    My EcoFlow solar generator, model Delta 2 Max asked too much power from the generator. It asked more of it than what I told it to. I had to call customer service. That part is hard. When I tried to do it through eBay's help menu, that was not good. I have to call a human. And I gotta do that horrific process no matter who the company is or just trying to get to a human. But once I got to a human, it was okay. The process happened how it was supposed to.

    Allstate Protection Plans's customer service was awesome. The guy was a foreigner, but he understood what I tried to convey him and he did an excellent job. It ended up being I had a faulty generator. The symptoms seemed as though the machine would do what it wanted to do instead of what I asked it to do. But that wasn't the case. The machine works perfectly.

    The air fryer got worn out and it stopped. The temperature wasn't up to par, and it wouldn't cook items all the way through. Allstate paid in full what I paid for it. And I got a new air fryer. I tell all the customers I ring out I would purchase the warranty. It’s very dependable.

    Everything went well in my recent claim for a refrigerator. The icemaker wasn't working. The reps were friendly. They offered to walk me through it. I was trying to wait one day, unplug it, and see if it would work again. But my food was spoiled. I said, “Can I have a tech? Let him come over? That way, I won't lose the food.” The rep said, “Yeah. That'd be fine.” They sent a technician and the parts came in. And he fixed it. My experience with them was quick and good.

    I purchased a lot of protection plans. The most recent one that I got a refund for was the refrigerator. The ice maker in the bottom quit working twice. They came out in May, and they came out in August and said it was unrepairable. The issue of the refund was very quick. It took less than a week. The Allstate reps were super polite, but it was very apparent they were reading from a script, and English was their second language, so it was hard to communicate with them. Sometimes they weren't getting what I was saying and I couldn't ask a question that was out of the ordinary because they would not have an answer for you. But everything else was fine. It was also fine to work with their website. The techs they hired, the local people were good to work with.

    Allstate sucks. I bought a bunch of headphones and a bunch of protection plans. The headphones stopped working after a while. I filed a claim to get the replacements but Allstate was saying they needed the box and the numbers. I told them I didn't have the box but I sent the documentation from eBay, where I bought them, three times. I was trying to figure out which one was which and which pair was which. Every one of the reps was so polite and nice about it but they kept telling me to send stuff in. They were like a referee playing by the rules and I understand that. After the third time, I was done doing it and I asked them if I could at least get a refund on the warranty. I didn't like not getting anything out of it.

I filed a claim a month ago but I haven't heard anything back from Allstate yet. Something didn't make any sense on the email that I received when I did the claim online.

We tried to troubleshoot it and, finally, they said, "No, the TV is not gonna do it." They reimbursed me my money and I went and bought another one. I bought the protection plan again.

    My son breaks his glasses often, so any time I purchase a new pair, I purchase a plan. When I filed a claim with Allstate, it went well. Initially, when you're doing anything online where you have to follow directions and upload this and that, it seems to be a little bit more worse than making a phone call. But since I've had to do it more than once, it's not been a hard process. Allstate sent a check for the amount of whatever I paid for the glasses. It's a good investment and there's no hassle with the refund process.

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 protect against physical damage.

    Made me jump through hoops to get a replacement TV. Although there was a documented, known issue with my LG set, Allstate made me submit no less than 6 photo and video files showing the problem and the requirements they demanded became more difficult to provide each time. They hope to make the consumer walk away in frustration. Then, when I finally satisfied all of their rigorous requirements, they only offered me one model of replacement TV which retailed for less than 1/2 of what I paid for my set 2 years and 6 months ago (I bought a 65" LG for $1,000 at Costco and they replaced it with a $400 Hisense set). I will never again purchase an Allstate policy.

    Plan Number: **. Purchased LG 75 in TV from Walmart $768 on 8/17/2022. Purchased protection plan $99. I have had nothing but trouble trying to get TV fixed. Filed a warranty for not being able to get internet on TV. Went back and forth with Allstate. They said it was a LG issue And LG said that it is covered under Allstate extended warranty. Had the Sprout Internet come out to verify that it is the network card in TV. Called warranty again. This time they approved it to be fixed. But told me that I would have to call a TV repair man & they would reimburse. I could not find one at all (Even thru LG)!! Called warranty again. This time he was going to see if there was a repair company thru Allstate. If not that he already talked to his supervisor about just sending a new TV.

    I agreed to try to get it fixed. BUT I informed him that I was disabled and that I could not take down the TV and that they needed two men for the job. He said no worries, he would definitely make a note on the ticket. But to make sure and let them know when they call to schedule service. He also said they would call to verify what parts was needed. No one called! So I called the contact number that he had sent me. I left my name and number twice but no call. Then I receive email that parts are being shipped, ok. I called again, had to leave name and # again. Received parts a couple days later but still no call. So called and left message again.

    Two days later a guy shows up unannounced by himself. No helper and no note on ticket. He said he could not do the TV but he went on a sales pitch for his pressure washing business, wanted to show me pictures of trailers he had & built for washing I guess. He even gave me a price of $1,000.00 to wash my house & gave me a card. He said they would reschedule with helper. Still have not heard anything!! Called warranty back. Talked to supervisor & now they say. that the network card is not covered. What changed? LG says it is covered under extended warranty. Any help appreciated.

    My daughter had left a cup of water on the table that the cats spilled and the water soaked her Nintendo Switch. We filed the claim on the 18th and already received her repaired switch by the 28th. I was worried because my last warranty plan for the switch actually did more damage to my daughter's switch and we had to buy a whole new one, but this company did amazing. Her switch is working they even replaced the joysticks on her controllers which I didn't know needed replaced in the first place. They went above and beyond and her switch screen was in the same condition I left it. Only downside was they removed her tempered glass screen protector (I assume she had cracked it and they were making sure it wasn't the screen) so I do need to get a new screen protector but best warranty plan we have had so far!

    The company has quickly resolved the issue for me. I am very appreciative of Allstate Squaretrade. I was surprised that they take our reviews seriously and they respond quickly. I think the company deserves a great rating.

    Original Review: Aug. 28, 2024

    I did not want a gift card to Walmart. I wasn’t asked if I wanted Walmart credit or not. The chairs broke from Walmart, along with a few other household items I’ve purchased in the past. As a result of my experiences shopping at Walmart, I don’t trust them for furniture anymore. It’s all cheap and I was automatically given a gift card that would require me to shop at Walmart again. This is crazy redundancy happening right now.

    Hello Theresa,

    We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced with your recent claim.

    SquareTrade does our best to offer flexible and suitable resolution options to meet our customers’ needs. Our goal is to be swift and efficient when carrying out claim resolutions. In any case that involves reimbursement, we find issuing the payment via an electronic gift card decreases the length of time a customer has to wait for their funds. Although a lot of customers favor this option due to the quick turnaround, others may not, as it was in this case.

    At this time, we have reached out to you to provide additional assistance and support.

    Thank you,

    When my TV went out unexpectedly, I thought I was out of luck after trying every troubleshooting trick in the book. I was pretty bummed, but then I remembered I had an Allstate protection plan! Relief washed over me as I filed my claim, sent in the necessary details, and just like that—bam! A new TV was on the way. Huge thanks for making this process so quick and easy.

    Allstate's service was annoying because it felt like I had to do more of the work than they did. I got the warranty on a couch. I have it on a few things because I bought a bunch of furniture and I put protection plans on them. The motor went out on one of the electric chairs, so it wouldn't extend up. I called Allstate to file a claim. They told me to do it online. So, I created the account, and creating an account wasn't bad. That was easy. I just had to download the app, log in, and register. Once I did all that, my plan auto-populated in the system. They showed them up there. But when I went to select it, since I just bought it, they thought that I had a manufacturer's warranty. So, they wanted me to call the manufacturer and get it repaired. I was like, “But they told me that the coverage starts day one.” I don't understand. They were like, “Well, furniture comes with the warranty.”

    So, I called the manufacturer and they were like, “No. This is a clearance item. This clearance item doesn't come with the warranty. So, your plan starts off right away.” So, I had to call back. And when I called back, someone had to go up the management level chain and get it to where they made it to where the couch was available for a warranty. I was like, “This is freaking insane.” I spent a long time. And then when something finally happened and the claim was in there, I didn't get a call from anybody for like two weeks. I had to call back myself and be like, “Hey, what's going on?” When I tried to ask for help through the app, the representative was like, “Well, I'm just a general representative. I don't work with furniture. You need to call this number and get something done.”

    I was just like, “Why can't you do everything? You said you elevated my claim to a higher priority, but I don't understand why I'm having to do all this work just to get anything done.” Then I got a text message after I complained. It said, “Call this number,” which was the same number. And it said, “Call this number to make an appointment.” Why do I have to call to make the appointment? I'm doing all the work here then. I should be getting paid to file this claim. I felt like I was a customer service representative.

    I called the number that I was given and I said, “I don't understand why you guys do this stuff, man. This is so weird.” With every other warranty I've had, you call and they do the work for you. They call you back and say, “Hey, this is a company that's gonna do it. This is their phone number. They should be calling you within 48 hours. If they don't call back, we'll make sure they call you.” That's what I'm used to. Eventually, somebody came out. And then they found out that the motor was broken. What they did was they ordered the motor and the switch. So, they replaced both. Both of them were fixed.

    It's just when the guy came out to inspect it, it was just a vendor from somewhere and I don't even know what company. It was just a random person who called me and said, “Hey, you got a claim through SquareTrade. I got told that I need to come look at it. When's a good time to do it? I can do it on this day.” I said, “Okay. Whatever. Cool. Got it.” Then SquareTrade’s time when the technician was coming out was completely different from the actual vendor's time. The vendor's time was at 8:00 p.m. and SquareTrade told me that they were coming between 11:00 and 2:00. So, we didn't go anywhere or do any shopping or anything that day early like we wanted to because there was that.

    Once that time passed, I was like, “I don't even know if these guys are even coming.” My wife finally got a phone call saying, “Hey, can I come early?” My wife was like, “What do you mean early? You guys are way late.” He said, “Oh, no. SquareTrade didn't schedule us until like 8:00 p.m. And I'd really like to go home early. I don't wanna be out late. So, is it okay if I come early?” We were like, “Yeah. Yeah. By all means, come out early.” So, we found out that it's a SquareTrade vendor, and SquareTrade just throws the claim out to anybody.

    What ended up happening was when the part finally came in, I called. I told them the part was here and I needed it installed. They said, “Okay.” I didn't get a call for an entire week. I was already done because I already knew it was gonna happen before. I called the next Friday and the lady was like, “I promise you this time, you'll get an email by Monday.” I got no emails at all. No update. Nothing. I just got a phone call from a guy who said, “I can come out Thursday.” I said, “All right. Cool.” I hung up the phone and no more than five minutes later, I got another phone call. “Hey, you need your work order done, right?” I said, “Yeah.” He said, “Okay. I can come out Wednesday.” I said, “Well, somebody just called me like five minutes ago and said they're coming out Thursday.” He said, “Well, do you want it done? I can do it Wednesday.” I was like, “Yeah, I guess.”

    I found out that they're not even people who work for SquareTrade. It's just vendors. It's just random workers. I was like, “This is absolutely insane.” When they ordered the part, I figured the work order was gonna stay with the person who ordered it and conducted the work. It was not the same people. The part was ordered and sent to my house. Then once the part came to my house, I had to call back and tell them. When the person came out, he was like, “Hey, what's wrong with your couch? Let me see it. That way, I can get you guys some parts or whatever you need or fix it.” I was like, “Dude, the part’s already here. We just need you to install it.” He said, “What? They didn't tell me that. I need to go back out and get my tools.” So, it was a mess. It's completely fixed now, but the whole process of trying to get it fixed was absolutely annoying. They replaced it 100% for free so while the process is annoying, I can't do anything.

    My 50-inch Samsung TV was just over two years old when in just one day, the screen suddenly failed and the picture stopped completely. I notified Allstate under my extended service plan, that I had purchased with the TV when it was new, and after just a few communications, including proof of purchase, claim documentation and a few photos and video, they offered me a new television from a number of choices, albeit a different brand. I am very happy with the selections of replacements offered and accepted a much larger TV from a reputable new off-brand. I usually do not purchase extended service plans, but in this instance, I am glad I did. I will likely buy an extended service plan through Allstate the next time I need a new TV. The new TV was delivered within a few days and the entire claim process was as easy and pain-free as can be. Everybody at Allstate was polite, cordial and helpful.

    SquareTrade called back today to ensure that the situation was resolved. Apparently there was a discrepancy regarding defrosting the refrigerator, and they scheduled the repair after I called back and told them that turning it off and leaving it open for 24 hours was not feasible. I appreciate their fast response and stand corrected on my harsh rush to judgment.

    Original Review: Aug. 25, 2024

    What a ridiculous waste of money! Paid $269.99 for the warranty (which the representative made me look up). Then, when I try to use it for the first time, the representative tells me that I must disconnect the refrigerator, leave it open, and defrost for 24 hours. So, the solution is for me to resolve the problem, and destroy thousands of dollars worth of food AND medication, or transfer the entire contents to another refrigerator?! Had I not purchased the plan, I could have used the amount to hire somebody competent and be done with this by now! I would advise not to waste your money on this scam! If this is the way that Allstate treats their customers, I should get to work finding a different insurer for my home and vehicle. Disgusting!

    A representative of SquareTrade reached out to me by phone after I left a bad review. They have issued a Walmart gift card to me for the full price of my failed dehumidifier. I was pleasantly surprised that they were so proactive and so prompt. I consider the issue closed to my satisfaction. I have changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars. I would have given 5 stars if the refund was an option in the original replacement selection list.

    Original Review: Aug. 24, 2024

    My dehumidifier failed. Original specs: Frigidaire 50 pints per day, power draw 7.8 amps. Allstate/Squaretrade decided to replace it. They offered only 2 choices: 1) A replacement bucket for a dehumidifier??? or 2) A "50 pint" Wellsle dehumidifier. Why would they even offer a replacement water catch bucket to replace a broken dehumidifier? Makes absolutely no sense. I selected the Wellsle. I received it promply. It is a mini-dehumidifier. It is so much smaller physically than my original unit. Power draw on the Wellsle is only 3.2 amps. The "50 pint" number can only be reached in 95 degF, 90% humidity. The placard also shows the standard industry capacity is 15.1 pints per day at 65 degF and 60% humidity. Very dissatisfied with SquareTrade's limited choice - giving me a Chevy to replace my Cadillac. I expected a Frigidaire to replace my Frigidaire dehumidifier.

    They know they are about to cheat you. Here is the text at the bottom of the replacement selection page:
    - Once you confirm this order, we cannot change it.

    - After you receive your replacement, your claim will be complete.

    When you are making your choice, you don't know they are going to send you a mini-dehumidifier to replace your failed full-sized dehumidifier. Once you receive it, you have no recourse other than to leave a bad review.

    WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! We purchased a Samsung smart TV from Costco in October 2019, and purchased the 3yr extended Square Trade warranty at the same time, for a total of 5 yrs. Last Saturday our TV screen started to fade and go dark on one side, and bright white light was shining up from the bottom of the screen. We tried adjusting the brightness, screen res, etc. Nothing helped. I went online and filed a claim on Sunday at 11am PT. I uploaded photos of the required receipts and proof of Allstate paperwork, which was confirmed back via email at 11:14am PT. The email said we would hear back within one business day with next steps. Between Saturday and Tuesday I spoke to four different customer service reps, each of whom transferred me to someone else who they assured me would "resolve the claim." NOT ONE OF THEM DID.

    I received NOTHING on Monday, nor Tuesday morning. I finally called Customer Service Tuesday afternoon and inquired about the status of the claim. I was told I should have got an email requesting photos of the TV. I explained that I had not, and was still waiting. The rep checked the "system" and saw that indeed, no email had been sent to me, so he initiated it. I asked if he would stay on the phone to make sure he got the photos and he told me he couldn't because the email goes to a different dept, and they would be in contact with me after reviewing the photos.

    FINALLY, on Aug 22, FOUR DAYS after I initiated the claim, I got an email telling me the claim was approved and to pick my new (replacement) TV from the three choices below. NONE of them are the same brand we have, and only one was rated slightly better than the comparable model to what we have. Even though your policy specifically states "Your replacement TV will be as good or better than your original." To make matters worse, now we have to wait ANOTHER 7-10 DAYS to get the new TV?!?? We could have gone out, bought a replacement, and had it hooked up and working by now, and all SquareTrade would have needed to do was send us a check after we provided proof of purchase.

    Instead we've got NO TV, we're not getting not the same brand, and we have to wait another 7-10 days for it to be delivered from who knows where. Is this what you do with your cellphone customers?? Make them go without a phone for 10-14 days while your stupid automated system chugs through unnecessary repeat requests for info that could have all been obtained with the initial claim? Why on earth don't you collect ALL THE PHOTOS with the first claim submission?!?! Why force the customer to jump through so many hoops and wait "one business day" for EVERY step???! Are you hoping we'll just give up?

    We had better, faster service and MUCH less hassle with a lost luggage claim in Europe. I filed the claim, uploaded the receipts, got an answer in 24 hours and a check 3 days later. So no, we did NOT have a good experience with SquareTrade/Allstate. It's been six days and we still don't have a TV, and are still waiting for an expected delivery date.

I would click on that and it would do nothing. It took me four extra days to get the label. I sent Allstate Protection Plans an email and they sent me the same email back but that button did not work either. They finally sent it two days after as a PDF, which I got printed. After it happened and I contacted Allstate, it took me another week before I could get the label printed. Be sure that when they send the shipping label that it is with the email.

    I purchased an Allstate Protection Plan when purchasing my Bosch Refrigerator from Home Depot. Due to an issue with our ice maker not working, a technician was sent to our home to replace it. Unfortunately, during the repair, the technician dropped the unit and it hit the inside of our one year old $3500 refrigerator and cracked the plastic inside of the fridge. I requested resolution and all Square Trade would offer was a $100 dollar check stating that due to it being cosmetic, they are not responsible. I find this unacceptable. While this was an accident, the damage was caused by a technician they hired and sent to our home. There should be greater accountability when these things happen. Do we have to worry about damage to our appliance every time we need a service repair?

I didn't receive a camera. I still have the old one with me, but nothing gets any improved. The last time when we went to buy a TV, they asked us if we wanted a warranty. We said no, because I had a hard time with the experience I had with my camera.

    They were very helpful to get me all the information I needed and it was super easy to get the claims process started online with Allstate. Once I got the claim number, the appliance company called me and scheduled appointments from there. A repairman came out and replaced a part where the buttons light up on the washer. It didn't work later that day so they had to come back out and fix it. There was a hose that came unattached. After four weeks, it stopped working again. I have been without a washer for two weeks now. They were supposed to come out Monday but the wrong parts were ordered.

    STILL WAITING!!!! I took the broken laptop to a shop as instructed, told it cannot be repaired. I submitted (uploaded) the proper documents and was told it was received and to wait 24-48 hours to get a resolution. That was over 10 days ago! They keep saying they cannot reach the repair shop, however the e-mail and phone number is on the invoice that was uploaded. I have visited the repair shop 3 times since I filed this claim. Every time I call, I'm told to follow the instructions in the e-mail.... still zero resolution... waste of money and effort. I would NEVER use this warranty company again and now I am without a laptop and have to buy a new one - more money out of my pocket - which was why I paid for the warranty to begin with.

    I started this claim on August 2nd. I was emailed a link showing the only TV that was available in 50 inch at that time so I chose it. I received email updates over the next few days about shipping and where it was coming from (Best Buy). ETA was 12th August. Yesterday the 14th, I called the Allstate number from the email. The gentleman I spoke to gave the order # so Best Buy could trace it. Best Buy said the TV wasn’t In stock when it was ordered and the soonest they might get it was 26th of August.

    I called Allstate back and relayed what Best Buy had told me. The gentleman put me on hold while he spoke with his “team”. He apologized and said someone would be in touch today. I got an email this afternoon that some would let me know in one to two days the status of my replacement tv. What started out as a pleasant experience has turned into a nightmare. I paid for a four year warranty and have been waiting thirteen days and still don’t have a tv. I am not at all happy. If something doesn’t happen within the next few days I plan to start filing complaints.

    I bought a sectional couch from Wayfair not even two years ago. When purchasing the couch, I made sure to get the extra protection plan. If I would have known now, that this is what I’d be dealing with, I would save myself the money. Allstate, squaretrade has been the absolute worst company to deal with hands down! The frame of my couch is broken in several places, as well as the wooden backing, on several pieces. One of the back cushions has a huge rip, from my dog. I started my claim a month ago. Said they would send a technician out to assess the damage and move forward.

    The couch is not repairable, but they want to send another technician to my house for 7 plus hours, to rip apart my couch. Fix the damage with wood, as well as sew my back pillow together, which would be noticeable. I’m beyond frustrated that this is their resolution, when clearly, the couch is not repairable! I have been given the runaround for days. And to think they basically want to rig my couch back together is complete nonsense to me! Will never buy anything from allstate ever again! I have never had an experience as difficult or as ridiculous as this! Save your money!

    I purchased a Maytag washer at Home Depot late 2022. It always gave me problems. Then it stopped working altogether. I called Allstate to file a claim, so they sent a technician out and he checked the washer and determined that the stripped wires on the panel were because I had rats, to which I said, no I don't have any rats or any rodents of any kind. Allstate refused to send out a another technician for a second opinion. They just closed my claim and I couldn't file a complaint because it so happens they don't have a complaint department, or a supervisor available to take my call. I don't recommend this insurance at all.

After being told to turn my fridge off for 24 hours then check to see if ice was made, I called back, went through the same questions with a different rep. Finally the new rep ordered parts (not all the correct parts) and gave me what I thought was an service appt. Took the day off from work. Got a call from the service co. a day before the service date and was told a different date. Never was told to turn my fridge off the day the tech comes. Got reprimanded by the tech.

    Laptop was opened too far, and the screen stopped working. Screen was repaired and returned quickly. Very satisfied. Glad I bought the warranty since this is a school laptop and contains a lot of schoolwork on it. Highly recommended warranty. Well worth the extra cost, especially for a laptop that will be used as a portable device — being transported from home to school and back again.

    I filed a claim recently my damaged eye glasses using the app. I inadvertently melted a mark on one of the lenses. The claim process on the app was relatively painless and only took about 10 mins. I followed the prompts and uploaded photos taken with my phone. Allstate communication was quick, and provided a swift resolution by emailing me a gift card. I was able to use the gift card at the same retailer to get a replacement pair of glasses. I purchased another Allstate warranty with my new pair of glasses because I was so satisfied with my precious experience.

    In attempting to file a claim for the just over one-year old GE fridge/freezer I purchased (stopped cooling AND freezing) it took several calls to AllState/SquareTrade over a period of four days, as the representatives were not well-versed in the process. I finally was connected to GE, who sent a repair technician to assess and then scheduled another date to do the repair at no charge because this issue with the compressor is a VERY common, known problem. Total time from the initial call to AllState/SquareTrade until the repair: Three weeks. To add insult: While the freezer seems to be doing its job now that the compressor was replaced, the fridge is still not cooling at GE's recommended setting of 37 degrees.

What’s the use of having a warranty if you only going to give me my money back. How about the interest since you held my money so long? You reimbursed me for a TV that I got on sale two years ago. the cost of living went up and that’s what you pay me back. I can’t buy TV at that price no more plus you kept my Warranty money.

We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our consumers up to the amount spent on the item.

I called Allstate Protections Plan July 18, 2024, one of their people had me power cycle the printer for 2 minutes. Of course the printer printed several pages without paper jams. July 23, 2024, paper jams again, spoke with Abraham, he had me power cycle the printer for 90 minutes. I am never paying for a protection plan with Allstate Protection.

The disappointment made it obvious that I made the right choice when I decided to opt in for the protection plan when I usually do not. From the time I called until the television was delivered took about 10 days, and that with a holiday in between. Very happy!

    The cat knocked the computer off the table while my kids were using it, and the screen went half black, like a TV shattering. I called Allstate and explained the situation. They wanted to know when I purchased it and if there was a receipt. I told them I purchased it through Walmart and there's no proof I got it from Walmart. It didn't even give me a receipt. I even called Walmart customer service and their online department to try and figure out how to fix that problem. I had to go through my emails, find the purchase email that says, "Thank you for using Walmart.com," and give different screenshots of that.

    Allstate ended up with multiple screenshots from my phone as well as pictures of the computer that was broken and the serial number. Then I called them and told them I needed to make sure that those pictures were what they needed. I wanted make sure I got it right because I didn't wanna keep going back and forth. The people that I talked to told me those were perfect, that they'd keep me notified, and they did. A couple of days later, I got a confirmation. They were very accommodating.

    The coverage is good. Allstate couldn't find the exact one that I had, so they went ahead and sent me a gift card. It only took me a while because I had to get ahold of somebody on the phone, which sometimes is easy and sometimes hard. But I like doing the protection plan because, a lot of times, it has saved me a lot of hassle. However, if I wasn't familiar with the extended warranty, I wouldn't know what to do to get it. All it does is it pops up a prompt asking if I want the extended warranty. It doesn't go into detail.

    The process to get reimbursed for my cellphone repair through SquareTrade has been incredibly tedious and frustrating. I had to call multiple times—at least three times I was assured that I would receive a check or some form of reimbursement, only to hear nothing each time. After weeks of waiting and calling again, I kept receiving the same empty promises. Finally I received an email for a virtual prepaid MasterCard. However, when I tried to redeem it, I encountered an error message: "Oops. There's an error on our side. Please try again soon." Several days later a tried again and finally I got access to my money.

    This entire experience has been beyond frustrating. Frankly, I cancelled my insurance and am looking elsewhere. The fact that I was repeatedly told I would be reimbursed, but then left in the dark for weeks, is unacceptable. If I hadn't called back, would I ever have been contacted? Is this a strategy to avoid paying claims? How many people forget or can't be bothered to call back, allowing you to avoid paying them? It's just ridiculous.

    In the beginning, I encountered some challenges with the repairs, but by the end of the day, I was contacted by Ruthann, an Allstate representative. She was exceptional and addressed all of my concerns and issues thoroughly. The level of service she provided gave me a new appreciation for how Allstate handles client concerns. I was pleasantly surprised by how efficiently they resolved my case.

    Due to the fact that I had to send my laptop in for repairs four times for the same issue, Allstate generously issued a full refund for the malfunctioning device. Based on this experience, I will continue to purchase Allstate Protection Plans for all my future electronics. I highly recommend their protection plans to others as well.

I submitted my claim online. Was able to determine which descriptions applied. I was able to save and return later to review and complete my claim. After receiving the acknowledgement from SquareTrade that my claim was submitted a few hours later I had my reply explaining the next steps. By the end of the second day my claim was approved. I do have to say that it was a very easy process.

    After 2 weeks of no resolution, I was offered a full refund today for my washer or a replacement. My issue is resolved.

    Original Review: July 1, 2024

    I purchased the plan at Home Depot when I purchased a Whirlpool washer. Less than 2 years old, after running a cycle 2 weeks ago, 3 lights are blinking and the machine will not start. I contacted Allstate, went through their reset instructions which did not solve the problem, then a claim was filed on 6/19, a part was overnighted to my house, and an appt with a tech scheduled for 6/25. The tech did not arrive on 6/25, when I contacted him, he was in another neighboring state and reported he did not cross the state line.

    I contacted Allstate, was told my case was being sent and expedited for a resolution. 2 days later, I was informed that I needed to find my own tech, pay for it and would be reimbursed. I went out to my HD store, the manager was on the phone with them for over an hour with also very little help or resolution. I scheduled my own appt with a tech for today 7/1. My tech arrived today, only to discover that the part they overnighted me was the wrong part! I have spoken with Allstate again today, been told again today my case was being sent and expedited and I am going on 2 full weeks of no resolution and not having a working washer. This plan has been a joke & not what we were sold on at Home Depot.

    I had a terrible experience the last time I called Allstate. They treated me very harshly and I don't plan to purchase a protection plan again from them. I purchased a protection plan for my children's stroller. The manufacturer is Pamo Babe and they’re based in China so, I don’t know how I’m supposed to contact them over the phone. I just emailed them and they haven't contacted me back. So, contacting Allstate about the situation would be a good idea. The gentleman stated that I needed to go back to the manufacturer and let them know and to wait for their email because the stroller was already within its first year of warranty. I let him know that I purchased an additional protection plan because I wanted to make sure that I have protection over any issues if it's within its first year and if some sort of issue was going on.

    It was very rude from the beginning because he asked me if I filed a claim online. Then, he told me to hang up and file a claim too, which was strange because I was already on the phone with him. I gave him all of my details and at that time, I was running on data. I didn't have Wi-Fi and I couldn't open up the web page while I was on the phone. So, I wasn't able to do it properly. Because of this mistreatment, I ended up asking for his supervisor.

    It was odd for a customer service representative to tell me twice that I needed to contact someone else when I was asking for their help. When I spoke to the supervisor, the supervisor doubled down on what he was saying and said that that's the procedure that they're supposed to handle, which I understand. They're supposed to ask the customer if they have filled out anything online and maybe route them over for their convenience. I get that. But if I'm on the phone with you and I've let you know I've already tried to contact the manufacturer, I expected more help. It got to the point where I asked for the supervisor's supervisor and I waited on hold. But I never got back in touch with anyone.

    I took an Allstate insurance plan from Costco when I purchased my refrigerator. I made a claim about a month ago. Someone came to repair it, and I have the same problem again. They're coming tomorrow. I've called the manufacturer four times since last October until May the 2nd. They came four times. The fifth time is last month, and then sixth time is this month for the same problem. Food is freezing in the drawers. I had to throw them. They keep coming and replacing the back panel and they say, "Now, it's good." And then a month and a half later, we have the same problem.

    I took pictures. I put a small Pyrex with water in it in one of the doors. I put it at 6 o'clock at night and the next morning, it was frozen completely and it's a block of ice. When I made the claim, Allstate told me that they have to come two times to repair. Then after that, they're gonna try to find a solution. They're surprised that I'm having this problem, and they keep coming for the same problem. It's frustrating because every time, I have to take a day off from my work.

    I had three claims with Allstate. One was for TV and it went really well. The second one was for a laptop and it went really, really bad. They told me that it had water but I told them that it was never in the water. They wouldn't listen to me and they wouldn't give me the laptop. The third one was for a TV and it went okay. The only thing is that you have to keep talking to people again and again, instead of just talking to one person. I didn't like that I have a Sony but they gave me a Samsung. It was okay because I like Samsung. But they should have given me the choice of having a Sony if I had a Sony before.

    I was very disappointed with the laptop. So I called up American Home Shield. I'm really happy with American Home Shield but they never told me it was gonna be another company when they said I was gonna be insured for my electronics. So they gave me a credit, which was nice. I wanted to get off of Allstate but I couldn't. You have to have it for a year. It was kind of stupid the way the customer service works there. I had to keep saying what was wrong with the TV for three times. At one point, the voicemail said that I could put my claim online. So I asked them how do I get online but they said, "Oh, no. You can't do it. Your type of problem, we have to go through us." But the company that I got it through was really good. They sent somebody out and replaced it. You get what you had before or at least close to it. You don't have to repeat everything 200 times. That was why I took the electronics insurance, but I didn't know it was gonna be through something else.

    Very polite staff, but their "technicians" don't make any effort to actually diagnose the problem and their system doesn't allow for problems to get fixed and instead customers must suffer through bureaucratic hell. Don't buy their plans. In my case, I bought a warranty for my LG washer which experienced a leak. I'm handy so I took the top lid off of the washer and confirmed that the leak was NOT coming from the detergent tray, the top bellows, the door seal, and the water intake valves. I opened a claim and patiently explained to the agent that the leak was coming from the bottom of the washer and that the parts that needed sent were the ones around the drain. Guy was polite and helpful and my claim was filed and a repair was scheduled for a week later. Two days later the parts arrived. They were a door seal and two intake valves - the exact parts that I told them were NOT the right ones.

    I called them back and explained the wrong parts were sent. Very helpful person who said they were escalating. Didn't hear a thing for three days. I called them back the day before the service and explained that the correct parts had still not arrived. Lady was condescending and dismissive this time. Next day the tech arrived from Goodman Home Solutions. Real sharp guy, he was here 5 minutes and confirmed that what I said was right and that the wrong parts were sent. Now SquareTrade opens a NEW claim and reschedules my service for TWO WEEKS later. No ability to escalate my claim. Very polite people, lots of apologies, no ability to talk to a manager or get my service escalated.

    My washer will have been broken for almost a month by the time this is fixed, if it even gets fixed. I have no confidence in SquareTrade. I have wasted so much time on the phone with these folks and while they are all very polite, their process is flawed and broken. Save your money. When you have appliance troubles contact a local appliance repairman. You will get service faster and better work will be done. AVOID SQUARETRADE!

    We've done protection plans before with appliances, but this is the first time we've needed it. I recently did a claim for our washer and dryer, and it was a super easy process. I got an error code on the dryer. So, I tried to Youtube it and see if it's something I can diagnose myself. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, turned the breaker on, and I was still getting the error code.

    I called Allstate and explained it to them. They walked me through the things to try, and I was able to confirm. They looked it up and said, “Yeah.” They didn't have a local repair guy in my area or someone that they had contracted with, so they said, “Use whomever you'd like in your area. Send us the invoice, and we'll take care of it as long as the estimate for the repair is not over the cost of the initial appliance.” The customer service guy really wanted to get the problem resolved. I called a repairman, and the guy came out and fixed it.

    Allstate sent me an email. I could click a link and follow it, and it had the information prefilled out. All I had to do was take a picture and upload the invoice and type in the amount, then Allstate sent me a gift card within a few days. Having Allstate is worth it for the peace of mind. One service call will cover the cost of the appliance. We all want deals where we can get it, but I thought the price of the plan was reasonable.

    The claim was initially approved by ST and the item was deemed 'unrepairable'. As the claim proceeded, the ST/Allstate 'back office' team flatly rejected the claim with the 'sole' comment - 'too many claims'. I shared the whole situation with COSTCO (purchase vendor) and their team tried hard to convince ST to reconsider - with the same result - rejection. It is important to note - even the COSTCO team agreed that 'too many claims' has no merit as each claim is reviewed on its own. Overall this experience with ST was a total disappointment.

    When I purchased the 3 year warranty, which says it starts the day of purchase I thought I would have the piece of mind that my problem would be taken care of by the warranty I purchased. However, that was not the case. Even though it starts on the date of purchase. I was told that since it was less than a year I would have to deal with the manufacturer. So in my eyes Allstate is passing the buck. First, question why am I having to pay for a warranty covering the first year after the purchase if Allstate is not going to honor it. So now I am dealing with the manufacturer, who is trying to wear me down so I give up. I won't give up.

    So after many back and forth emails, they are requiring me to send the unit back to them at my cost. So this ice maker has cost be $250.00 for initial purchase, $35.00 for a warranty that they company who issued it won't honor it, and $100.85 for shipping the product back to the manufacturer. So, so far the total cost of an ice maker that only worked for 6 months is $ 385.85. So what do I have now? NOTHING! Except out of $385.85. I also know that nothing will come of this review to resolve my problem or loss.

This public response is simply an act to make it seem like the company cares.

    Original Review: Called to discuss a claim for my bed frame that was denied. 5 different service reps and 2 supervisors. Impossible to communicate with them since they kept repeating the same thing: "I understand your concern. There's nothing we can do." Even the supervisors have no power to assist in refuting denied claims. They simply said the back-end office reviews claims, and the supervisors are unable to communicate with them. No help received. Save your $50 and put it towards your next purchase. SquareTrade will not honor their contracts.

    Purchased the plan for a couch that eventually had the springs in one cushion break. Tried multiple times to create an account on their website to file a claim, but every time it said that the email and password did not match for the account, even though I had just created it and literally copy/pasted the password. I then tried to chat with an individual by their chat option because they don't give a phone number on their website. I was told they were having problems with their website and to try later. Tried multiple times over multiple weeks only to get the same issue, so I eventually tried chatting again and was finally offered a phone number. By the time I was able to file a claim over the phone I was told my claim was instantly denied because the 30 day requirement was already passed. Scam artists.

    I emailed a claim to repair a PlayStation. They responded immediately and provided a postage paid mailing label to their company so that it could be repaired. Upon inspection of the PlayStation it was determined it was not repairable and covered the cost of the item which they will send me by check. They were efficient, responsive. Great service.

    I had purchased a robotic vacuum cleaner with a mop function. It became clear that the mop was not using any water for cleaning and in fact not mopping the floor. I got help opening my claim from chat support. A label was sent quickly. I boxed the vacuum and mailed it for repair. They confirmed the issue but that it could not be repaired. I promptly received a check for the amount that I paid. While I would have liked to not have a defective mop in the first place or maybe have it repaired successfully, I was pleased with the process of filing a claim and ultimately being reimbursed with minimal hassle.

    I purchased a Dell computer with a two year warranty by Allstate / Square Trade. One year into the warranty the computer stopped booting up. I opened the claim and sent the computer in. They soon sent me an email stating the computer had physical damage and could not be warrantied. They attached a picture showing the bottom of my computer being bulged up. The computer absolutely did not look like that when I shipped it out. Looking at the picture it seemed that the battery may have swelled up and caused it to bulge during shipping. This I would think would be covered under the warranty. It is a common problem and I seen it happen before on a work computer.

    They immediately shipped it back without being fixed. The so called damage they sent a picture of was not even present when I got the computer back. One question I had was it even my computer they sent the picture of. I tried to refile the claim to send it back and they refused. They stated physical damage was present and there is nothing they can do. No matter how much I argued and even explained that one, a swelling battery would do this and two this is not even present in my computer that was returned to me. There is no physical damage to this PC present. Did not matter. They told once damage was documented there was nothing they could do? So now I have a useless paperweight. I have already filled a claim with the Better Business Bureau.

    First I have been given the run around. I called as soon as possible about the stain. Got a cleaning kit that made it worst, and still got denied. Felt like they just did not want to help. They promised a refund and to set up a cleaning that was supposed to be free. And I am still waiting on that

    Everything was good except I thought when they sent me a different TV of comparable value, it wasn’t. Old one had DVD PLAYER ON SIDE. VALUE APPROX $150.00. New one NO DVD PLAYER ON SIDE. APPROX VALUE $85.00! Didn’t realize this through all frustration of just getting this far. I assumed new Tv have DVD player also. Very disappointed! I even had call back week later because confirmation had not been sent out to accept TV. I do not have claim #, never thought be need again.

    Had good experience with Allstate for my TV. No issue. Quick to resolve. They quickly took the claim and sent a new TV. I was glad it was simple and not difficult to take care of the issue with the TV set. I would recommend Allstate to others because of how quick they take care of things and they were nice about it all. No attitude. Thank you Allstate.

    8 days for tech to arrive. Was asked if washer/dryer was stacked, I replied affirmatively. Clerk asked about assisting separating the two, replied that I would assist tech. When tech did arrive, he went on about how he couldn't separate even with my help. Machine STILL in need of repair. No contact from Allstate about what happens now.

    My TV wasn’t working correctly, I called and got a person to talk to right away. He had me do a few troubleshooting items. He then talked to Vizio and then had me talk with them directly. She had me fill out online form with pictures and then she told me I would receive full refund in the mail. Still waiting for check. Great service.
