It's not only congestion that is giving errors now ...
EDIT:
People from NA are getting codes and then they are being accidently sent to the JP site to put them in .....

IF YOU GET the ERROR: 3 message, KEEP TRYING you WILL get the code eventually (it took me 4 tries only). After you get the 12 digit code you WILL get the region error, this is NOT because of a mistake YOU did, this is because they accidentally sent EVERYBODY to the JPN site to redeem the code and not the NA site. As soon as they link the proper NA site, everything should and WILL work.
It seems there is more than congestion going on, so I thought to post this here (if this is somewhere else please remove this)
Apparently many from NA are getting sent EU related codes, which of course are getting a "wrong region" error.

I would STRONGLY suggest for everyone to wait a day or so to see if this gets straightened out. Â I'd hate for anyone to go through more of a headache.
And if there is more word on how to fix this for anyone who did get an invalid code, I'll let you know too.
