Minecraft website down?

I just wanted to redeem my minecraftkeycard, which I got as a gift. But if I register then, email confirm and then continue to sign up, there's an error field where it says that I should try later. But that was already 2 days ago. Can anyone help me?

Can't you reach minecraft.net?

It's the same for me, but not for others, I'm just trying to get an answer.
