This post falls in the “I want to activate my gift cards but I don’t want to wait for the activation code letter to arrive in the mail” category. Let’s say you ordered 4 $200 Visa Gift Cards from Staples.com and they all show up at the same time. Great! But.. what do you do if the activation letter (filled with the activation codes) doesn’t arrive at the same time? Not to worry, you can activate all the gift cards over the phone without the activation codes.
Since Staples.com gift card orders *supposedly* no longer pay out to online shopping portals, this will probably be my last Staples.com gift card order, until something changes (see Frequent Miler’s post). On the back side of the letter that was attached to your Visa Gift Card is a phone number to call (1-866-357-7391) to activate your gift cards over the phone.
