Got the code but it doesn't work. The forums are full of similar complains waiting for Apple to resend the code or to fix the problem.

None here as well. After several failed attempts to fill in the up-to-date program form, finally got through. Now no code for hours. Can't complain about a free upgrade though. Only want a confirmation it worked, I can wait all day for the download itself. It's not gonna escape from the Appstore...
