Heads up: It appears that promo codes generated in the US can't be redeemed in the EU.
There's a confirmation screen that folks in Europe can't get past after the code is checked. Some marketplace changes, surely.
Everything works fine if you're not in Europe.
It's also likely few developers at Apple are aware of this because they are not in the locked down region. We had no idea until we started hearing from reviewers (for a new product release).
