No, you don't need to activate your card. Your card is already activated when it is ordered and can be used for online purchases straight away.
You can also add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and start using it before the physical card arrives in the mail.
First purchase with your physical card
The first time you use your physical card in a store, you need to:
Insert the card into the card terminal.
Enter your PIN code.
After that, you can also use contactless payments.
Find your PIN code
You can find your PIN code in the app under Cards → Card settings → View PIN.
The PIN code cannot be changed.
