I bought a the perfect gift card and it’s registered but I can’t add funds to the switch it keeps saying please contact card issuer even though the card says it works and is fine for two of my cards

That's weird, you sure you did it with the same type of card, same account before?

No

#

And the cards are still from the same place

Let me know if you figured out the reason. Maybe it's an important info for others to know as well.

Yep, I believe this is a Nintendo's side issue.

You can try adding DNS to your Switch like below

HOW TO CHANGE DNS

• What's DNS? How can it help?
Domain Name System (DNS) is an internet system akin to an address book.
・ Using a better Public DNS service may improve connection speed.
・ Google's Public DNS service is often recommended, which is what we will use in this guide.

• How to change Nintendo Switch's DNS settings:
・ From Home Menu, navigate to System Settings ⚙️ > Internet > Internet Settings.
・ Select your network under Registered Networks.
・ Select Change Settings > DNS Settings > Change it to Manual.
・ Set these settings as follow:

  • Primary DNS: 008.008.008.008
  • Secondary DNS: 008.008.004.004

Or a better way to test is to add the credit card at a different time, on a different Wifi network

Apparently :/

And from time to time, we have report about payment issue due to server, internet connection and various other network causes.
