I got The Old Gods expansion for Crusader Kings II after signing up for the Crusader Kings newsletter.

When I activate the key from the my games page, it says an unknown error has occurred when communicating with Steam.

What should I do?
 
You should redeem it directly on Steam instead, tha way you'll get a clearer error if there's still a problem.

Just paste your Steam Activation code into the +Add a Game area of the Steam client application, and the game will be available in your Steam Library in that Client to download and install.

You can also do this directly on the Steam website
