CAG forum and photo receipt. He has the receipt Whitney!

So here's something cool.

I went into the BestBuy on Roosevelt in Chicago, and saw that the three-packs of $10 eShop cards were listed as "free" for Black Friday.

I showed that to customer service, and they confirmed that the deal was legit: brave BB on Black Friday, get $30 in eShop credit for free (until they run out of cards). The CS guy had to penny it out manually, and he said it was one per customer, so this is very likely YMMV. But worth a shot! I'll probably try one or two other locations right now.

My best buy has had them "free" for like a month, I don't think anything was ever there.

TheSlySoul · Nov 28, 2014

I do not think any near me offer the three pack. Dang it!

jblank83 · Nov 28, 2014

Whaaaaaat?

fedexpeon · Nov 28, 2014

Free?
The hell, sigh...Might as well go out again.
I hate BF sometime, so much time and effort.

What is stopping you from just grabbing them all?

That would be horrible... but...

mgs2master2 · Nov 28, 2014

PensOwl · Nov 28, 2014

Seems incredibly YMMV, none at my best buy

They have to be activated at the register, I believe.
Otherwise the codes inside them don't do anything.

And if it's limited to one per customer, you'd have to make a lot of single trips and hope the persons behind the registers don't give a shit.

Limit 1 and they're no good until activated at the register

massoluk · Nov 28, 2014

Well shit, I thought me paying $42 each for $50 eshop card was a good deal.

Nathan_Drake · Nov 28, 2014

You cant pay me 30 bucks to face Best Buy on Black Friday. The parking lots are death traps. Not guarantee they are there anyways.

Oh you can check availability online and there are some near my home and near a Chipotle. Must resist.

How do you check the 3 pack?

EDIT: Damn, they have some near me. I wonder if it's really free. Guess I better get my boots on.

Mockingbird · Nov 28, 2014

If this exists anywhere in Los Angeles I'd be surprised.

Edit: I checked and all best buys have them in stock...but only some have them as free right?

RMI · Nov 28, 2014

ugh i was like 100 yards away from the Best Buy earlier today and didn't go in there. I'm not going out again today. Good get for those who can find them though.

Sakujou · Nov 28, 2014

first time hearing in my life, that cash is given out for free!=!=!!?!?

whats going on in the US!?

Hero of Legend · Nov 28, 2014

Anyone feeling like sparing some codes to a Canadian here who can't get these?

I can make some offers also, PM me if you'd like.

Alcoholikaust · Nov 28, 2014

shows the price- its the 30 dollar one-

Neo Dark · Nov 28, 2014

Do you think it's possible to order it online and then pick it up in store and when you do it might bounce the free discount?

It's most likely an in store offer only so check actual store and it probably will be free

wiibomb · Nov 28, 2014

Japanmanx3 · Nov 28, 2014

Damn I wish I weren't in a university town and actually near a Best Buy lol

NIGHT- · Nov 28, 2014

A store 20 min away has them. Should I call first?

wanders · Nov 28, 2014

You get the the deal if it shows that is free on the tag and your local laws allow for adjusting price mistakes

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
