Credit Card Processing Unavailable

Hello,

I am getting this error today, "credit card processing is temporarily unavailable, Please try again later." Please note: This card works and I used it to buy three apps four days ago. No information has changed. I opened up an Amazon account and Netflix account today with no problems. It has to be an Apple problem. I got this error after entering my CVC code about 5 times (since that seems to be the problem). It is a MasterCard Debit. I also made a purchase today on Amazon and it went through.
