The process of submitting a claim was straightforward, and they replaced the battery seamlessly. Not only did they cover the full price once I provided proof of purchase, but they also sent two checks to ensure everything was right.
Communicating with their customer service was equally pleasant; I had the opportunity to use both chat and phone options. Although the initial impersonal chat felt different due to my old-school preference for voice calls, it still worked efficiently, offering a learning curve worth embracing. Eventually, talking to an actual representative along the way provided a clear resolution, and I appreciated the mix of technology with personal touch.
The claim was attended to swiftly and the resolution was beneficial. From initial contact to the solution, their service exceeded my expectations, confirming my belief in the value of opting for an Allstate Protection Plan again when purchasing something valuable.

I purchase the Allstate protection plan as often as possible as long as I feel the price is reasonable. Just recently, I ordered a part that was $20 with a $12 protection plan. I figured, "Well, that's just over half of it, so I'll skip it." The claim submission process with Allstate is really easy. The one time that it got a little bit complex was when I was dealing with a cellphone that just got brain dead on me. They asked me to go to an in-network cellphone repair place and the address that I received from their list was a warehouse-type place. Then, they gave me another address in a mall that was farther from my area and they told me that they couldn't help.
There are a couple of different letdowns. Initially, they told me to contact Google because it was a Google pixel phone and get some kind of paperwork statement from them saying it's out of warranty. The phone is several years old. It's clearly out of warranty, but I went through that hassle. So, it was pretty time-consuming, even travel-wise. Ultimately, I gave them all the information of all the rejections that I got from trying to repair it and they said, "Okay. Well, then we'll write you a check." Everything else gave me absolutely no extra worker issues.
When I purchase my warranty, I have the option to come back within 30 days. I might have done that one time but usually, I confidently just purchase it as I'm getting the product because I don't trust myself to remember to come back in 30 days. It's very valuable because when it comes to electronics, especially nowadays, you never know what to expect, even if it's like a brand name like Apple and things wear out and the consumer doesn't know how long it's meant to last. So, I love that Allstate offered like two and even three-year protection plans because that's when things start to happen.

Was having small, dark particles on clothes and in tub after wash cycle completed. Ran 3, hot-water, cleaning cycles with Allfresh which only seemed to make it worse (more particles). Tried to get the bottom washer plate off to look for crud underneath but was unable to remove bolt. Contacted Allstate Warranty online for help, describing the problem and what I had done. Response (email) was almost immediate. Local repair service contacted me the next day, scheduled an appointment for a tech to come and further diagnose/repair the problem. He was able to remove the bottom tub plate, finding a great deal of scum needing to be cleaned out, although he said compared to others he had seen, mine was fairly clean. No other problems were found. But...
After he left, I ran two loads of white and still found particles on clothes and in tub - although significantly less. Notified Allstate Warranty the problem had not been resolved. They're prompting me now for follow-up details (detailed problem description, pix, etc). Finally opted to run two cleaning cycles using industrial grade (30%) vinegar and baking soda (suggested by the repairman), which helped. I'm no longer seeing any particles on clothes or in tub.
After running one more load of whites and seeing no particles, will notify Allstate the problem seems to be solved. A benefit of having the serviceman come is that the bolt holding the bottom tub plate on is not as tight - I can now remove it, so if the problem reappears, I'll be able to look under the plate to see if another crud/scum buildup needs to be cleaned out. The response from Allstate/Square Trade was exceptionally good - immediate response and good scheduling to get a repairman to me. Additionally, I'll follow the repairman's suggestion to use Allfresh tub cleaner weekly, and the 30% vinegar/baking solution, perhaps monthly. Also, my dealings with the repair company, Chambers Services (Illinois), was straightforward, without hassle. The repairman was pleasant and thorough, and answered all of my questions. My LG washer had no mechanical problems beyond my possible failure to clean it often enough. It was a good experience overall.

The Fitbit Luxe quit charging completely and started doing some strange things. I changed chargers and that didn't help. But I've had one before, and they only last about three years. It's just the product. The little batteries, which are small, can't be replaced. I tried submitting the ticket to Allstate online, and it’s hard to navigate unless you have a person to do it for you. The website wasn’t that easy. I just wanted to speak to a representative and I finally got to a person who could help me. I spent 30 minutes with him and we thought we had it done. Then he said their system was down and I would have to call back. I said it took me forever to get to him and I can’t call back. But we got cut off.
I tried again and got hold of another person. She was wonderful. She walked me through it and took care of everything. She asked if I wanted her to handle it for me and I said, "Absolutely.” And she did. So, the second person was a big help and did everything for me. I got a partial refund on the purchase price that I had paid for the Fitbit. I would have liked to have gotten the full price, but I'm satisfied with the amount that they paid me. When you purchase something and you are offered an Allstate protection plan, get it, because whatever you're gonna get is going to wear out. This isn't the first time that I have had an Allstate protection plan and it paid off. I've had it with an iron before, and when I ruined it, Allstate paid for that. So, I have learned through the years that things are going to wear out or tear up, and it pays to have an Allstate protection plan.

I filed a claim for my son's laptop. He sat on the laptop. I went online and started the process. It was fairly easy. But I don't like that if you don't complete it and you have to stop for some reason, you have to go back and start over. Also, it annoyed me that if you're having a hard time with assigning the serial number, there's no option to say, ‘Hey, I don't know the serial number.” But for the most part, the process is pretty simple. Another thing is that I would like to have more access to be able to get to customer support. It seems like you have to search and search for a number to be able to get to customer service. It's not readily available. When you're trying to say I need more help or something like that, it's always chat. People don't always wanna chat with the bots.
The outcomes are good when I file a claim. I'm usually satisfied with the outcome. But in a lot of cases with some of the items, they'll try to have you take the item somewhere to be repaired and then they reimburse you. I don't like that. All in all, it's good to purchase the plans. I told a coworker that on certain appliances, they should purchase the protection plan through Allstate. In a lot of the Allstate plans, accident is included. So, when I'm spending a lot of money on certain things for my son, it's just a must that I have to get the protection plan because 9 times out of 10, something is gonna happen where he accidentally breaks it. If I'm spending a lot of money on an ice machine or small kitchen appliances, the protection plan is something that you should get. It's worth the money.

I put the protection plan for a Fitbit. The Fitbit was actually my wife's. It’s got touch screen. You just swipe it to go this way and that way, and it does different things. But it stopped responding to swipes, so it wasn't usable. I sent in a claim to Allstate and they were good. It was an interesting situation because, technically, by the calendar, based on when I bought it, it was still under warranty with the manufacturer. That was the initial response, and so I reached out to the manufacturer. Since I bought it on eBay, according to the manufacturer, somebody else bought it a year or two. So they had it for a year or two before they sold it to me on eBay.
Initially, using the help system, the online automated system that Allstate has, they said, “Oh, it's not covered because it's in the first year. And it should be covered by the manufacturer.” So, I had to get through the automated system and get to a representative. Once I spoke to a representative, they understood what happened and the claim went through. So, it all worked out fine. I received a check in compensation. The warranty paid for the item that we covered it for.

My wife was washing a load on our LG washing machine. A sheet got stuck up under the agitator and when we got it out, the washing machine wouldn't drain. The water would sit about halfway in the tank. I called Allstate and they sent a repairman. He did a test and it seemed it was working fine. It was draining. Then when he left, my wife tried to put a load of clothes in the washing machine. Every time it would go to the spin cycle, it would make a loud noise, like something was loose inside the machine.
The repairman came back out and changed the agitator in it. He pulled the back cover off and he looked up under the machine to see if there was something that was causing it to make the noise. He couldn't find anything and he told me if it continued to do it, to call him back. It was like they were in a hurry to get to the next customer. They weren't trying to see what the issue at hand was. I got discouraged for him coming out twice and I'm still having the issue with the machine. I also had to wait a week then another week.
I called Allstate and told them I was not satisfied with the LG product, that I've been having the issue for over a month, and that my wife had to take clothes to the local laundromat to wash clothes. They said they'd put in a second claim and the decision that they made was they could either give me another machine or I could get another credit at Home Depot. I told them I'm not satisfied with the machines we got from Home Depot and that I wanted to buy one from another location. They gave me a refund of what I paid for the machine and for the tax. I asked if they were gonna come and pick up the washing machine and they said no.
As far as helping me out, seeing me through and doing what they said they were gonna do, I was satisfied with Allstate and I would recommend them to a friend. They were prompt. I talked to the representatives, and they followed through with what they said. It got to the point where they told me, “If you don't get an email today, call us back tomorrow.” Allstate is a good insurance and I was satisfied with the price too.

I purchased phone protection through Mint Mobile, which is administered by Allstate/SquareTrade. Unfortunately, dealing with them over my claim has been an incredibly frustrating experience. My phone was damaged, so I filed a claim and went through the entire process they required. The claim was eventually cleared and accepted, and I paid the required deductible. I was then told that Allstate would send the necessary information to the repair shop within 24 hours so the repair could move forward. That did not happen.
After 24 hours, the repair shop still had no email, no claim information, and no file for my phone. I had to repeatedly contact Allstate/SquareTrade and go back and forth with them just to try to get the process moving. What should have been a straightforward insurance claim turned into an exhausting process of contacting different people, explaining the same situation repeatedly, and waiting for information that I had already been told was being sent.
I have saved the emails and documentation from these interactions because there has been so much back-and-forth just to get a claim that was ALREADY approved actually processed. At this point, I have escalated the matter through Mint Mobile, filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and submitted a complaint to the California Department of Insurance with supporting documentation.
My experience has been extremely disappointing. I purchased this protection specifically so that dealing with a damaged phone would be easier, but instead I have spent a tremendous amount of time trying to get Allstate/SquareTrade to follow through on what I was told would happen. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this protection plan to research the claims process and read customer experiences before purchasing. My review is based on my own experience and the documentation I have retained.

You are always skeptical of these extended warranties. I can tell you Allstate works. I bought a $500 tv from Target with 2 year warranty and extended the warranty 1 year through Allstate. 2 years 7 months the TV quit. I contacted Allstate and answered some questions. They needed a copy of the receipt so always photograph your receipt and save it. A few more emails and then I had to call tech. The tech had me do some trouble shooting and said my tv was kaput. They replaced it with a $500 TV from Best Buy 3 days later. It took about 7 days from first contact to unpacking a new TV. I will use Allstate again.

I always get the protection plan when I make a purchase and this is the first time I have had an issue. I called because my tv wouldn't turn on, a representative named Ivan took my call he was already mad, rude, and disrespectful when he answered the call. Ivan immediately said they don't cover physical damage and I stated to him the TV does not have physical damage. He asked me to hold while he looked over my account when he came back to the call he stated that I told him the TV had physical damage and proceeded to argue with me when I said I didn't tell him that the TV was damaged. I asked to speak to a supervisor and Ivan told me that he is the supervisor, so I requested a different supervisor and Ivan said that he is the only supervisor.
I requested his supervisor/operator id number and he said that he didn't have to tell me anything. I reminded him that the call was being recorded and that supervisors are suppose to de-escalate situations not escalate them like he was doing, then Ivan asked for my email address and said to follow the instructions in the email and someone would get back to me. I received the email and sent photos as requested and immediately the response was that physical damage was not covered. I asked by email where the physical damage was located because there is none and my question was not answered.
I called Allstate/Square trade back and I asked the representative where the alleged damage was located the rep said the top right corner then he placed me on hold and when he returned to the call he said the damage was at the lower middle of the screen. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he gave the phone to Ivan. Ivan said he wasn't going to talk to me and hung up in my face again. I just want Allstate/ square trade to honor the protection plan that I paid for and to get rid of Ivan because he has horrible customer service and communication skills.

My gas range is 3 years old and broke (nothing is made well anymore) just before the extended service plan I purchased. Called Allstate and it was VERY difficult to get to an actual human to create a claim. Finally got through and scheduled a repair and was told the part would be shipped before my appointment. It was not (there was PLENTY of time), so I had to reschedule the repair to a Saturday, and from a 2 hour window to a 4 hour window. Repair seemed to work initially, but oven is again not working. Called Allstate again and was told I would get an email in 24-48 hours. 72 hours later, I called to check and they told me a new timeframe, within a day.
It came 96 hours later, on a Friday now, so I can't call until Monday. This is what the email said: "Please contact your technician to reschedule your repair: IB-SOLUTIONS 346-241-9909." That's it, nothing about parts, pretty sparse. I waited 96 hours for that email. I called. They had no information about this subsequent claim and told me I needed to call Allstate back. I'm done. Not going through the phone tree again.

I have a 5yr warranty on a TV that is giving me wifi issues that make it unusable. This is a known issue with this TV, and I have been through every possible fix, including those from LG and Allstate. I am a very tech-capable person and spent months working on this, reviewing every post about this issue (there are hundreds/thousands) to no avail, and only then did I make a warranty claim. I file a claim online, they send me an email with troubleshooting tips and IMMEDIATELY close the claim. I did this 3 times in all. I tried to call the "if this does not fix it #", even though they did close the claim. It is an AI answering system that says can we text you at the number you are on to continue? I said yes and never got a text. Just one stall after another. I have not found a way to talk to a human. What a waste of time and money.

Sent my Roomba i3 out for repair. They sent it back. It still didn't work. I sent it back to them because it still had the same problems. They made up a story about the warranty being voided. When I said I had pictures of the vacuum that proved I didn't void the warranty they changed their story and said that the previous repairs exceeded the vacuum's purchase price. All they did was change the battery in the first repair and claimed that that cost over $200.
Hello john Karichkowsky,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction with the consumer’s experience.
SquareTrade does our best to assist all our consumers and provide efficient and effective resolutions. In this case, the reported issue involved fecal contamination, which is not a covered failure under the terms and conditions of the protection plan. As a result, the item was not eligible for repair through our standard claims process, and repair services could not be performed. However, after a thorough review of the circumstances, we made a consumer service exception and approved a full reimbursement for the plan.
In this case, we were happy to speak with the consumer and provide additional support regarding the consumer's claim. We hope to provide better experience in the future.

Had the clothes dryer been fixed on the first visit I would have been happy. But after initially explaining that the dryer issue was that it wouldn't power on, they sent a pulley and belt that controls the turning of the drum. That was even after I called them back after the parts arrived and informed them that they were the wrong parts. The technician showed up days later for the appointment and of course could not fix the dryer. So then we waited about another 10 days for parts to arrive and for our new repair appointment. Very frustrating that the employee on the initial call did not listen at all to what the issue was and then totally ignore the follow up call about the wrong parts. The technician who showed up, Max, was very good even though he spoke very little English.

The repair techs themselves - and their company - were great. The Allstate/SquareTrade side was terrible, and it took almost 3 weeks to get my dryer fixed. They knew the symptoms of the issue and shipped incorrect parts that had nothing to do with the electrical issue (they shipped parts for door hinges and mechanical failures - the unit wouldn't power up and it would have been either a fuse, switch or a control board and they shipped exactly zero electrical parts). Then, they closed this ticket with my dryer still not fixed, and didn't create another ticket to address my issue for 3 days, causing more delays. Then, they didn't ship the part to do the actual repair until 4pm the day before the repair was supposed to take place and CANCELLED my appointment with the repair company - despite knowing that the repair company doesn't come this way except on Wednesdays each week (I'm rural).
Luckily, I was able to call the repair company and give them package tracking showing the part would be able to arrive before their techs got to my house, so they changed the schedule to have the tech come to the house after the delivery was made. All in, this was the least well-run operation I've ever dealt with, and they need to dig into the way their processes work and what they ship for repair parts vs reported symptoms and get their systems right.

If this is related to my refrigerator, the company was not very proactive or responsive. I understand that there are steps to fix the broken appliance.

I bought an expensive pool cleaner and got the Allstate protection plan offered and I'm so glad I did. It had a defect and broke beyond repair, so I filed a claim. The process of filing, returning the item and being sent a refund check were all easy and quick. The one negative is that the item cost as well as the cost of the new protection plan went up, so I was $130 out of pocket to buy the replacement and a new protection plan. It's worth it, but I do wish the plan refunded the full replacement amount of the same item at its current cost.

I would strongly caution anyone considering a Home Depot Protection Plan through Allstate. Our experience has been incredibly frustrating and has made this protection plan feel like a complete waste of money. Our refrigerator initially had an ice maker issue. It took time to get someone out, and the first repair did not fix it. They then determined the motherboard might be the problem and replaced it. That is when a minor problem became a major one. Before their repair, we had a working refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker problem. After they replaced the motherboard, the refrigerator stopped cooling completely. We have lights and water, but both the refrigerator and freezer are warm. Their attempted repair turned an ice maker issue into a completely unusable refrigerator. We have now been dealing with this for approximately THREE WEEKS.
Last week, we were told the situation was being "escalated" and we should hear something by the beginning of this week. No phone call. No email. No follow-up. We called three more times and finally reached someone, only to be told they are "escalating" it AGAIN. At this point, "escalated" appears to mean nothing. Even worse, there seems to be little or no documentation between calls. We repeatedly have to explain what happened and what previous representatives told us. This is exactly why people PAY for protection plans. Three weeks without a refrigerator, endless phone calls, no communication and repeated escalations with no resolution is unacceptable. We didn't start with a broken refrigerator. We started with a broken ICE MAKER. Their repair left us without a refrigerator at all. I don't need another escalation. I need Allstate to actually resolve the problem.

Many challenges offered once I filed a claim. Thanks via a Costco tech I was able to talk to a claim team person which I explained everything to. After that It was extremely difficult being able to talk to a claim team person because the “SO CALLED” direct line was controlled by A.I. And they would only let me communicate with a live text only person. This was disastrous. They wanted me to explain in writing again. And ask question using letter only for words which meant nothing to me. Therefore, I answered that I would call Costco tech and have them transfer me to a live person which they did.
After talking a few times with live people via Costco tech they had me turn on and off the TV via remote and then using the TN on off. None worked. They then set up a time for one of their techs to come and was going to send parts directly and would give me info of who and when the part would arrive. I stated they need to deliver whatever they were sending to my front door only and not outside of my garage or patio gate and fence. I never received anything probably because a little while later they emailed and said they would replace the TV instead and gave me 3 options. Luckily I print screened it. I sent them and email and said I was leaving and wouldn’t be back until the August 31st. They acknowledged. Then sent another email which had 2 options. Then I returned I called via Costco tech and said which one I wanted from my first option. I was told they would talk to the team. They sent an email with model number only.
Well..it had all the correct model number and letter except one. I called LG tech and was told that model is older and doesn’t support Xbox which I have. I emailed back and said again I want the original one that I had already stated. They emailed back and stated the model number I had when requesting and I agreed the that TV and my address was correct. I finally received the new TV and hired the same person to open the box and install it. (LG repair person that I paid to come and see what the problem was originally) Very poor in communication and them trying to change what I had originally wanted from the first selection. My suggestion is to either replace or totally retrain your warranty staff. Ps I did copy this

I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with how Allstate handled my claim. We had an issue with one piece of our living room furniture that we purchased through Wayfair, and I was really impressed with how quickly and professionally everything was taken care of. Even though there was only a problem with one of the three pieces, Allstate replaced the entire set. Since the original set was no longer available, they gave us the opportunity to choose a replacement ourselves, which we really appreciated. Once we made our selection, the new furniture was delivered within just a few days.
I also had several questions throughout the process, and every time I reached out, they were quick to respond and very helpful. I never felt like I was being passed around or left wondering what was happening. It's not often that you can say you had a really positive experience with an insurance claim, but I truly did. Allstate made what could have been a frustrating situation incredibly easy, and I really appreciate the way they handled everything from beginning to end.

Very disappointing warranty and repair experience. We purchased this washer from Home Depot four years ago. Last year, it broke down, and we went through the warranty process. It took about a week to get the washer repaired, which, while inconvenient, wasn't unreasonable. Unfortunately, our washer broke down again two weeks ago, and we are now going into our third week without a working washing machine. A repair technician has been to our home twice, but the problem still has not been fixed.
The biggest frustration has been the warranty process. Every time we contact the warranty company, it takes a minimum of two business days just to receive a response. My husband has now had to miss two days of work waiting for repair appointments, only to still not have a functioning washer. We have two teenage boys who are involved in multiple sports, so you can imagine how much laundry we go through. Being without a washer for three weeks has been incredibly difficult, and the cost of using a laundromat adds up quickly.
At this point, I would gladly pay GE directly to come repair the machine rather than continue dealing with this warranty process. What should be a straightforward repair has turned into weeks of frustration, missed work, additional expenses, and absolutely no resolution. What is perhaps most frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be any way to speak directly with someone who has the authority to actually resolve the situation. The people answering the warranty calls can only tell us that someone will get back to us, and then we wait another two business days. We purchased this washer expecting it to last much longer than four years, and we purchased the warranty expecting that if something went wrong, we would have support. Instead, we have been without a washer for nearly three weeks with no clear resolution in sight. This experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.
I hope Home Depot/Allstate will reconsider how these warranty claims are handled and provide customers with a better solution when repeated repair attempts aren't resolving the problem. I will NEVER purchase another protection plan that says Allstate in the name. It's unacceptable. I even included a picture of all the boxes of parts just sitting on top of our washer waiting to be fixed.
