I ran into this problem too. HK credit card and pay pal stopped working.
Setup an account at www.target.com and buy eshop vouchers.

.. does anyone else see a page 5 link to this thread that doesn't actually open / exist? A glitch in the system perhaps?
Anyways - anyone knows what happens to previously made purchases if switching Nintendo eShop region back to Hong Kong from the USA? (Though I may still be loathe to do this anyways given the different game catalogues and that the HK shop doesn't appear to be fully integrated)
Off-topic, but... there's a long-standing bug on this site where the total number of posts (and therefore pages) doesn't take into account some posts which don't actually show in the thread - possibly because the poster has been banned or ignored, or the post has been deleted or moved to another thread. Tends to hit long threads harder...
Sorry to dwindle on this again, but after proceeding to the Target link I did notice these comments. Have you tried the eCard? Does it work?
Perhaps these comments are for people who had their System set to non-USA? Or are they detecting IP address / requiring valid US CC on file now?
When I purchased the Switch when it first launched, HK didn't have an eshop, so I setup a US account and purchased from e-shop Nintendo US and paid with HK credit card and HK Paypal.
My credit card and paypal stopped working (When the HK eshop was active), so I decided to buy the eshop vouchers through Target USA.
If you are worried, you can start off with USD10 voucher.
