    We bought an Allstate plan for my husband's massage chair. When I was doing a massage on it, all of a sudden, it made this loud noise and something fell on the tile. Then it stopped rolling on the back part and the heat didn’t stop. I submitted a claim with Allstate and it took a couple of minutes, then I had to wait two weeks for the guy to come out to look at the chair. When the guy came out, he opened it up and said that the axle broke. He took the back part out, took pictures, and told me that they would get back with me within five to seven days. Apparently, the roller balls, the bar that the thing sits on, cracked and were bent. The claims process was very complicated because I had to keep calling back and now I'm still in the process.

    Last week, they emailed me about trying a comparable unit, because the one they tried to send me was beige, which was going to show dirt. So, they told me I could go to Wayfair, Amazon, or Walmart to choose one. But I'm having a hard time now trying to find a replacement chair with all the specifications of the one that we have. All in all, I paid 999 for it. But the ones that got the same specifications cost up to 1,169. I ordered our chair at Walmart in June 2024 and the warranty is until June 2028. While I'm trying to find a new chair now, I'm also concerned about what's going to happen with the old chair because that's heavy.

    Despite that, I would encourage others to get the warranty because it's an investment and anything that's over $100 is worth it to get covered with the warranty. I also had an Allstate warranty on a luggage that we used on a cruise a couple of months ago. It got damaged and Allstate sent me a brand new luggage set. Overall, you'll be able to get the same item or better with Allstate. So, to pay an extra $15, you ain't losing anything.

      The claim process with Allstate is very nice and easy. I have a profile, so whenever I type in my information, everything pops up. There was one time I saw something that I didn't even know I had a warranty on, so I like the process. Allstate recently sent me a new bed, and that process was amazing, especially how they communicated and let me know that the original bed I purchased was no longer in stock and offered other options. When I got the replacement, one of the boards was cracked. I didn’t know if I could file another claim on the replacement. I didn't call Allstate because I didn't have a number. I thought I emailed it to them, but Wayfair said I emailed it to them and they didn't see a claim on the bed.

      I wasn't sure who I had sent the email to. But I was trying to reach Allstate to let them know that only one piece was cracked and ask if they could send me a replacement piece. I took pictures of everything to show that I was putting it together when we noticed the crack. I also have some electronics that I have a warranty on. I realized it was Allstate and I dealt with them before. They didn't do me bad. A friend told me Allstate didn't do right by her, so she doesn't get that warranty. But I haven't come across anything like that yet. The times that I did a claim, they sent me the stuff.

      I never had a fountain last me five years. So, I decided to get an Allstate protection plan for the outdoor fountain that I recently purchased. I got the plan through Wayfair. The fountain has a pump in the bottom that pumps up water through a hose, then it goes to the top, and water comes out. But the hose disconnected somehow from the top of the fountain, and the top of that fountain was not removable. So, there was no way to get that hose back onto whatever connection there was at the top. I tried but it was too small to get a hand up there. So, there was no way to repair that. I talked to Wayfair first and they told me that I should file a claim with Allstate. I did that online and it was a no-brainer. Then before I knew it, they said they were going to send me a gift card for Wayfair to use for my next purchase. So, I replaced the fountain and I bought another warranty.

      The process with Allstate was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I figured I was going to be going back and forth and arguing with somebody. But that didn't happen. I supplied a couple of pictures, explained what was going on, and within a very short period of time, I was told they couldn't take the product back and they couldn't fix it, so my claim was accepted. Aside from that, the price of the warranty was reasonable. I would tell my friends not to hesitate getting Allstate if they think there's something that might need replacing.

      My recent claim with Allstate was for the washer. They decided that they didn't want to send parts, and they sent a technician to review it. The technician came out, and he couldn't really find anything wrong with it. It had been leaking. There was water underneath it, and making a loud noise. He ran it through an update and said that might fix it, but it didn't. It's still leaking, and the loud noise is worse. And now, it doesn't drain.

      When I called them, I told them what the recommendation was from the last technician. That was to get two people out because it's such a heavy unit that they can't move it by themselves. So I transferred that information to them and what they thought it could possibly be, but they decided not to send any parts, and they're sending one technician again who will not be able to move the unit. He's coming out on Monday to look at it again.

      I've filed a claim once before on my last washer, and they refunded me. They couldn't fix it. And it was the same thing. They did not bring two technicians. And after the third try, they decided just to give up on it and and gave me it. But this is an extremely good washer. We'd like to have it fixed. But I'm fine with Allstate. They're doing everything they can. They've always been very friendly as well.

      I purchased a protection plan from Allstate for a PlayStation 4, six access controller. It's an electronic, and it's something that does get wear and tear. In the past, through PlayStation, I've experienced issues with previous controllers as far as their longevity. So, I thought it'd be good to get some sort of protection. I did recently file a claim to Allstate about a month ago. I had my nephew over. We were playing games. He had a controller, but he stepped on it, damaged some of the joysticks. It's still functional, but they were slightly damaged. So, I looked into it to see if that was something I could file a claim for. It was. Then I was provided some instruction to do that.

      At first, I thought it was gonna be tricky because I had to figure out who the coverage was through. However, I had my receipt and my little notification. I went and found it through Walmart. I found the email, and then I submitted my inquiry. Within a day or two, I got a notification saying what I had to do. So, originally, I wasn't sure, but I got some instructions online. I followed those instructions, and it went smoothly. I didn't really have to do much jumping through any hoops. I just gave the information. They gave me what my steps were. I completed those steps, which was go get the device repaired through a local repair center. I did that, got my receipt, uploaded it. A couple days later, I was issued an email saying payment was on its way. Allstate was efficient. I am very satisfied. I'm glad I had the coverage in place.

      July 2025 I purchase the extended warranty. My TV in September of 2026, the screen would go blank after 5 minutes. The volume would remain on. I called AllState Insurance twice. The first time we talked and tried to troubleshoot for 40 minutes before I had to go because of an appointment. I called back the following week when returning from a trip. Called again and talked to an agent that was trying to troubleshoot. I stated I did this troubleshooting the prior week. The agent opened a claim for me. I then received an email requesting me to take a photo of the TV screen, photo of model number on the back, and a close up photo of the picture with the issue I was having. What a joke. I gave them everything they requested plus I did a video so they could see and hear what the TV was doing.

      A couple days later I get an email stating they were looking into a replacement. That was over two weeks ago. I went to the local Walmart and spoke to the store manager and explained everything. She stated We shouldn't have been put through this and to bring TV in for a replacement. A couple days later we came in with the TV and spoke to the person that the manager assigned to us. Thank you Walmart. AllState Insurance I will never use your company for any insurance so quit sending all that junk mail trying to get my vehicle and home owner insurance.

      SquareTrade offers two types of plans: Standard and Accidental. Our Standard plan covers mechanical and electrical malfunctions, while the Accidental plan includes accidental drops or liquid contact. In this case, the item was covered under our Standard Protection plan, which does not cover physical damage. While SquareTrade does its best to assist all our customers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

      03/26/22 I purchased a fridge and the protection plan from Home Depot. 10/23/2026 fridge stopped working, 10/26/26 I contacted Allstate protection plan, via chat I was instructed to file a claim. 10/26 after filing the rep asked me to look at the rubber gasket for any tears, I advised him there is a inch tear. He then sent me instructing me to defrost the appliance. I immediately contacted another rep and told her that is not the issue. My fridge has never had ice buildup requiring defrosting.

      I contacted an appliance repairman to diagnose the issue he found the compressor went out and out of pocket to repair is 1000.00. I had several conversations daily with other reps who indicated I would be contacted. When I asked when a technician would be sent, they said "in some time" I received an email 10/26/26, my repair appointment is 10/29/26. I called about the appt and was told they were waiting on parts, I asked how parts were ordered before the appliance was diagnosed. They do not send technicians to diagnose the issue instead they ask you questions and consider what the issue is with the appliance. After the call I received another email and was told the appointment was canceled as the parts have not arrived. I received a call 10/29/2026 to ask if the parts arrived, the rep then said an appointment would be scheduled, I asked that a technician be sent Oct 30,2026.

      I received an email 10/30/26 with appointment scheduled 11/03/26. Again, another call asking why a technician was not sent today 10/31/26, the first rep assured me I would be called back in 2 hours. After no call I called again, she called the technician and said the earliest they have is Monday. The technicians do not work on weekends. 5 minutes ago, I received another call explaining the appointment was changed to Monday, which I already knew.

      By the time a technician comes it will be eleven days without a fridge. I asked the rep if the 2 parts don't resolve the issue, then what? She responded it will be reviewed. The 2 parts ordered are the fan motor and gasket. This whole process and assistance or that lack of given by the representatives has been lip service. I find it sad that Allstate has their name associated with this plan. This has been nothing but a nightmare dealing with a company who does not care. I still have to deal with the loss of food. I would not recommend this protection plan.

      My experience with SquareTrade (an Allstate company) has been nothing short of horrible. Quite honestly, this is the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I purchased a laptop from Walmart along with an extended warranty through SquareTrade. When the laptop developed an issue, I followed the warranty process and shipped it to their repair facility in McAllen, Texas. The laptop was received by the repair facility without incident, and shortly afterward, I received an email stating that the warranty repair had been completed. I then received another email containing a FedEx tracking number for the return shipment. Unfortunately, this is where everything went downhill.

      I monitored the FedEx tracking information religiously for an entire week, only to see the same status over and over again: the shipping label had been created, but FedEx had never actually received the package. In other words, SquareTrade had apparently completed the repair and generated a shipping label, but my laptop was never turned over to the shipping carrier. Over the following month, I called SquareTrade more than a dozen times trying to get answers. Each time, I was given some variation of the same scripted response. I was repeatedly told that the matter had been escalated and that someone would contact me within 24–48 hours. Those calls never came. On other occasions, I was promised that I would receive an update later that same day. That never happened either.

      This cycle of empty promises continued until I finally called again about a week ago and demanded some actual answers. Only then did I receive an email stating that the matter was being investigated and instructing me to respond if I had additional concerns. That email was received last Friday, and as of today, I have still heard absolutely nothing. Let that sink in: My laptop has been in SquareTrade's possession since early September, it is now the end of October and I am still without my computer, without a meaningful explanation, and without any indication of when this situation will be resolved. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that SquareTrade operates under the Allstate name. Allstate is a major, well-established company, and I expected a much higher standard of customer service, accountability, and professionalism.

      I understand that things can go wrong. Repairs can be delayed, shipping issues can occur, and mistakes happen. What is completely unacceptable is the way SquareTrade has handled this situation. A company that sells protection plans should be able to do more than collect warranty premiums and send automated emails. When customers have a problem, they should be able to count on the company to take ownership, communicate honestly, and follow through on its commitments.

      I have spent countless hours trying to get someone to take responsibility for a problem that should never have reached this point. The complete lack of communication and accountability is beyond frustrating. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a SquareTrade extended warranty. A warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it, and SquareTrade has failed miserably when it comes to customer service and taking care of its customers. I would not recommend SquareTrade to anyone.

      There was no help at all. You kept telling me to goto a manufacturer when there isn’t one because it’s “unbranded”. My coverage date with them is a 2-year protection plan that started on Jan. 28, 2026 thru Jan. 28, 2028 but yet they are refusing to honor the fact that, whether they like it or not, they’re obligated to fulfill the warranty with or without the manufacturer's warranty since they’re saying my coverage already started. They kept telling me to go through a manufacturer that is not available. It’s bullsh*t and quite frankly, I would NEVER RECOMMEND ALLSTATE TO ANYONE!

      Hello Victor Mizrahi,

      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. However, according to our terms and conditions, consumers must file a furniture claim within 30 days of when the issue occurred. While SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our consumers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

      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.

      Thank you,

      Our countertop nugget ice maker started leaking water out of the bottom of it, and it wasn't making ice. It was iffy. Sometimes it would make ice, but it would make very little, and it was more like a slushy. I had originally reached out to Frigidaire, because it was originally under their one-year warranty. But because when we were cleaning it, the label on the back that has the serial number and model number was unable to be read. So, Frigidaire wouldn't do anything about it. So, I was like, "Well, I did get the insurance, so maybe I can go ahead and file through them."

      I reached out to Allstate, and their claim process was really simple. I just called the company, and they sent me a email. I clicked on the email. I filled out the information. Within just a couple hours of sending pictures, I was able to file the claim. They did approve my claim. I know I had dropped the machine off at a FedEx. As soon as I dropped it off, I checked my email, and I had already gotten a refund.

      This company is a bunch of frauds. They have approved my claim, but refuse to send a check., They accepted my invoice and now are saying they do not accept it. They contact me with no information on what they need for documentation. Just corporate blow hole answers. This is a fraudulent stain of a company. The worst insurance company on the planet. You deleted my review you scamming stains on the earth. (ConsumerAffairs). You are obviously in team with Allstate. I have reported allstate and consumer affairs to the FBI.

      I purchased Allstate for my refrigerator. The ice maker wasn't working. I filed a claim and that's all been fixed. They fixed it within three days. Filing the claim was really easy. The guys that came were very courteous and explained everything, because he had to go back to the place to order a new part for it, from Whirlpool. Everything was great. They said that, when they were going to be here. They were on time. I didn't have a problem whatsoever.

      It's been three weeks without a working refrigerator, and I am extremely disappointed with how Allstate has handled my claim. My repair was approved on October 4, but the technician who came on October 7 did not complete the repair. A follow-up appointment was scheduled and then canceled due to a delayed part. I've repeatedly followed up, requested supervisor escalation, and asked for a replacement review, yet I still have no resolution or clear timeline. Three weeks without a refrigerator is a major inconvenience, and the lack of communication and urgency has been incredibly frustrating. I expected much better service from a company providing appliance protection. At this point, I cannot recommend Allstate's warranty service.

      The unit that I had purchased, which was an ice maker, quit working. I had purchased a policy from Allstate. I pulled it up on my Walmart website and looked at it, and it was still valid. I submitted the claim. They requested a return of the item. I packed it up, and I returned it. They apparently, immediately up on notification from FedEx that it was in transit. They sent me an online payment for the amount. Having the policy saved me having to buy a new unit right off. It was certainly better than the alternative plan that Allstate offered, which was they would send me a replacement with a 30-day warranty. So, now I can go buy with the money that I got back one and purchase a warranty.

      Allstate came in handy because I only had the vacuum cleaner for two and a half years. That's bad to go bad on me that quick. I've had vacuum cleaners for 15 years before. They didn't go bad. The vacuum cleaner's plug came off and was stuck in the wall socket. I was upset when that happened. I submitted a claim online and it was easy and fast. Allstate ended up having to refund my money because there was nobody local that could repair the vacuum cleaner. It was a digital Wayfair gift card because I bought it from Wayfair. I turned around and bought another vacuum cleaner. The whole process took a couple of days. I had a problem opening up the gift card one day, and the next day they had it fixed. I also got a warranty on the second vacuum cleaner that I bought. I'm glad I had the protection. It was good because I had a three-year plan.

      Disappointed With Allstate Protection Plans – Furniture Warranty Denied. I purchased a sectional sofa from Wayfair in December 2024, along with a five-year Allstate Protection Plan for $192.99. Approximately 19 months later, the stitching on my sofa began coming loose, causing the seams to separate. I submitted a warranty claim, expecting the protection plan I purchased to provide coverage.

      Instead, Allstate denied my claim, stating that the damage was normal wear and tear. My concern is that the stitching itself was coming loose, which I believe raises a legitimate question about defective workmanship. I disputed the decision and eventually filed complaints with the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance and the Missouri Attorney General’s Office. Allstate maintained its denial. The Attorney General’s Office attempted mediation but was unable to obtain a resolution. Allstate offered to refund the cost of my protection plan, but I declined because I wanted the coverage I had purchased.

      I am disappointed that after purchasing a five-year protection plan, I was unable to obtain a satisfactory resolution for a seam problem that developed less than two years after purchasing my furniture. My advice to other consumers is to carefully read the coverage terms and exclusions before purchasing an extended furniture protection plan. Based on my experience, I would hesitate to purchase another Allstate Protection Plan.

Manager informed me that this is 3rd party & that I need to reach out to Allstate again. Allstate said the same thing; I asked who cancelled the plan. The agent said, "she doesn't know." I asked for a refund, they said, "I am sorry but we can't." I pulled up my credit card statement from 2024 & it shows that the full amount was taken out there is no refund.
