I have got two codes for my dad and I, just by contacting USA Microsoft Support through the live chat. Pretty simple.
I told them that I had an HTC HD7 that couldn't download applications from the Marketplace, and played a little dumb, like "I am connected to the Wi-Fi, but it still does not download anything" and then bring up the code screen. They then asked for my phone number, I generated a number (and a name for the chat) on www[.]fakenamegenerator[.]com and that was good enough for them. They gave me a valid code, I said "thanks" and "goodbye", and they replied with a typical automated survey text. Piss easy.
I didn't even change IP-address. The last support guy noticed and tried to redirect me to Microsoft Denmark, but I actually just ignored him and kept writing the fake story about how I didn't knew what to do.
I wrote to Russian Microsoft Support (as the last comment on first page recommended) and it worked as well. It took them about four days to reply, but it is OK, as the Christmas Holidays were coming up.
This means I do have an extra code available, so if any one is interested, do send me a message.
EDIT: The spare activation code has now been given out.
