Best Buy
Best Buy 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.

There is an invoice 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 was 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.

| 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 |
