cant buy wii points threw the console

[zeketr]

hello everyone,

i tried to put my credit card in the wii shop channel but he gives me an error...
i'm from israel and i think its because i dont give a state in the billing information form..

any ideas?
thanks!

hmm mabe jus mabe you need to set everyhin to ur current region or somethin... or at least wut you told the creditcard company

 

[zeketr]

yeah well maybe...

but i cant choose israel in the location options...

 

[samXcor3]

is there any greater region that israel is grouped in? also, did you buy your wii in israel?

problems solved... here's how

i went to some nintendo official page that helped me get a location in the US by zip code, and the address that he gave me there i just entered as the billing address.. it worked! i'm playing classic mario as we speak...

thank to all the helpers!

Roy.

Dood, the thread is years old.
Dont try to talk to ghosts.

Maybe try to buy point cards off Ebay? As most end up emailing you the code
