I was able to register last Sat morning and sent the following to our friends based on my experience.
"I just completed the SXM registration process. Pretty simple with a few tips: 1). You need to have you passport info. 2) Need arrival flight # and arrival and departure dates. 4). Maybe because I was using a MAC, when I selected the dates it always showed the prior date? When I selected a second time it worked fine. 5). When you enter phone # you need to use the following format. +1XXXXXXXXXX. Note when you scroll to our birth year, try not to get a cramp, it’s A LOT of scrolling."
Sharing here in hope it might help others.
