Seems like it's the case before being able to use PIN-based debit. Upon further investigation, the automated phone system prompts for the PIN to be updated right upon verifying the card information. The website now shows a banner across the top advising you to call and update your PIN as well. These are both new.
The cards I purchased at the end of January did not have this requirement and I was able to drain them immediately.
