So if I buy a card and someone has already taken the PIN number, (by writing it down on something and shelving the card) can it be already activated? That would mean I just wasted some money.

I would take a guess the code is behind some kind of security seal, a tag or some kind of plastic. Look if its been tampered with before you buy.

I think you have to scratch of the stuff that covers the code (like a scratchcard) before you can see the code.

 

 

 

Thats what i think...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most likely. That's how gift cc and ugc's work.

The codes aren't activated until the card is bought at the register. I don't know how this is accomplished... but it prevents guessing codes for free membership. That's how itunes cards work anyways, (it says so on the back in small print).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I wouldn't buy it if it was scratched off anyways (the code is hidden behind a scratch off section).

I hear all 7/11 stores have them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And i think the Pre-paid cards are like gift cards, where they have to swipe it to activate it at the register.
