Almost 4 hours and still waiting. I don't care all that much since a day or two is meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but this is a pretty poorly handled upgrade process.
Got a tip for us?

So as an update, that's what I did. I signed in on my girlfriend's (she will be my wife in a few days anyways) account, downloaded Mountain Lion, and life goes on. Not only do I get Mountain Lion earlier, but because we're in the same household, I believe it's totally legal. Woot!
Anyone know if there is any difference between this official release and the gold master that was released a few weeks ago?
I have that version but thought I'd just wait and do the upgrade "legitimately", but I'm thinking about just doing it.

Submitted my application about 3-4 hours ago, got nothing back off Apple yet.
Downloading the iPhoto/iMovie updates in the meantime.

It seems like Apple has a thing about punishing Early adopters... first it was the travesty where the 2.7/16/768 rMPB buyers where quoted 3-5 weeks which was later reduced to 2-3 and those 2-3 got their orders first now its the guys who are excited about getting a new apple product get punished for daring to ask for it first...
Weak!!!!!
as Cartman once said... "Screw you guys... I'm going home"!!!!
I submitted my claim at 9:30 EST. I still have yet to receive an E-Mail. I also had to scan in a proof of purchase. I just submitted this again, we will see how long it will take. I haven't received any E-Mails yet.
Requested mine at 6pm (UK Time), now 6.41 and nothing yet.. I can wait, although I am at my parents place ready to download over there faster broadband! 18mb vs my 9mb... every little helps!
Been 1 hour and 15 minutes since I submitted claim. Got claim number. No email yet. I was able to choose MacBook Air.
I submitted as soon as it went up before 3pm (UK Time). Still waiting. But hey..... at least it's sunny outside!!!
I submitted my claim about 3 hours ago, about 11 o clock eastern time, and I have yet to receive my email. I've been so anxious about Mountain Lion! I hope I get my code soon :/
I realized later that I didn't use the email address consistent with my Apple ID. When I tried submitting another claim, their system said I'm using a claimed serial number. Looks like my wait may be longer.
I called support. They won't do anything until 72 hours have elapsed! (For the record I put in my request at 10:15 Eastern time)
Same here,, as I purchased mine 11th July.
Of of curiosity, the fact Apple needed the serial of your Mac, is this only to prove eligibility ? Or would it be tired to this Mac... ?
Basically the same as a Apple factory install
Knowing Apple, when I heard ML was out, with a RMBP, I thought all I had to do was to login to the useless mac app store and it would start downloading the thing for me. Well, no, I guess the mac app store is not good for this either. Hours and still no code. Looks like I am buying the thing. Apple used to make things easier than this. I am wondering whose idea this was?
