A method of authorizing the activation of a card holder's spending card is provided. The method includes receiving a request from the card holder to authorize the activation of the spending card and then requesting identity verification of the card holder. Following the identity verification request, the method includes obtaining a geographic location of the card holder. After determining the geographic location of the card holder, the method may include temporarily activating the deactivated spending card and instructing the card holder to conduct at least one transaction with the spending card at at least one selected location, wherein the selected location is selected based on the geographic location of the card holder. Spending card activity may be monitored to determine whether the at least one transaction was completed, and, based on whether the at least one transaction was completed, the activation of the spending card may be authorized.
