# Activate Reward

> This endpoint activates the reward, transitioning reward state from available to active. For bonus points (also know as static rewards), this endpoint sets the reward state to used after activation (see [overview](/consumer/rewards/overview) for more information).

<Note>
  Please review proper request headers [here](/consumer/usage/headers).
</Note>

<Info>
  When a reward has `uses_dynamic_coupon_codes: true`, activating the reward will generate a unique coupon code from the associated coupon pool. The generated code will be returned in the `coupon_code` field of the response.
