You could try entering your home address in Belgium (but leave the credit card alone), and see if that makes a difference.

Strangest thing. I've changed my country to Belgium and everything worked fine! Why? Ok, it doesn't matter. As soon as I clicked the button "Buy" I had a confirmation, and my Gift balance went from 5$ to 1.56. Just received the confirmation email also. That's why I wanted to buy a book less than 5$, because that's all I put there for a test.
Thanks, Mike.
I was trying to buy the Mark Twain collections because of two reasons:
1. His books made my childhood sometimes wonderful (loved Tom's adventures and humor).
2. I wanted to test the gift certificate method with something cheap.
It seems fine now but still don't really understand why I had to put the country to Belgium.
But if it works...
