Best Answer

If you really received it from on your bank, yes of activated. If you purchased at a store, or received in the mail, no, that is prepaid, which is sometimes safer especially when your shopping online. They can only take what you choose to put on that card. They are also reusable, & just about everyone accepts Visa, or MasterCard.
