I had the same thing happen to me once with a gift card that didn't have enough remaining balance for the purchase. I had to enter another card number. You might try contacting Apple support.

Wow. Was there some sort of hack that happened or something. That seems a bit odd that iTunes would ask you for your card even after it's already attached to your iTunes account.

What I mean is that I was not able to use my CC that we as attached to my iTunes account. What happens is someone got my CC # and once that happens you can never use that CC on iTunes again. How I found out was just a fluke by attempting to purchase something in iTunes. Later that day when the bank opened they called me.
