Abstract
Systems and methods for indicating tampering of a stored value card. The systems generally include a stored value card having a first activation indicia, and a removable label having a second activation indicia and covering the first activation indicia. To activate the stored value card, the first and second activation indicia are scanned. The removable label is configured to render the second activation indicia unreadable and/or to provide visual evidence of tampering such that activation is not recommended.
