How do I activate my Visa or Mastercard gift card over the phone?

Activating Your Plastic Visa or Mastercard Gift Card

If you've received a plastic Visa or Mastercard gift card issued by Gift Card Granny, you need to activate it before use.

How to Activate Your Card by Phone:

1. Call the toll-free number 855-660-6847.
2. Select Option 1 from the menu.
3. Have your card information ready:
   • 16-digit card number
   • 3-digit CVV code (on the back of your card)

Troubleshooting Activation

• Double-Check the Issuer: Ensure your card was issued by Gift Card Granny.
• Already Activated?: If your card is already activated, you will receive an error.
• Still Having Trouble?: If activation fails over the phone, try activating your card online.

After Your Card is Activated

Once your card is activated, you will hear a confirmation message along with your available balance. Your card is now ready for use!

• Debit Transactions: Remember the 4-digit PIN you selected if you plan to use your card for debit transactions.
• Credit Transactions: You can also run your card as a credit when paying.
