I heard that the card packs at the stores are activated individually before being put together in the package is this true

also does anyone know of a place that tends to activate before shelving ive heard of that too

I don't think so, that would mean people who just take them and activate them... Like you're probably going to do lol.

Don't be a thief. If you do I hope you get caught.

No. Cards are not activated until individually scanned at the register.

I believe the three cards are all linked to the barcode on the outside package. Once that exterior code is scanned, then the cards are activated.

That's exactly right I work at Walmart and that's how we do it there's a single barcode to activate all three of them at once

I don't wanna even attempt stealing codes. They don't cost much anyway. I've been wondering though.

Couldn't someone just buy a cash register or someone gets hooked up with one and could use that as an activator? or (which sounds like the answer) The registers are updated with the new codes that are shipped in. So any old registers can't activate them

If you're going to be a thief don't steal microsoft cards smfh. I don't approve of stealing but you're trying to steal stuff so you can go probably buy COD DLC's. :hilarious:

P.S Hope you get caught

Back when there where Microsoft points you could do this don't know about now that they switched to virtual currency. Either way your Xbox isn't worth going to jail over so just buy them kid

They are activated once they are scanned at the register. There is an option when scanning them that gives the cashier the ability to activate the card for use.

They are added at the register like every other gift card. It's simple. Register activates it. Has always been like this always will be.

Are you guys serious like cmon now all I see is "Hope you get caught" what if he was just curious to know if that was the case no need to jump to conclusions thinking he is going to steal Xbox cards that's like if someone asked "Hey when will you be going to work tomorrow?" you then reply "Stalker" when they just asked to know if they could talk to you about something important. so chill

I work retail and I just scanned a 3 pack as well as all memberships / points and it asked for activation, so that is false bud.
