Yes, I do sit there at exactly 24 hrs. and repeatedly hit refresh when I have a high fare class ticket and am very quick to get all the way through - but didn't think I could be that much faster than anyone else doing the same.

Here's the text of the email I receive...

Subject: Unable to provide boarding passes for confirmation XXXXX
Thank you for choosing Auto Check-in for your upcoming Continental Airlines flight. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide your boarding passes at this time.

Please complete your check-in at the airport on your day of departure. We apologize for this inconvenience.
