As a follow-up to the problem I faced, I was able to get another email sent to my brother, whose email my mom used to make the purchase. I was able to finish the setup process. I still am of the opinion that this was a flawed rollout by tying ones hands to an email. I can understand security concerns - I work in the private security industry, but this was ridiculous to have to hunt down a code that should have been secured inside the product. To me this was a convoluted and backhand way of getting a product with potential out to the public, one that I'm sure not everyone appreciated. Suffice to say, I'm impressed with the system.

@XeviosoYou're right. They should have been able to help me when I told them my last name. We all share the same name, so figuring that out should have been a no-brainer. I have checked my mom's email, my brother checked his. It's as if it's disappeared into the ether-web. @bmillerAccording to my mom, she bought it via Amazon, though I did look through the catalog at Amazon and came to the same conclusion that you pointed out.

So here's the thing: I heard about the Stadia a year ago, and contemplated pre-ordering it, then decided to wait a while. Came across the Stadia page around Thanksgiving, told my mom about it, in the pre-text of a Christmas gift. Well, lo and behold, on Christmas Day, got the controller and Chromecast (i.e. Premiere Edition) and set about setting it up prior to going to one of my Aunt's for the second part of my annual Christmas season. The problem of the access code began. On the way to my aunt's, I got in contact with Google to figure out how to get the code, since my mom bought it, she mistakenly deleted the email chain. She says she bought it off of amazon. After the past week of contacting Google, I am still unable to play because there is no trace of the order number anywhere in my family. Had a phone conversation with some guy by the name of Jose, and he's unable to help me with a code, because they linked this system to an email which is gone. It's possible that my older brother's email address was used, but this is ridiculous. Playstation, Microsoft and Nintendo all put the codes needed inside the box. Why can't Google? This was a gift, and it's asinine to believe that a code can't be generated and sent to MY email instead of the email that ordered the device. Anybody else have this issue? I've since read that some people have had issues with getting the codes after pre-ordering. @GraceFromGoogle do you have a solution?
