Do you have a receipt that shows the card was activated? I’m told it may be at or near the top of the receipt or on a separate receipt that says activated.


Do you have a receipt showing the purchase?


Do you have the physical card and all the characters are visible and not scratched off?


Do you have all the packaging the card came in?


Do not share any of it here. This is a public forum.
