Step 1: Get Ready – Your VPP Card and Essential Information
Hello there, future saver! Before we jump into the activation process, let's make sure you have everything you need on hand. This will make the entire process smooth and quick.
A. Locate Your Physical VPP Card
Your H-E-B VPP card should have arrived in the mail shortly after your hire date. Make sure you have this physical card in front of you. It contains vital information we'll need for activation.
B. Gather Key Information
You'll need a few pieces of personal and card-related information. Have these ready:
Your H-E-B VPP Card Number: This is the long number on the front of your card.
The Security Code (CVV): This is typically a 3- or 4-digit number on the back of your card.
Your PeopleSoft Employee Number: This is your unique H-E-B employee ID. If you're unsure, you can usually find this on your pay stubs or through PartnerNet.
Your https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com Account Credentials: If you already have an H-E-B online account for curbside, delivery, or general shopping, make sure you remember your username and password. If not, don't worry, we'll guide you through creating one!
Step 2: Choose Your Activation Method – Online, App, or Phone
H-E-B offers several convenient ways to activate your VPP card. You can pick the method that best suits you!

If you have an existing https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com account, you'll be asked to log in. This step is crucial as it links your VPP card to your digital H-E-B profile, allowing you to use the digital barcode in the H-E-B app.
If you don't have an https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com account, you'll likely be given the option to create one. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your account, which usually involves providing your email, creating a password, and confirming your details.

After entering your card details and linking your account (or creating a new one), you might need to confirm your PeopleSoft employee number to fully register your card as a VPP card. Follow any remaining prompts to finalize the activation. You should receive a confirmation message.
B. Activation via the Imprint App (for H-E-B Credit Card, may also apply to VPP)
While the primary focus of the Imprint app is typically for the H-E-B Credit Card, some sources suggest it can also be used for VPP activation.
