# Activate pending point bucket

> 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 now, 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.
