My Gamestop told me yesterday that they will have the Mew codes on Tuesday. Today is Tuesday, and they still haven't gotten the codes yet.
I'll have enough for an event team by the time I start the game. Derp.
I got my Mew code yesterday. However, the Gamestop employee who gave me one told me that it's only one per person, so I couldn't get a second code for one of my online friends, who has no game store in her location. I also would like to know if codes from the U.S. could still work on X,Y, OR, and AS from other regions outside of the U.S. like, say, Ukraine.
I've added a mini-FAQ to the original post to address some of the most commonly asked questions. (I'll clean up my terrible grammar later today!)
Celebi & Jirachi distributions confirmed to be over Nintendo Network for Europe in March & April
Update on Celebi and Jirachi events:

So yeah, Celebi and Jirachi confirmed to be coming to Europe. Celebi will be available March 1-24, and Jirachi will be available April 1-24. Both are Mystery Gift wi-fi distributions on Nintendo Network.
I'm pretty sure details for the Australian leg will get announced in coming days as well, since it would not be right for my clan to miss out.
Just a little warning!
I work for Gamestop up in the Seattle area and I only know of two of our stores who even GOT any of the Mew Codes (our sister store nearby had an employee come over and crib one stack of 50 for his store because they had so much demand) and we each got like ~250-300 codes. As of tonight, we're completely out with no notice of any restock or that any other stores got them
So this is a warning: Nintendo didn't send enough of the Mew cards out to Gamestop Retailers, and most stores (with some stupid exceptions) had a 1 per person policy and are probably out now w/ no idea when we're getting more in.
Well, meanwhile, I'm SOL: apparently, Mew is being distributed everywhere in Europe, except in France for some reason.
What they should have done was a classic local WiFi distribution. These serial codes are kind of silly. GameStop should have a system that allows stores to download a auto-expiring distribution from Nintendo.
Now, people are unable to get cards, for various reasons, and might resort to other, more convenient methods of obtaining the Mew. Sad. I think the plushes should also be able to be bought directly from Nintendo in addition to the stores.
I agree with you that theses serial codes suck, all of these events should be distributed via Wi-Fi worldwide instead of local Wi-Fi distributions in GameStop and other game stores because it's the modern and fair way to distribute them. Serial code and local Wi-Fi distributions should've been left to the 00's.What they should have done was a classic local WiFi distribution. These serial codes are kind of silly. GameStop should have a system that allows stores to download a auto-expiring distribution from Nintendo.
That isn't surprise when we know that Nintendo lives in the 00's when it comes to Wi-Fi things.Nintendo's portable wi-fi servers are apparently such a hassle to set up that its not worth doing (I know about half the McDonald's near us didn't even bother because of how hard it was to set up).
