# Activate a pending points bucket

> 
<Warning>

<Badge color="yellow">BETA endpoint</Badge>

This is a work-in-progress documentation of a BETA endpoint. The parameters, fields, request and response bodies, and other data may be subject to change. If you want to share feedback or improvements, contact [Voucherify support](https://www.voucherify.io/contact-support) or your Technical Account Manager.

</Warning>

Manually activates a pending points bucket before its scheduled activation date,
creating a `PENDING_POINTS_ACTIVATED` card transaction (status `PENDING`, processed
asynchronously). No request body.

The program and member must be in `ACTIVE` status, the card definition must have
pending points enabled, the bucket must be in `PENDING` status, and the bucket's
activation date must be in the future (423 otherwise). Returns 404 when the
program, member, card or bucket does not exist.
