    Best Buy is always running promotions where you can get this refill card at a discounted price (20%) when you purchase a SIM card or phone. Great to purchase this to pay your Cricket bill!

    You have to pay your bill to keep your service going, buying this card allows you save 20% if you were to buy a cricket phone with it too and you don't even have to pay an upgrade fee...

    This was convenient for me to pick this up along with my new Samsung phone I purchased at the same time. Does what it's suppose to and it's nice that Best Buy now carries Cricket phones. I love Best Buy.

    At first I felt that the phone and the cricket plan was great! After some time I grew frustrated with how slow calls were being connected and recently I sent a text to my girlfriend. Apparently she sent me a text ten minutes earlier but I didn't receive it until after I sent mine.

    Good deal when on sale. Same old problem with bestbuy when you order online. They ship them Not activated so in order to use them you need to call best buy to activate them.

    Starting new cell phone service is usually no fun but the discounted airtime card bundles that best buy fairly regularly offers takes a lot of the sting out of the potential frustration.

    I purchased this refill card in a combo with a phone. Found out that this card wasn't activated before being shipped out to me, therefore it was useless.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Cricket is one of the best MVNO no contract carriers, with AT&T cellular coverage. Cheap plans with many GBs of LTE data and discounts get better with multiple lines on the account.

    Purchased with package deal giving 20% off, turns out cheaper than face value even after paying tax. Put code into my cricket app payment page and the credit showed up instantly.

    Using cricket has lowered my phone bill. Buying the card at best buy helps me keep building rewards. Only bad thing is the added taxes on the card when bought in the store.

    I have NEVER been able to enter the numbers from more than one card AND get credited for both, on a single phone call. I've ALWAYS had to make a second call and re-enter the number for the second card. Other than that, I've always gotten them to work.

    Cricket is a great low cost phone service. this Cricket service is owned by AT&T service. And any locked or unlocked AT&T phone can work on the Cricket service.
