Thank you for all the tips... I read it and re-read it then tried to buy it! The register would not activate it. Thank goodness the cashier noticed because they already charged my card. Then I held up the line for about 10 minutes while the manager tried to figure it out then issue the refund. embarrassing!
In the end I'm glad I tried because I would have fretted over it with "non-buyers remorse" for the next year! lol
