Is your Milestone card activation not working? Here are quick fixes for the most common problems.

Top 5 reasons activation fails

1. Wrong card info

Check your 16-digit card number and CVV. Even one wrong digit will cause an error.

2. Wrong personal info

Your SSN, birth date, and ZIP code must match what you used to apply.

3. Slow internet

A slow or dropped connection can stop the page from loading. Try a different Wi-Fi or use mobile data.

4. Browser issues

Old browsers can break the form. Update to the newest Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

5. Site is busy

Sometimes the site gets a lot of traffic. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
