However, they worked today but another failed. My assumption is that I've tried liquidating them too fast so they aren't fully activated but just questioning if anyone else has better insight. Thanks!
The Amex cards definitely don't activate right away. I don't know exactly how long it takes, but it's absolutely not instantaneous. I've tried buying one then walking next door to a store to use it and it never works. But if I let it sit for an hour or so, then it works.
