Just wait for this issue to pass, and then try again.

Is this because of Shovel Knights release? I saw when I googled this code that people were flocking to add funds to down load that game. Is this a repeat of what happened with Pokemon Bank back in December?

Eh...if that was the case, then this would've happened on Thursday. I think it just went down, somehow.

Oh... Well I guess I'll wait until its working to get the games I wanted. I was going to download Denpa-men 3 but I'll just have to be patient I guess.

Do you know when will end?,i hope its not for long

Odd, I was able to be in the eShop for the past hour before I was booted. I figured this would be another system update.

It seems to be that parts of the eShop are functional, but the general consensus is that adding funds is a no go.

I hope they fix this by tomorrow, I was planning on adding 40 bucks for the Summer Sales.

It once happened to me that the eshop would show me the value of the card but then say that it was not valid.

Turns out the cashier at the store where I bought it forgot to activate it.

Nintendo was kind enough to deposit the money directly to my account.
