"We are unable to activate your Apple Development Membership."

So I used my wife's credit card to sign up for my developer membership, and I got an error when trying to activate it. I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that my name doesn't match the name on the credit card I used, although apple has already charged me. I don't want to send it IDs and all of those annoying things. Can I contact apple development and ask for a refund? Will they refund me so I can just try again? How long will it take for apple to refund me so I can try again? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, and I contacted them but they haven't responded and also from what I've heard you have to sent in ID copies and stuff if you want it to work, but I don't want to do all that, I just it to work!! Ugh.

I entered a psudo-name for my account and it activated just fine. The servers are temporarily overloaded, keep trying throughout the day - it will work eventually.

You have to give them the correct information to begin with.

You didn't.

Now you have to pay the price by using that link and waiting.

I gave them the correct info. I used my wifes name in the credit card section but in the section that just asked for your name I put mine. Apparently you can't do that.
