I don't think I will get it until Monday now.

50 Hours. I went ahead and paid for one copy and loaded it on the qualifying computer and 4 others. I figure the up to date version is exclusive to the qualifying computer.
Mine has arrived too
It took 47 hours. And I seem to have got three codes. I submitted yesterday after for a second time and got a second claim number.
