The last two have been blocked from activating and directed me to the CSR. She asked me to verify information that was completely not related to me and they told me they would send me a check as a refund. Did I get caught buying too many cards (5 for $500 each in 3 days) or is there simply an issue with their system attempting to activate?
You're supposedly limited to registering 3. This is probably the issue. Interesting that you can buy more with a card and they will reject them and send you a check.
