Feel free to send the extra one to me if it will help you sleep better at night.
* I'd probably make 1 (one and only one) attempt to have Best Buy resolve it.
I've been double credited before and both times been told to keep it. One was a check, though and I never cashed it and never had it turn up in unclaimed funds at the State Office for unclaimed funds.
Technically the addressed to you is correct, though.

I think I would mail it to the recipient. It isn't your money so you will not have lost anything but the cost of the envelope and stamp. They say karma comes around.

I think the person whose card it is would appreciate you forwarding it to them. It will probably takes weeks off their turn around time. If they call, BB will say they sent it, and they will say they never got it, and BB will say they sent it, on and on and on.
Bank the good Karma and pop the card in an envelope with a note. Let us know if they are nice enough to send you a thank you.

Buy toddler DVDs and donate them to a Christmas charity. Would that make you feel better?

Well, first of all, it was Pinto who had the angle/devil scene.
Thank you! I couldn't get past that sentence, as I was pretty sure it was his buddy, Pinto.
Back to the topic, Keep it, send it back, or destroy it.
Hope that helps! (

They person who didn't get the card will probably just complain to BB and get a new one, and the extra card will get voided.
I'd just destroy the card and not worry about it.
I agree.
Of course, in this scenario, if you give it to the 19 year old BB returns kid and he tries to use it, he will probably get fired.
Again let your conscience guide you
Seriously though, I would be surprised if using it didn't end up biting you on the @ss. I'd just destroy it and call it good. If you send it on to the real owner you will likely then create a moral dilemma for him or her if BB has already reissued one to them.

I'd like to just state my ethical superiority right here and in front of the whole MRF community by saying that if it were ME, I would return the card and on the way home from doing so, I'd give out 100 balloons to needy children, visit the local homeless shelter, but not before rescuing puppies about to be put down and before staying up all night at the leper colony bandaging wounds. But, again, that is just what I would do; you may be different.
