Might have something to do with the screwy eshop servers. Make sure you entered it right and if it still doesn't work wait a day or so and try again as it may just be a bug. If all else fails maybe get a new one from the store it was bought at.

Sounds like all else has failed. Try returning it if you can.

Also do you have the letter "o" and the number "0" possibly mixed up?

It could be because it's a WiiShop Points card for Wii, not an eShop Credit card for Wii U/3DS. Does it have points on it or a dollar amount?

And please be more descriptive. What is the error message after you enter it? Would the card put your balance over $200?

Pretty sure that the Wii Shop cards aren't available anymore and that ontop of that they were the same cards anyway. When the 3DS first launched you could use Wii Shop cards for adding credit for quite a while before the eShop cards came out. Even now you can use eShop cards on the Wii Shop. So I don't think that will be the problem at all @JaxonH

I'd strongly suggest just waiting to see if it's not a server issue given how broken their servers have been. If it's still failing I would suggest trying to work it out between Nintendo and the store the card was purchased from. I suspect that the person at the counter didn't activate the card correctly... although don't go throwing that accusation around unless you're 100% sure it's not the eShop or something else.

Also, if it wasn't scanned at register, it's not activated. DEJA VU!

An article I read about codes not working on eShop with a fix. I know it's referring to the 3DS eShop but the problem and fix could both apply to Wii U as well.
