How does activating the AusPost VISA gift cards work? Does that happen when I purchase it or does the recipient need to do it online? I want to give one as a gift to a relative who is computer irliterate so it would only be a suitable gift if they could open the card and head to the shops to spend it. Otherwise I'll just get them a Myer card but being able to shop wherever they like would be nice (even though there is the extra $5.95 card fee)

The visa card needs to be activated online.
However alternatively, the woolworths single load prepaid mastercard which can be loaded with any amount ($20 to $1000) plus an extra $2.95 card fee gets activated at checkout by the staff and can be used instantly at shops (after signing the back) or online.
