Barclaycard Online Card Activation??

So I've just received a Barclaycard, purely to do a balance transfer on as part of their 0% offer. I took the card to work to activate it over the phone, but just before I did it I saw the mybarclaycard online account advertised in the paperwork, so I signed up for that first, thinking I would call and activate the card on my lunch.
So I set it up, went through and saw there was an option to do my balance transfer, thinking it would be easier to do it that way than over the phone I went through and did that, once I had it said my card had been activated as part of the process! - great I thought, until this morning when I receive an email saying I have not yet activated my Barclaycard and please call this number, blah blah blah. So has anyone else encountered this - is it activated or not?
I'm not too worried as I'm not going to use it for purchases but the balance transfer is still pending and I'm wondering if this is because the card is not active?
Thanks
