No way to know if it's activated unless you scratch for pin number
Purchased a Barnes and Noble gift card on Amazon through ACI gift cards.. I received no indication of activation.  You get a receipt of activation when you buy at a store. Also the denomination was preselected at $100<br />by Amazon but card received is any amount $15 to $500. I had to scratch off pin to verify the card was activated and for the right amount before I give as a gift. Amazon online receipt does not give a gift card number, a serial number or proof of activation. My card was active fortunately but this could go horribly wrong without proof of activation. Now the gift card is scratch revealing pin and cardboard cover is damaged. What a nice gift!
