EDIT: FIX! Getting the eShop card thru PlayAsia did the trick. Maybe the Eneba one was just broken, but if you don't want to risk 5-10$ in the future maybe go straight to PlayAsia

Yeah sounds like that might be it, was scouring the internet for this problem but there were no postings about it so I figured I'd make it. Appreciate all your help!

Thanks for replying, I think it won't be free until March 2023, and since I currently have a Home subscription I just wanted to get them all moved ASAP. I probably won't region change since it looks like it won't help, but I might try a different code. The first one I got was from Eneba and their USA code work but this one didn't. I've contacted Nintendo Support as well, and since I can't use my PayPal or credit/debit card to load (since they're international I guess) my only option seems to be getting another code from PlayAsia or something. Any other ideas? Thank you

Hello, I just got a Japanese 3DS cause it was cheapee, I have it homebrewed and everything. I have not region changed it (not sure if I should) But the MAIN PROBLEM is that when I access Pokemon Bank I get "purchase" "add credits" or exit. Mind you its still in Japanese (which is fine) upon trying to purchase or add credits and inputting eShop gift card, I get errors and its not accepting the gift card(in app or online). Do I even need the gift card? I thought it was free, been trying to find a way around this with no luck. Just trying to move Pokemon from Ultra Sun to Home Any Ideas? Would region changing work?
