I can't either. Same exact thing is happening to me. Have you received your card reader yet? I'm still waiting for mine.

Word. Second one too- still isn’t working. They just hang up on me when I call CS. Tragic. Tried changing my email to see if that works. We will see . Doubtful .

I am trying to activate my square card, but keep getting the following error message when I enter the confirmation code. "

Confirmation code has expired. Please click “Resend email” below."

I have clicked on resend confirmation code 10 times and get the same error message.
