The Best Buy in Charlottesville is where Chris spends yet more of his tugboat money on games, PSN cards and other PS3 accessories. On 22 September 2010, Clyde Cash leaked a zip file loaded with Chris's Best Buy invoices. Much like his sex store purchases, Chris appears to prefer buying things which involve a discount or promotion.

The grand total price of these documented items is $1041.66. $360 of this was spent on PSN cards, $59.97 on Wii points, and $17.98 on Netflix gift cards. The invoices show that Chris spent around $776 at Best Buy during 2009, although around $200 of this in unaccounted for - and he may have spent more as it is not known when he opened his rewards account. Chris has saved $75 of your tax dollars through discounts, which does little to redeem his largely frivolous spending habits.

There is a record for what appears to be a cancelled transaction on 9 February 2010, for a $19.99 Nintendo Wii 2,000 Points Card. It's possible that Chris's credit card was declined on this occasion, and the fact he didn't purchase anything from Best Buy for nearly a month after would indicate that this was the case.

Chris's dealings with Best Buy support

Included in the leaked documents were the contents of a support email Chris sent to Best Buy, regarding a "10 Dollar Certificate" which had been redeemed without his consent. While Chris got a pretty standard response to his email, we once again get a glimpse about what happens you come between a manchild and his free money.

I had just logged onto My RewardZone account on the 21st of December to check on it, only to find my Points had been redeemed for a 10 Dollar Certificate WITHOUT my approval or Personal Action. It shows that the points were redeemed and the certificated printed on the 20th; I did not log in on the 20th at all. I think someone got into my account and redeemed my points and printed the certificate.I WANT MY 10 DOLLAR CERTIFICATE!Please respond quickly. Thank you.

Christian,

I apologize for the confusion. Your account is set up to automatically issue a certificate when you account reaches 250 points so it issued a $10 certificate automatically on Sunday. There is a 3-5 wait before the certificates can be printed so they will be ready on Friday.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Thank you for contacting Best Buy Reward Zone Have a good day
