    Inactive Gift cards from SBR
    I received 2 $250 Walmart gift cards from SBR that are inactive. How do I get them activated. I previous received a $50 card that was already active.

    "par for the course" you're just receiving the gift cards for your points purchase, you have to put the money on them yourself

        I purchase these through the SBR store with my points. When I receive my first $50 gift card it was already reloaded for $50.

            Technically they're not $250 gift cards. They're $0 gift cards.

                      dont know how you can get a giftcard thats not activated. The only way that they would not be activated would be buy just taking the gift card off the shelf and walking out of the store with out putting any money on it.

                            I've received at least 5 $100 cards with no problem.

                            Call the 800# to add a zip code so you can use them online. Use Amazon payments to get your cash off the card with no fees, withdraw to bank account. Take cash to p2p transfer and load a book

                              There is a 1-800 number on the back of the gift card. Call that number to activate it.

                                Don't make false statements on things you don't know about. Since June I have accumulated almost 20,000 points.

                                  I received a shipment summary but it doesn't say anything about activation.

                                        isn't the activation on the back of the card?

                                        I got one a while back and i had to scratch off the little gray bar, don't know if its still like that or not.

                                          same thing happened to me. I went to use them and they didn't work. I tried using 2. After Sam activated them, the 3 that I didn't use worked in a few hours. The other 2, he had to call and settle it somehow. Needless to say it was a pain in the ass.

                                                it happens with high dollar gift cards, you may need some info from Sam in order to complete the activation, the same thing happened last year when i got one for $600,

                                                      I am assuming this is for Amazon gift cards only?

                                                        The issue is when you purchase over $249 dollars they have to be activated. This is only for Walamart.
                                                        Walmart send me the activation codes, its just a security thing .
