How is this even possible? Nintendo... what kind of engineers do they have on the 3ds- not that this is negative news, the more users have access the better.
I owe Valerie an apology- ...will send her cake.
Time to edit the OP.

That's awesome, at first I thought it wouldnt work because the Nintendo Zone app keep saying it wasnt a valid zone, but then I started the game and went to the post office and I got my clock without any trouble 
Thank you! Its lovely btw n_n

I changed my ssid and removed security settings (not sure of that's necessary tho) and was able to get the clock. The Nintendo zone app was blinking blue so I started my game and went to the post office. Pretty awesome, since my Best Buy's nintendo zone isn't working and they are clueless about the dlc. Which seems to be a lot of people's experience.

It's possible because all that they're looking for is correct SSID. They don't care about anything else. If you have the right SSID and can connect to the internet, then you're eligible. This is how Best Buys all over the country can actually have this. You're not getting the DLC from Best Buy. You're still connecting to the internet and getting it from Nintendo's servers.

I tried to change my SSID but apparently you can't do that on Comcast xfinity routers 
ill just have to wait until someone lets me catalogue or I have the rare chance to visit a Best Buy and hope they have the darn nintendo zone up

I did it and I am so happy changed my SSID got the clock then changed it back to what it was crisis averted 
Connecting to the Bestbuy Nintendo Zone works for me but when I try to download the clock I get "Error 004-3003"
From a quick search on the internet it seems other EU people get the same error.
I would really like to catalog the clock so if someone is willing to let me catalog it please pm me!

I believe that was the same error I got even though I am in the US. I changed the SSID on my router but once I went into the 3DS network settings and changed the SSID there as well, it worked.

Aw man, I have Xfinity too. Although my router and modem are my own so maybe it will work since the router isn't owned by Comcast? I'll have to try when my 3DS XL and game arrive later today (hopefully).
I have a participating Best Buy nearby, and was just passing it anyway, so figured, why not just stop in and get the raccoon wall clock? 
All I had to do was turn on Spotpass, go to Best Buy with my 3DS, fire up ACNL, and claim the DLC at the post office in ACNL.

I see that now... quite absurd that such a simple bypass exists. The partnership is to stream potential customers to Best Buy- well so much for that, haha. Nintendo can easily be sued & they'll settle in a flash. I mean, they're a billion dollar company right?
I tried to delete my other connection so only my Bestbuy SSID works on my 3DS, still no luck.
Seems it doesn't work because I'm in Europe.
Is there anyone in located in Europe who didn't het the error ?

How close to the Best Buy do you have to be?
Thanks Chelyn! I can verify that this works for our EU friends! Good luck everyone! =)

Ben, thanks for writing up such a clear explanation! I'm going to give it a try in a few minutes.
I was worried about messing with the SSID settings/tethering phone but it's much more easier than I thought. This saves me a trip through the horrid thunderstorms my city has been getting these past few days. Awesome
