Recently status matched from Delta Diamond to MilelagePlus PP and cruising around the website (which needs serious work) I saw a link to receive a coupon code for GE? Any other PP applied for this coupon and received it? Just trying to figure out what my chances of getting it are.

Can only get code emailed to you?
I am trying to get going on my application so I can try and get an appointment during a long layover at IAH in early February (failing that, I have another shot in late March).
The website tells me I can either request the code or view on screen. Naturally, I tried the latter but it takes me nowhere (actually, it either does nothing or takes me to the mobile home page on my browser). Any suggestions/similar experiences? I went ahead and requested it by email but why wait? Especially since it seems to take 1-2 days...

Good luck. I signed up and the next interview I can get in DEN is June, 3 days after I leave for Europe!

Thanks for the replies... I was actually wondering about the part about getting code to get started... is it me? The website? For the interview part, I have picked up the tip about refreshing/checking often for earlier appointments - I remain hopeful 
If it happens in time, great, if not, I am an expat who is usually lugging an empty suitcase home anyway, and with my routes, the baggage carousel at IAH/IAD/ORD/EWR/ATL etc. is the great equalizer, and in my observations I just get more time to wait past immigration instead of before it. However, if a quick carry-on trip happens, I would like the upper hand.

FYI, I had a GE interview in IAH last week in a new office they had opened last Monday.
The appointments were wide open ten days ago, and I was able to add a date last Wednesday with no issues during a layover inside the secure area. You might want to check and see if there are still openings. Had my card by Tuesday this week.
Good luck.

When I go to check the status I get the message
"Thank you for your request. Your code is taking longer than usual
to be generated. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Hope my request gets processed soon.

Interview schedule--check DAILY
LAX, next available date a couple of months out.
Called them, and they said check on line every day, we get cancellations.
Checked the next day, and a time was available day after.
So...check daily.

Qualified for Platinum on Dec 28, immediately applied for the reimbursement which went through after a couple of days. Then applied for GE. My application was pending for maybe 5 days. Just did the interview as a walk-in at IAH last week during a MR. They had a new interview office that wasn't well known. Already got my GE card and TSA PreCheck good to go

+1 on the reco's to check daily.
To that, I will add that if you're flying through an airport with a GEEC and you have a long enough layover, be sure to take their phone#'s and call them to ask about last minute cancellations.
My story: original appt was scheduled for sometime in February. I happened to be passing through SFO earlier this year, and called the SFO GE office to let them know I was there for the next 3 hours, in the event they had someone cancel... guy took my cell# and called me back within 10 minutes to say "come on down for the interview". Only downside was that I had to exit the sterile side and go back through security once the interview was finished.
Kudo's to the SFO CBP folks, they were very professional.

Correct. I couldn't find an available opening for months. Checked back daily and in a few days found many convenient times that had opened up. I had a 3 hour layover in IAH, so I went to the Center an hour before my appointment time and they took me right away.
