Curious if anyone has a best-practices answer for this.
I had two cards that did not activate properly. I faxed all of the required documentation in and am waiting for them to be properly activated. I've gone through this once before, so not all that worried about that part of it. HOWEVER, in the interim, the pin-cards that came with the gift cards have gotten mixed up. So, I have two gift cards and two pins, but I do not know which pin goes with which card. Once the cards are activated, am I best to call and set a pin before I try anything, or should I use the pin on the card with a 50% chance that it is wrong? Does it matter? Just don't want them to get "locked"
Thanks
