I think those short codes are considered "premium" text messages, no? So you would get charged even if you have a text plan.

That's not completely true. I text my radio station with one of these 5 digit codes all the time and have never had charges. You would only get charged if you don't have unlimited send/receive texting.
Premium text messages are those scams like horoscopes and sports scores that charge you for every update.

I am with Bell and even though I have unlimited SMS and MMS, I still get charged for text messages such as this.

Source? I can't find it on Google anywhere. I'm a bit skeptical.

The promotion will work if you buy something else on your visit, or go back to buy coffee for actual dollars. Considering this is RFD, my guess is no! :cheesygri
