iPod touch want to buy apps - iTunes store not responding

[gowanis]

so i've decided to just buy the apps. i have a $15 gift card laying around, so i'm trying to "redeem" before i purchase, and the store keeps telling me that it cannot complete the request. are the servers just busy? this is crapola.
