...but I've been unable to. I tried to log in with my NintendoLife account but it says it can't recognise my login. I then used my Google account and the login worked, but I'm still unable to buy.
Are people from the UK blocked from buying US eShop credit, even if we want to? I'd like to take advantage of 10% discount and avoid PC Game Supply if I can.

@Spintendo I'm guessing the NL card store lacks the ability to convert currency, and maybe US eshop cards can only be bought with US money. Let's ask @antdickens. Ant, can a UK person use nintenolife's eshop card store to buy eshop cards for US/north america region eshop?
@Spintendo hey, I assume you set the codes site region to the US? If so, I will double check to see if this is allowed. It might be a legal thing and maybe need to use a VPN but I’ll find out for you.

Thanks both!
Yes that's right, I selected the US flag on the top right and it shows me the $50 card. I just can't buy it or log into the store with this Nintendolife account. My Google account works, but I still can't buy.
@Spintendo it’s a separate system so you can’t login with your website account, sadly. At least not at the moment. So yeah you’ll have to re-register or use a google/social account. That’s not related to your issue though I’ll come back to you.
@Spintendo okay have checked, you should be able to buy US credit whilst in the UK. If you still can’t checkout it might be a security thing and therefore please raise a support ticket or email [email protected] let me know how it goes!

Thanks @antdickens. I've written an e-mail so I'll let you know how I get on. I've now tried it on 3 different browsers and have had no luck. In the meantime, are you based in the UK? If so, would you mind visiting the page to see if you're able to add US eShop credit to your cart, please?
@antdickens - Hi again. Someone from support got back to me really quickly. I had to click the American flag on the top right and select US again (even though it was already selected). I've just managed to place an order and I'm waiting for the code to arrive.
