I didnt get any activation codes either. Just call GCM and they will manually activate them. I had 7 cards and they did all of them in 15 minutes or so and they're all liquidated. Its not a whole lot more of a hassle than entering them all online...

It'll take another week most likely. All rebates were held up because of the holiday. Even though it says sent, it probably wont arrive until the first week of feb.

What number are you guys using to call GCM?
I've called (888)524-1283 and when I put in the card number it tells me it's not active (duh) and to get an activation code from point of purchase.
EDIT: Nevermind, found a different phone number online:
(877)426-2551 - got a rep after a short hold. She told me that it would be active within 24 hours.

I received 15 envelopes today with the activation numbers for various GC's between my family members. 
That's two weeks after the cards were drained and forgotten. What a waste! On the positive side, the Postal Service should be grateful for a little boost to its survival (metered postage of $0.406/env. or $6.09 total).

Mine was 2/3 sealed. The other 1/3 was unsealed. There was a little rip between the two.

My activation codes arrived yesterday in a bright yellow envelopes, 4 weeks after I called to activate the cards and drain them. Almost funny! Glad I wasn't someone uninformed. That would have been an unbearable wait.
