Am I screwed "Proof of Purchase-wise?"

[AmbiguousNinja]

I can't find my receipt for my macbook pro ('11 from Best Buy) and I need a proof of purchase to send to apple. I have the serial but that doesn't count, is there anything else that would count as a "proof of purchase?" I'm constantly looking for the receipt.

Credit card statement?

Credit card statement?

That's a good idea but I'm not sure if  will accept it.

I cannot see why not, a credit card statement is also a legal proof of ID.

Call them, and tell them you can't find the receipt.

Your credit card transaction in combination with the serial number of you mbp should be enough.

PS: Call BestBuy and ask for a copy of your receipt.

I doubt BB will have a copy. Credit Card statement should work just fine. For future reference, if you buy from Apple store you can ask them to email you the receipt for a digital copy.

Actually no it's not. That statement does not prove who a person is. It is really only a supporting document, combined with other forms of ID.

Best Buy can provide another copy of the receipt, but they may charge for it.

What I started doing is taking a picture of my receipts with my iPhone, then cropping it. It's a great way to archive them for this sort of issue.

I bought a iPod classic from best buy a few years ago and this past winter had a issue. Went to best buy they asked for my name and phone number pulled the sales slip right up for me. And I asked what if I had no phone number on file they said search by CC number.

I googled it and sure enough I was lead to Best Buy's website and it said they would give me my receipt if I had the credit card that was used. Thanks!

wonder why they are asking for this? i just used my serial number and dates, also from BB. got my code instantly.

I stand corrected, good point.

Credit card. Look at your statement.

I was going to say, Best Buy keeps all purchases that you make in a system for at least two years. It's kinda creepy, but it is useful when you want to get a receipt from them.
