It took me over an hour. Very clunky process. Lots of steering towards the investment elections (it's still saying my "enrollment is not complete.") No way to select additonal coverarage. I had to fish around for a confirmation page.
Definitely not ready for prime-time. But not surprising.

I selected additonal as well during OE. What was disconcerting was that I didn't see nor could I select it on the MetLife website. Only after I fished around for a confirmation page could i see it.

Update: I went back and fussed with again today. The process worked as described in the email. You select how much you want to contribute to the investment portion or you select to decline investment. Even if you select to decline investment portion you are still forced to make elections. Enter beneficiary info and acknowledge the legal mumbo jumbo and you're done.

When I clicked on the alert banner it took me to the beginning of the signup process. That is definitely not right.
