Best Answer

I have received my first credit card recently. I did not call to activate my card, instead I went to the card company's site and activated it online. But I would imagine that if on the phone, they'd ask you a short series of security questions such as your social security number, mother's maiden name, etc. before allowing it to become active. There's always the net. If you prefer not to talk to a live representative, like myself, I'd recommend checking out the website of the credit card you've received. The process is just as fast, and there's no annoying telemarketer to deal with! Hope this helps.

No, in order to actually use the credit card you need at activate it. But many years ago when they just sent you the cards, I was 18 years (this was 1986) I got a Lazurus credit card, I never used it, just hung on it "in case". Well I just bought a house (2004) and that account is still open..lol, though there are no charges the loan officer said I had to call to have it closed out because they considered it revolving credit..lol
