Haven't tried, but it might be better putting the issue on iStock's Help forum.
Though often you can't get help there at weekends, no-one here can help you.

I don't think he's looking for help, I think he's hoping for commiseration from fellow buyers who haven't been able to buy.  :)

Lol! No, istock is the only one out there and the OP and the rest of the image buying world who would like to use different credit cards, will just have to wait til Monday to buy images. Hey it's the weekend after all, there's no need for Support at the weekend  ;)

The OP and the 3 other buyers who tweeted about it must be about the only buyers left at istock.  ;D

Why on earth would anyone buy istock credits? Aren't they at least $1.50 each now? Unless you're spending a few hundred at a time for credits, in which case you might as well just get an SS subscription. Or if you're looking for smaller quantities, get the 5-image packs at SS. Still way cheaper than istock.
