I just activated it at the ATM. :)
Yeah...I would have done that but didn't realize the phone iteration would be so damn long. Then by the time I finished with the first one, I had to do the short route on the second one as an experiment...
Well, truth be told I called the 800 number first but momentarily forgot my PIN, so I couldn't activate it that time.
