I put 468$ on this card, thinking i would have no problems if i needed to use it online or even at a atm. Went to activate it and they told me i had to email them a picture of my social security card and ID, SERIOUSLY?! They are overseas and all is sent online, i dont think so! Great way to get ur identity stolen, i have bought gift cards before and never ever had anything like this, when i refused to send them that they said i could activate the card with restrictions, in store only with a pin? Can't take my money back off it, can't pay online bills, nothing! They certainly didnt have a problem taking my money! TOTAL SCAM, DON'T TRUST THEM!

Netspend offers prepaid debit cards, not gift cards, so the activation process is a little different.
