Wii Hardware \ Wii Points - Address Problem

After entering my credit card details (type, number, expiry, security code) I keep getting the error message

"Error Code: 208002
The address you've entered is incorrect.
Please verify the information and try again"

Only problem is, I haven't entered any address details anywhere AFAIK. It's as if a screen is "missing" somewhere in the credit card processing.

Just tried telephoning (12.30pm 31Dec06) Nintendo Australia support and get an annoying message stating their Mon-Fri office hours. Where are you when a consumer need assistance? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Maybe you should reset the software. If it doesn't work send Nintendo a email or call them.

Based on some recent posts at WiiChat.com (great site, BTW) it seems there might be a problem at Nintendo's end at the moment.

Try getting points cards, if you can't get any points with your credit card, I got 2000 points about 2 weeks ago.

If you have set your wii to the UK to buy games we dont get here, you will get this problem. Points must be bought with the system set to AUSTRALIA. when you put your card details in, it checks the billing address of the card and the location of the system based on your settings. If you have the UK as your country with AUSTRALIA as your billing address, it wont work. same thing for points cards. the active cards are registered within the country of origin. If you still have troubles, then contact Nintendo Australia.

Hope this helps.

the country can be changed in the settings on the 3rd page. some ppl have been changing the country to gain access to the UK VC games. if you havent changed it, it may be a problem with the nintedo server on the time you used it. Try again and if the problem persists, contact Nintendo Australia.
