For security purposes we require all gift cerfiticates to be activated, simply by entering the certificate number and choosing a secret question and answer.  This question will be asked when you redeem your certificate.  The answer must match EXACTLY as you enter it today.  This will prevent others from using your certificate so be sure to choose a question that only you will know the answer to.  Please print the confirmation page (which will include your secret answer) and KEEP THIS INFORMATION PRIVATE and TREAT IT LIKE CASH. 

THERE IS NO WAY TO RECOVER YOUR SECURITY ANSWER IF YOU LOOSE IT.
