    Gift Redemption Program is an independent rewards program for consumers "and is not affiliated. What I would like to know is how does this company even get the phone numbers from Best Buy????

    Didn't know what this was, I went to the link and it didn't load. Didn't expect it to be anything , this confirms it, it's a scam text. Whatever

    I received the same message from the same number I wish the U.S. government would address this issue. It's a simple main in the neck and general nuisance,  not to mention a waste of our hard earned monies!!

    I received the same text message. I happen to be going through Tulsa today. Perhaps I should stop by the address listed and claim my gift card!!!

    Just got the same message http://winner.cardsbestbuy.info/465506 although knew that if it was spam, my work computer would not allow me to go to the site and it didn't.  Then looked this up.  The only thing I think I've done differently in the last couple of days, because this came to my phone is put in an add with craigslist that had to be verified by phone.  Hesitated to do that, but did it anyway vs my computer and sure enough, spam came to my phone.
