Activate a Gift Card

This transaction activates an Ernex Gift Card and allows the card to be used as payment for Purchases.

IMPORTANT: To control usage of new Ernex Gift Cards, activate new gift cards ONLY at the time they are purchased (e.g., do not activate a batch of cards ahead of time.) Gift cards are essentially cash once they are activated.

This transaction can also add an additional dollar value to gift cards that can be reloaded after they are activated.
