If I had not read the reviews......
I ordered 2 of these $25 Mastercard Gift cards and received the next day. I realized there was nothing stating the cards were activated.  They were purchased as Christmas gifts and I wanted to make sure they were usable and ensure there were no issues once the recipients went to use.  I immediately jumped online to look at reviews for help....If I hadn't read the reviews I would not have known you have to go online and register and add your name and address (creating a pin is optional). Once you register the card is activated and the available balance shows up. LOVE IT!!!! I thought I was going to have to argue with Amazon for a refund. I gave 4 stars and not 5 because Amazon should note in their description the card is activated once you receive the card.
Rating: 4 stars
