    The item that I was trying to get replaced wasn't there anymore. Allstate could replace it with something of equal value. The lady I spoke with said I would get a list of things that I can choose from. They gave me the list of dryer coils. The thing I was trying to get replaced was a little girl's Minnie Mouse moped. Allstate did not replace it. They instead offered me two coils to fix a dryer. When I tried to call back, Allstate put me through a whole runaround and it took me two days to even get to that part.

    I purchased the warranty at the store and I didn't know that it was gonna be through Allstate. When I called the store, they referred me to Allstate. The bureaucracy of it all was **. I just gave up and said, "Allstate just screws people over, I guess." My little girl has a broken scooter sitting in the living room right now that's still under a two-year warranty that I paid for at the store.

    Response from Allstate Protection Plans

    Hello Abdel Hejavi,

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

    SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and a reimbursement is typically an option reserved for atypical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our consumers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of the resolutions is based on several factors, such as the cost of the repair, the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the coverage limits of the plan and so on

    We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and come to an amicable resolution for your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

    Thank you,

    HG

    Having Allstate’s coverage is very valuable. I got it from the store where I purchased my headphones. I filed a claim online when the headphones weren't working and the process was pretty fast. Allstate sent me another pair of headphones. I was bothered that it wasn't the same brand but they figured it was something that was comparable. They work.

    My 18‑year‑old son had an accident and smashed his phone when he put his book bag down too aggressively. I remembered I had purchased protection when I bought the phone at Walmart. I checked my email and saw it was still within the two‑year warranty period. It was an iPhone XR, and even though it’s an older phone, it was still in good condition.

    I found the protection link in my email, and it went through Allstate’s website. Submitting the claim was very easy. They found a phone of equal or lesser value and mailed it to our house.

    We received it in about two or three days. We used the same box to mail back the broken phone. That was it. The entire claim process took about two weeks at most. Overall, I’m super satisfied.

    Like everything else made in this world, the foot spa I bought was probably cheaply made and would eventually tear up, so I got the Allstate protection plan on it. It quit working and it was easy to submit the claim, but they issued me a partial refund only. It wasn't even for the full amount that I bought it for, and nobody said anything as to why. They couldn't find a replacement within a reasonable amount of differences or similarities, so they refunded $19 and some change, and I bought it for $19.99, plus I paid for the protection policy on it. I guess they refunded me the amount without tax, but they were technically still short at 50 cents or so.

    Hi Ashley H,

    We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.

    SquareTrade offers coverage for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical issues and, when the accidental plan is purchased, physical damage. However, our Terms & Conditions state that there is a limit of liability set for each plan, which indicates the coverage amount. In the consumer’s case, the replacement value exceeded the item’s price. We are sorry for any frustration the consumer experienced due to this.

    Again, we are very sorry for any frustration you have endured with the resolution provided. One of our specialists has reached out to you in order to further discuss this.

    Thank you,

    The dog got into the couch and ate the electronics. We had purchased the extra warranty with Allstate, and luckily, that covered it.

    It took two months with the go-between because, initially, it was a bit of a mess. They said we weren't covered, and then they said we were. They were gonna send somebody out, and then they said that we had passed the timeframe to get it.

    They finally sent somebody to repair it. When we actually got it scheduled and got somebody out here, he was fantastic. He was super fast, really professional. Now, the couch works perfectly.

    When I buy anything, I want to have long term usability. If something that breaks, I don't want to waste my money. Mainly, I’m thinking for the protection. I purchased multiple devices. I purchased a stud finder and another device. I always look for the availability of a protection plan.

    I bought one calculator for my daughter. It was not working fine. And also, my daughter has exams, so I requested for a claim. Allstate Protection Plans didn't respond properly. I had to call multiple times to get that refund. They asked me to send the calculator to their warehouse, but I can't send that device because my daughter has exams, so it will take a longer time if I mail it to you and it can come back.

    Even though I bought online, I had to upload all the receipts. That's a pain for me. I need to go back and find the receipt. You should have all the information from the store I'm bought from. But instead, I need to verify and upload all the documents. That's a pain for me.

    When we purchased the ice maker, an extended warranty popped up. We accepted it and paid for it. We got a new ice maker and an extended warranty on it, too. It quit making ice and was leaking a little bit. Submitting a claim with Allstate wasn't that difficult. I just called on it and the representatives were helpful. The claim process took about three weeks and Allstate was willing to satisfy the claim. The reps scheduled to send out a service tech. He came, and as soon as he saw the unit, he said, “They don't make parts for it. We can't do anything with it.” We filled out a report, sent it back to Allstate, and they sent us a check for what we initially paid for it.

    It was my first time ever working with Allstate's claims service, and I was very pleased. I got it for a Fitbit Charge 5 tracker. All of a sudden, it would stop functioning in the middle of a run. You normally would assume that it ran out of battery strength, but that wasn't it because as soon as it was placed on a charging cable, it showed it had anywhere from 60 to 80% charge on the Fitbit itself. So there was something going on. I bought the 2-year protection plan when I got it, and it was still under that warranty.
    I called up and talked to Fitbit and they gave me a link to Allstate, which was handling the claim. And I filled out. It was very simple and straightforward. Upon receipt of the claim, I got notification that the claim has been accepted. I got one follow-up question from it, and then I got a reply that the new piece was on its way, and that was it. Then the piece showed up in my mail. It was pretty painless and there was a quick turnaround too.

    I would recommend anybody who buys a device that's being serviced by Allstate's claim department to buy the claim, to spend the money. I would. I didn't expect to need it, but it was a good investment. It was a pleasant surprise.

    I had Allstate car insurance for a while. I wanted my headphones to last for a year, at least. The coverage was like $3 or $4, so I might as well get it. I got the insurance from Walmart. Filing a claim with Allstate, but they messed up. They sent me new ones from BOLOXA, but they die really quickly, like they're not brand new. That's fine if they weren't brand new. I was hoping they would hold the charge for a while because they go dead real quick. I probably wouldn't get Allstate anymore. They sent me something that doesn't really work. I might as well buy a new one. If they had sent me a pair of headphones that were charging right, I would have been more likely to use the insurance again. I'm planning on buying a TV and I'm not gonna get their insurance.

    I have a Fitbit Versa 3. It quit syncing and it would not pair back. I sent it in for repair and they had it almost 3 weeks. I got it back. It lasted 24 hours, and it unsynced and wouldn’t pair again. So I sent it back again and I just got it back yesterday. They told me that it synced and paired fine with several devices, that no repair was done. So I have it on today and so far, it’s syncing and doing right.

    In terms of the process, it was easy to send it in. They emailed me a FedEx label. I put it in the FedEx label on a package, and they sent it off. But it was hard getting updates and trying to find out what’s going on. They kept telling me they were waiting on a part. I was asking what was wrong with it but I never got that answer.

    When filing a claim, I had to go back through my Walmart app, back through my protection plan, sign into that, and then do a chat. That was the most difficult part because you’re trying to explain to them what’s going on, and it’s like some things were lost in translation. I also had to find a thing and it’s not easily found. You have to do a claim, go back and you have to read the response. Then you have to go back and find the responses again, and it’s not as fluid as it should be.

    But other than that, I’m satisfied. The Fitbit is syncing and working right. They said that if it quits, I can send it back again. The price was reasonable for two extra years at $20.

    I actually purchased this warranty for two TVs, a Hisense and a TCL. Since TCL is a cheaper brand compared to something like Samsung, I just wasn't sure if it was going to go out in a year or break down. So, I went and got a protection plan for it since it was affordable. I bought the one TV on Black Friday, and when it eventually went out, they couldn't find a replacement at that same price point, so they just sent me a check instead. For the other TV, they sent me a replacement.

    I did have to file a claim, and at first, it was a bit difficult because I’m not very tech-savvy. The representative had me plugging things in and asking the same questions repeatedly, which was frustrating. My boyfriend eventually took over the call and it went smoothly after that, but when I had to deal with them again on my own, I was actually shocked by how easy and smooth the process was. Both times, the representatives were really nice, patient, and knowledgeable. They were very helpful, though the language barrier was the only issue. Sometimes that just drives you crazy.

    When the replacement TV was delivered to my house, it was damaged, so I had to put it back in the box and send it back. That was an easy process. Once I sent that one back, they sent another one out really quick, like in three days, and everything was fine after that. They just told me to discard the old TVs however I discard them. Overall, it was a good experience and everything was good.

    I had Allstate for my TV and the experience was good. When my TV was broken, Allstate replaced my TV. The only thing I'm a little bit confused about is when I bought the TV at Costco, they told me that Allstate would return the money. I paid $500 for the TV, and I was thinking of getting the money, choosing the brand and buying myself a new one. But it was a different story. Allstate replaced my Sony TV with CSL. CSL is around $230 and Sony around $600. It was the same type of TV, but different levels. When I talked to the agent, I told him I didn’t want Sony, I wanted Samsung or LG ‘cause all of them are on the same level, and he sent me a link. When I clicked on it, I got only two brands, CSL and another one, but not Sony, Samsung or LG. But they treated me well, and everything was professionally done.

    I would say I’m very satisfied with Allstate. I don't usually get protection plans for items under $100, but I have two teenagers, and I don't want to keep buying their phones. I made sure the extra $20 covered spills and cracks.

    I ended up buying two cellphones at that point and got them both covered, and I'm really glad because the screen on the Tracfone cellphone cracked, so the touch function would not work. It was pretty easy to start a claim. Everything went smoothly and I didn't have any problems. I found the book, which said to send a picture of the receipt. After I filled a claim form, they sent me a label and I shipped the item back.

    I got a couple of emails saying I was getting an e-gift card. The first one said the next business day, but I didn’t get it. Then the other email came, saying it would take seven to 10 business days, so I ended up getting it on the 10th day. I just went back to Walmart and bought the same phone.

    I never really thought I'd use it, but it was nice I had it, so I got the protection plan on the next one. If it could be broken or damaged, go ahead and buy the plan. Allstate is really easy to work with. It’s super convenient and easy to get something replaced for a refund.

    The last item that I purchased the Allstate Protection plan for was an HP laptop for my grandson. And my grandson dropped his laptop and cracked the screen. And so, I sent it in for repair. And then when they sent it back, my grandson said it wasn’t his laptop because it had stickers on it, and he had no stickers on his. And so, I sent that one back, and then they turned around and sent it back to me again.

    And come to find out that what they’ve done is they put a different outside, like the keyboard case thing on it to cover, because they had to replace a few things in it. And that’s the result. It was the back cover, they said, that was fixed. And it has lots of serial numbers and stuff on it. But we were going by what it looked like when you open it up. And you would see there were stickers on the keyboard, and he had no stickers. They were little girl stickers. And he’s 14 years old. 

    And Allstate just said that that was his. And they didn’t reimburse anything. They told us to keep the one we had. And I thought it was not right, but my grandson was already getting so far behind in his schoolwork, because he uses his laptop for schoolwork, that I couldn’t afford to send it back to Allstate again. And they weren’t even gonna do anything about it.

    But everybody at Allstate was really nice. I think there was a big disconnect between the people I would call and talk to about it and the repair people. I never got to talk to the repair people. It was all through the representatives who would answer the phone, and all of those gentlemen were extremely nice.

    So, overall, I’m not really happy about the way it came back. The way it came back, not only did it have stickers on it, but there were also nicks around it, like it had been pried open. And he takes very good care of his stuff because he knows I’m anal about it. And if he ever wants something electronic, he’s gotta take care of what he's got.

    Allstate did a very good job. I thought I'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops, but I didn't. They recognized that I had a serious problem with the product and honored the claim. I purchased a portable generator inverter on eBay, and the protection plan was included with the purchase. The electric start wouldn’t work, and the manufacturer tried to help me troubleshoot it even though it was out of warranty. They couldn't fix it, so they recommended that I file a claim with Allstate. I started filling out the paperwork online and there was a note that said certain items couldn’t be shipped. Knowing that I had already put gasoline in the generator and used it via pull start, I went and looked at the fine print of the note, and it said that I couldn't ship that generator due to the fact that it was gasoline and oil. I finished that process online, but the subscript note had a telephone number for me to call. I called the number and after about a 10-minute conversation about what had happened, what we had done to try and fix it with the manufacturer, they decided that it wasn't effective, and that they would reimburse me the money that I paid for it.

    Allstate Protection Plans has been amazing, and it’s just been wonderful to have. I have four boys, so having an extended warranty is really valuable. We have several iPads that our sons used for their schoolwork while being homeschooled. They broke, so we sent them in, and they came back amazing.

    The whole process was very easy and just really great. They sent a FedEx label, but I actually forgot to do it and called back a month later. They were able to send a new one out immediately, and I didn't even have to go through the whole process again. Allstate was just the first one I kind of came across, and the customer service has been great and wonderful.

    Allstate protection plan is really valuable. I bought a headset two years ago, one of the speakers on it went out, and it was still covered under warranty, so having Allstate protection plan on it helped me out a lot. They reimbursed it because that particular set was obsolete at the time. With my last coffee pot, I plugged it in and there were no lights or anything whatsoever on it. I didn't know if I was still covered under that, so I had to go back through my log in SquareTrade, found out it was still under warranty, so I went ahead and filed a warranty on it. There was a little bit of confusion ‘cause it was hard for me to get logged in and find the coffee pot on there, but it was on there, and the guy was very patient, helped me out a lot on that and made things a lot easier. So, he was great. I always tell friends and family, if they offer Allstate, go ahead and get it because for the price, it's absolutely worth it. To me, it's better than the warranties that you get from other places.

    We bought a washer four years ago and I took out an Allstate extended warranty through the place where I bought it from and it now needed to be serviced. The customer service was good overall. It was slow at the beginning. but I was satisfied in the end. Having a warranty is very valuable. It probably would have cost $500 to $600 for the repairs and we didn't pay anything.

    The TV freezes up every so often. But because it's a periodical issue, Allstate doesn't care to help me with that. I should throw a bucket of water on it to make it totally not work before they'll do anything for me. I unplug it when it freezes and plug it back in and reset it. And I'll be good for another couple days.

    I paid for a warranty but I didn't read the warranty fine print. You have to read with a microscope before you can see that. It said if somebody comes out to fix it and they can't see that it's wrong at that moment they can’t do anything. And that's my problem. It's not 100% happening all the time.

    They can't come out and see it at the time. I'm in a situation where I have a problem and it's an unfixable problem. When I called and talked with somebody,it was somebody from another far country. You could almost feel that it was their job to make sure that they didn't have to replace the TV. They made me feel like I purchased something that I would never have been able to use anyway.

    I've dealt with them a couple three times. They asked me to record my problem. I recorded it. But yet, they said, ''That's not good enough.'' On the second call, it still wasn't good enough. I kept being pushed and kicked down the road every time. So I'm done with it.

    I'm sure if the TV totally went out and would not come back on, and I had a servicemen come over and see that it absolutely did not work at all, they may have helped me. I didn't like the experience at all. I don't believe I would ever buy another Allstate insurance plan again. There's some others that have better ones that maybe didn't have that clause that you see in it where it's got to be 100% totally broken before they would do anything about it, or be able to find the problem. I would be very, very leery of ever buying a insurance again.

    Why pay $50 more dollars for insurance when you can just use that to buy another one and replace it, and throw it out yourself. It's not worth the hassle.

    I had a 7 or 8-quart air fryer that got messed up. I went online and I was able to choose what I wanted whether it was the refund or replacement. I chose the replacement one but when I saw what they were offering, I just left it like that.

    On the website, they were offering me a 2-quart one for the same price and it was not compatible to the one I originally had. I didn’t see that make any sense.

    Hello Nelly Alvarado,

    We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience.

    SquareTrade always strives to offer repair and replacement solutions as our top priority, and a reimbursement is provided when the initial options are unavailable. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of these solutions depends on several factors, such as the cost of repair, the purchase price of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the coverage limits of the plan, and so on.

    We appreciate your time in reviewing us, and we look forward to providing a better experience in the future.

    I purchased AirPods, and I got the Allstate Protection Plan for them because it was the one that they recommended through Walmart. And I just used the warranty because the AirPods stopped working, either from water damage or something, and Allstate was great. The whole claim process took a week. They got back to me, and then they were looking into replacing it, but they couldn’t find a replacement, so then they sent me a gift card. And the gift card was enough for a replacement, but I wound up just getting a new set because I figured I might as well. So, having this warranty is very valuable.

At first, we went through Costco’s concierge service, but they said it wasn’t a product failure, it was physical damage. So I filed a claim with Allstate for accidental damage. They had me send in the laptop, replaced the battery, and sent it back.

    The computer started working again, but there are still other issues. It had problems with overheating, and the damage seemed to be around where the power cable plugs in. Allstate is good with me. They accepted my claim, sent it to a repair shop, and handled it as they saw it.

    Allstate SquareTrade is not worth the paper it is written on. You just waste your money. They will find any excuse not to cover what you paid to have covered. It is a garbage company based on nothing but lies in my opinion and from my experience. I paid $120.00 for an extended warranty on a Frigidaire range. The range arrived with faulty heating elements. The clowns in the Third World Country where Frigidaire has their products manufactured didn't bother to put the serial number sticker on the range, so Frigidaire, being the low life company that they are refuses to cover the repair and SquareTrade uses the excuse that the issue is a manufacturing issue not to cover the repair. They are both worthless swine that just steal money from consumers.

The 2nd blender broke so I was going to use the protection plan to replace it. I contacted Allstate but was told since it was less than a year I would have to go through the manufacturer's warranty.

    I bought a GE Dryer from Home Depot 2 years ago and bought a 5 year service plan at that time. My Dryer went out before Christmas and due to the holidays could not get out to my house until January 2. At that time, they changed it to the 3rd between 1:00 - 3:00. The repair person did not call or show up. I called the contractor who said he would be late because they were swamped. Called back at 05:00 and at that point it went to voice mail... He texted me back and said they could not make it out and that they would be out at 11:00 on Saturday. Received a text from the contractor at 11:00 on Saturday stating he did not have insurance to work on my premises. This did not make sense to me at all.

    Called the Allstate Insurance Protection Plan which is actually SquareTrade and let them know my situation. The customer support person told me that she was escalating the issue and someone would get back to me in one to two business days...So it will be over two weeks on Monday and have been without a dryer.

    My sister-in-law sent our HP laptops in for repair within the "warranty time". She sent them because the two laptops were bought as a special offer for two HP laptops, so she made the original order. Both HPs malfunctioned, so both were returned. When they were returned, hers was fixed, mine was not. She sent mine back with instructions to deliver to my house.

    The delivery was not made on the designated Friday, because the driver said no one was home (no car in the driveway). However, my college-age son was home, no knock on the door, no doorbell, and our dog did not bark at all -- she can sense the mailman from 50 feet away. So, I had to wait until the following Monday, which was disappointing. Eventually, I was able to use my laptop. It seems to work well, but it does not always automatically (immediately) connect to my home internet, despite the settings. Today, it's starting to act slow and glitchy.

    I reported 2 Nintendo switch controllers11/10/24 and the claims were accepted and I was instructed to return the items which I did! I have yet to receive my refund for the second controller of $49.99.I only got a refund of $43.17 as I used that shipping label of that claim. There was a whole mix up. When I had initially reported the controllers the representative created 2 separate claims then I was instructed to return items and that I be receiving a shipping label and then he said he had “processed claims wrong and my new claim was accepted and my refund would be of $86.34 for both controllers” however that claim confirmation was never emailed to me and so I never got the shipping label for that last claim he processed the items under together.

    When I was ready to return the items I asked again which shipping label to use as I never got the email with claim representative had processed last and I was told to use 1 of the shipping labels from the other emails I did get for the claims that were processed “incorrectly” and so I did and I have so far received refund of 1 controller even though I return both in same box with using shipping label from claim # ** ($43.17) and still missing the refund for claim #** ($49.99). I did what I was told to do. Used 1 shipping label for both controllers and I also included 2 separate claim forms with the claim #s referenced above as I never got the last claim # rep. Had processed last for $86.34.

    I have called and keep being told I hear back within 2 business days after I had already signed a affidavit and they somehow had to re-accept the claim for the second controller and I have yet to receive the refund or the callbacks I keep being told I’d get once my claim is “investigated further”, not sure what exactly needs to be investigated as 1 white box contained both of the black controllers and 2 separate claim forms with 2 different claim #s!

    Another issue is I don’t know if the representatives note the account or not because every time I call I have to re-explain everything and somehow each time a new claim needs to be created for the second controller they already have received since 12/9/2024 per Fedex tracking and also partial refund I’ve received for controller #1 that was in same box! They should have all these calls/chats recorded as they advise the customer when they call.

    All I want is the refund for the second controller they already have and I had no use keeping as it doesn’t keep charge! If there was a issue it’s on their employees giving incorrect information! Also I found a missed call which didn’t say where they were calling me from and it was made at 9 pm ET which is very unprofessional as customers expect calls during business hours not bedtime hours.

    The hinge on the left side of the door broke and would no longer allow the door to seal properly. Repair man said that replacing the particular part that failed would warrant replacing the entire dishwasher rather than a costly repair. We have received a check in the full amount of the Kitchen Aid and are pleased with Square Trade’s handling of the matter and will purchase future extended warranties through them.

    Not great, I followed what I was supposed to do in regards to finding a repair company to quote my dishwasher. I had a hard time sending my quote repair in but was told to send it via email. I did. Have not heard anything back and my dishwasher is still not fixed. I've never had to do this route of service of doing it all myself only to be told the fix would cost me more than the machine cost us. Very disappointed with Squaretrade/Allstate.

    On December 11, 2024, I filed a claim for a broken cell phone with Allstate/SquareTrade. I was instructed to take my phone to a specific authorized service center for the repair (which I did). The only issue with my phone was a broken camera. However, when I visited the Apple Store, I was told they could not perform a simple camera replacement and that I would need to purchase an entirely new phone.

    Before agreeing to this, I contacted SquareTrade on December 12, 2024, at 12:24 p.m., to confirm if my service plan would cover the replacement. I clearly explained the situation and asked if a replacement phone would be covered under my plan. The SquareTrade representative assured me that as long as I replaced the phone with the exact same make and model, the replacement would be covered. I then submitted my claim, including the necessary receipts, and received a refund check, minus $154.97.

    However, when I later reached out to Allstate/SquareTrade to clarify the discrepancy, I was informed that my replacement was only covered up to the amount I originally paid for the phone. This was a different response than I had been given earlier, and I was shocked to learn that I would be responsible for an additional cost.

    I explained that this was not the information I was given initially, and I asked them to review the recording of my conversation with their representative. I also pointed out that SquareTrade had directed me to the Apple Store for the repair, where my phone was deemed unrepairable and I was forced to purchase a replacement at an inflated price.

    As a result, I feel that my extended warranty was essentially rendered useless, as I was forced to pay for a new phone because of misinformation from SquareTrade and the refusal of Apple to address a simple repair. I believe I am owed the $154.97 that I was unfairly charged, as I was never informed that this would be my responsibility

    Bought the family phone (4) protection plan for $19.99 a month. Had a phone with a screen that stopped working and tried to make a claim via the website. The website indicated I would receive a link to upload documents that I never received. I uploaded the required receipt to the website, and the next day got an email saying how nice it was to have spoken with me (never happened) and that I needed to upload a receipt. I uploaded the receipt again, to find out that now two of the phones on my plan were the same phone. I chatted with a representative, who couldn't help me and told me this was elevated to some new level, and refused to authorize repair of the phone.

    The next day, I got a request for photos and more information about the phone. I submitted that information. I then got another request to send further photos of the box the phone came in. Still waiting for a response on that one, and it's not clear whether Allstate will honor their agreement to fix or replace a broken phone. Seems like that is what I pay $19.99 a month for, but instead, all I get is a request for more and more information, with a promise that once I submit that, they will process my claim. If we actually get authorization, I then need to upload the repair receipt into their broken system, and go through the maze again. I'd be better off saving the $19.99 a month in a separate account and paying for repairs myself.

    I have filed 2 claims within the past day. We purchased the protection plans with our appliances from NFM. For both I had to run around and do troubleshooting for them and try to find model numbers which on the washer was easy but on the dishwasher that is secured into the cabinet is next to impossible. After arguing with the representative I finally got an appointment scheduled for the dishwasher.

    However, the washer we are still in a holding pattern because we have to supply burden of proof that there is something wrong with the washer rather than them just sending out a technician to take care of the issue. I could have a reapairman here this week and the problem resolved in a day or 2 but now I will be lucky if this gets resolved in the next week.

    It is absolutely ridiculous that when we purchased the plan we were told we just needed to file the claim online and a technician would be sent to our home. We were not told we would have to fix it ourselves or supply proof that there was a problem before a technician might even show up. I will not by another protection plan from this company and will tell everyone I know to run away as fast as they can. It is one big scam!

    *WARNING* Allstate Squaretrade uses false/misleading advertisement on their partner websites (like ebay) to sell extended warranties that do not actually provide the coverage they allude to. Furthermore if you try to file a claim through the "helpful link" included in the item description of eBay, it routinely takes you to a blank page. I had to manually copy and paste the link into a browser to get to the claims page. From there it's only an automated process with no direct contact information to reach an agent; and even though it specifically states in their advertisements that drop coverage is included, it doesn't tell you anywhere that cracked screens aren't covered. $60 worth of coverage that is absolutely useless. A convoluted and intentionally difficult to navigate claims/ contact process, and intentionally misleading sales verbiage is all you'll get out of their cell phone policy. 0/10 would not recommend.

    I called SquareTrade under the extended warranty contract that I took when I purchased this dishwasher at Nebraska Furniture Mart. The dishwasher door recently started making a "snapping" noise when it was opened to the bottom of its travel. The noise sounded like the plastic toe-plate at the bottom, that covers the front of the unit from the floor up to the door hinge, was being pressed and then released, creating the "snap." The repair technician responded to a phone call the day before the appointment, which I initiated to confirm the appointment and to notify him that I had received repair parts from SquareTrade. He showed up on time, and confirmed that it was, indeed, the toe-plate. He repositioned it, tightened it down, and it was fixed.

    The color on the TV was going out, I suppose. Had a Blue shadow around people and would follow them wherever they went. Seem to be getting worse by the time I got the New one. It arrived fast, which surprised me, I must say. They were great in the service of replacement and that is really hard to find these days. TV was just over a year old I think, a very good one though, even though it had this happen. Great job! THANKS.

    I can't believe I couldn't get nothing done. First I had was treated like a criminal and had to take pictures of the back TV in front of the TV everywhere from Phillips and then they wouldn't cover it and then I went to anyway. Walmart should offer the accident plan not just say, "Do you want a protection plan" because it don't cover crap. Don't cover anything. I'll never buy another warranty ever especially from Walmart.

    We apologize for any dissatisfaction with your recent experience with us.

    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 protect against physical damage. While SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our consumers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

    I got the insurance for a pair of headphones for the computer. My history with the headphones has been less than great so I got it insured because they tend to break within a year. It ended up being a worthwhile investment. One day, half of the headphones stopped working. The left earphone just cut out and was producing no sound whatsoever. The claims process was fairly simple. The only issue I had was the product number for the item itself wasn't listed anywhere on the box or the order information for it. So, I had to tell Allstate, "Sorry, I don't have this. Here's the best guess of what it would be." But other than that, it was an easy process.

    They emailed me confirming that the initial batch of suggested replacements were all not supported by the hardware I was gonna be using it for. So, I prompted, "Is there anything else you can offer than these? None of these will really work." Then they replied, "Oh, yeah, here's a replacement of the same type," which was okay. I emailed it back saying, "Okay. Yes, that's fine. I accept this." It was a smooth process, overall. It was a very good process.

    I got Allstate through Walmart for a Cinderella carriage ring. It was our 20th anniversary ring that my husband had bought for me. When the sapphire had fallen out of the ring, I filed a claim with Allstate and the claims process was wonderful. It took me 10 minutes. That was probably the quickest filing of a claim that I've ever done in my life, and I was very impressed about that.

    I didn't get paid the amount that I spent on the ring and when I went to try to get a replacement ring, they no longer carried that ring at Walmart so I just got groceries with the money. I wish that I could've replaced the ring, but all in all, I was very happy. I'd purchased that ring three times. On the third time, I happened to see the brochure about the protection plan. It was only $15. They didn't tell me about it but I asked if I could get it and they said yes. But it took a long time to even get anybody there. They're not on hand with a lot of things. They tend to ignore people. The people themselves are not hands-on with recommending it, but I would still recommend it. Allstate works. They cover you.

    We had NFM deliver an LG washer and dryer set.

Then they brought this one, and this one has been iffy. I am not happy. This washer has been having issues ongoing, and I've called LG. We did some problem solving with them, and they were nice enough to try and help us. It was back working but the washer quit working. They said to call and file a claim.

    Allstate ordered a part in. The guy came and put in the part but then said they'd be back in a couple weeks because they had to replace the motherboard. The guy said, "We'll get you a tracking number for the motherboard.” I said, "Can you give me the tracking number now?” He said, "It'll be tomorrow before we get a tracking number.” For something like a refrigerator and a washer or dryer, they need to prioritize that. I've been without a washer at least three weeks now, and I have special needs kids. I've spent $200 at the laundromat already.

    Allstate had me scheduled for an appointment last week then sent me a text saying the appointment was gonna be canceled and had to be moved. I called them and they said they'd send me a $50 check. It puts a dent in the situation, but it doesn't help. I'm supposed to have my washer fixed Wednesday, fingers crossed. They shipped the motherboard and we're waiting on that to be put in. I'm a strong believer in taking out policies, and Allstate's price is affordable, but if you're gonna have to order in three major parts, is it worth tying up all this time?

    You're told one thing and then you find out it's something different. When I first put in the claim, Allstate said, "Okay. It qualifies under the warranty, so we'll replace it with something of equal value 'cause we can't replace it with what you had, or what you had wasn't available." I had an upright carpet cleaner. But they sent me options for handheld carpet cleaners that were a value of less than 50% of what I paid for the original one, the one I had. So, I called back. It takes forever to try to figure out how to get through their system to get to a person. I ended up getting back to a person. I told them that I couldn't accept any of those because I needed an upright one. I bought it upright because I have disabilities. I can't use a handheld. They said, "All right." They had to put it in for review to see if it would be approved to offer me something different. It would take two to three business days.

    About a week and a half later, I had to go through the process again. I called back and the person said, "It would take a business day or two to do it." I said, "It's been a week and a half. I'm wondering if anything's been heard about it." He said, "Well, I need to escalate it and somebody should get ahold of you in one to two business days." Then two days later, I got an email that said they couldn't replace the product. So, they would give me my money back in the form of a Walmart gift card. If I didn't want the Walmart gift card, they'd send me a check, but I needed to let them know which way to go. So, you just check a button if you'll take the Walmart gift card, and that was what I did. Then they sent me another email with a code in it that said, "You could take this to the Walmart store and they'll scan it and It'll be good." But then they had trouble scanning it and finally got that problem resolved at the Walmart store.

    It's a hassle when you have a specific problem and you have to spend a lot of time on the phone trying to get ahold of a person that understands what you're saying to resolve the problem. But other than that, Allstate made good on it. So I was happy. But it was a pretty big hassle to do it. I did have to replace it because I needed to get another vac right away.

When I got it back, you could tell that it was fixed and it didn't have the superficial cracks anymore, but now the inside screen has scratches on it that it did not have previously. There's a bunch of dirt, dust and hair fibers all around the screen. Some had even gotten trapped inside the screen. I feel they just did a quick switch of the screen and didn't care about how they were sending it back. They should be a tad bit more considerate when work is being done.

    When I reached out to them, the only thing they could offer me was for me to send it back out. They didn't tell me how it would go about if they were fixing the inside screen, which I don't know if it's possible because of the way it looks or if I would be getting a new tablet. Allstate did what they could do. But I wasn't happy with the fact that they had my daughter's tablet for a little over a week and I got it back even more damaged. My daughter does schooling on there and the day I got it back, they wanted me to send it right back.

I sent it out June 19th. I did not have my issue resolved with them until after my daughter started school sometime in August. They had problems contacting the repair company that they use that was supposed to communicate. I called several times and had to be escalated to management because they kept telling me the same thing, to wait for an email. I never received an email from the company that would fix it.

    They resolved my issue by replacing the item. They purchased it from Amazon. Very clearly, it said to confirm the package was sealed and to call them if there were any problems. When I opened the package, because it was sealed with their paper tape, and there was no phone inside of the box that came in the package. That was very frustrating to deal with after taking several weeks to deal with that. I called again. They tried to tell me something else along the line, to wait for an email. I had been going through it for five weeks by that point. I was, “No. I wanna talk to a supervisor.”

    The supervisor issued me a refund of the protection plan. They took care of it. But it was extremely frustrating to have to deal with the same answers for the problem. “Wait for an email. Wait for an email.” I never received an email all the way up until way after when they deemed the item irreparable. Other than that, I always had a great time with Allstate. I have them for my cell phone that I have through a carrier. I was just happy that I was able to get the situation resolved and they took care of it. Even though it took several weeks, they made it right by refunding me the money of the purchase and the money that we paid for the warranty with. My daughter already had the phone for a year.

    I will never buy a protection plan with Allstate again. I would first like to state that I shop at Sam's Club and Wayfair which both offer protection plans and that I always purchase. But this is a scam, the company only covers what the manufacturer covers, it was sold and marketed as if they cover accidental damage which it does not. I called to make a claim and was told after the first call which I was told their system was down and that I needed to call them back, second call was told that even though there is no damage to the screen from cracking that because the picture was spider webbed that is was not covered. I will never be a customer of Allstate and for this marketing lies I will make sure that everyone that I can help not to be scammed by them knows never to buy this. I wish there was a zero star. I warn you. NEVER buy THIS Warranty. You will be better over to register with the manufacturer. This is a scam.

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. While SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our consumers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

    I broke my headphones. It was a pain in the butt filing a claim with Allstate because they wanted pictures and they took so long. I went and bought a separate pair of headphones to use for the time being. Then the headphones they sent me were not even the right ones. They're not compatible with the video game that I use the headphones for. So, I have a pair of headphones that are pretty much useless. I didn't even bother calling them back because it was such a pain just to make the claim. I figured it was not worth my time or effort to fight with them.

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Allstate’s TV Protection Plan, and I must say I am thoroughly disappointed with the service and the limitations of the coverage. I filed a claim after experiencing issues with my TV, only to be told that the problem—image burn-in—was not covered under their plan. Allstate's explanation for this was that burn-in, which is essentially discoloration or remnants of previous images on the screen, is categorized as panel damage and falls under their exclusions. According to the terms and conditions, they do not cover damage caused by burn-in, misuse, accidental damage, or cosmetic issues that do not affect the device's functionality.

    To make matters worse, I was informed that this particular protection plan is a basic one, which apparently does not cover any kind of damage or defects outside of "mechanical and electrical failures during normal use." This was not made clear when I purchased the plan, and I felt misled by the vague and limited coverage. The customer service team suggested that I reach out to Costco for a refund on the warranty, leaving me without any solution for my damaged TV.

    The protection plan, in essence, is useless for anything beyond the most basic issues, and even then, the process of trying to get help feels like a hassle. It’s frustrating to realize that what I thought was a safety net in case of problems is actually just a way to absolve Allstate from responsibility. Overall, I would not recommend Allstate’s TV protection plan to anyone looking for reliable, comprehensive coverage. The fine print exclusions and lack of meaningful support make it feel like you’re paying for nothing. Save your money or consider a more robust plan that actually addresses potential problems with your device.

I got a reply back the the images I sent was from “burn-in” and not covered under the warranty. I called today and spoke to a customer service person and asked them what they were going to do about the pixel problem because pixels are a covered repair in the warranty. She told me that her support team deemed the issue is burn-in. I tried to explain that the dots at the lower right in the image are stuck or damaged pixels. She still maintained it as burn-in.

After my phone was broken, I had to go to a Staples store where five different employees helped me initiate the very difficult and lengthy process of starting the claim. The claim was accepted, and I paid the deductible which was immediately taken out of my account.

    In the following 11 days I made five follow-up phone calls, which were also lengthy and repetitive, talking to very pleasant "front line" agents, supervisors, and senior supervisors. Each time I was assured that the replacement phone would be sent to me within 1-2 business days, and if I didn't hear from them I should follow up with a phone call. Today the senior supervisor assured me that I will be reimbursed the full amount of my original purchase and that I will receive a confirmation email stating such today. The cheque should show up at my mailbox within six days. We will see. I recommend shoppers stay away from this company.

    At first glance Allstate has good reviews and has good coverage. But when it comes down to actually having an issue, they are pretty rude and negligent. I would not recommend them at all. I had a stain on my couch which stains are covered under the protection plan we bought. We sent photos and everything. They said we will be getting a cleaning kit. 1. It never showed up. 2. An email they claimed to have sent, never was received. They cared not about either of these things. They obviously have a biased opinion on if the stain counts as a stain by a picture and what it "looks" like to them.

    For their better sake it will always "look" like a unacceptable type of stain and they will call normal discoloring. Which it is not. They do not actually try to help you when you call. They say sorry which they are not since they don't want to lose money. I had the 2 worst experiences with the reps on the phone and even worst times getting any help on the claims. We never received any cleaning kit and refused to even send us one since they didn't think the stain was a stain.

    The lady that helped me initially when I put a claim for the drain pump that went out on my washing machine was very good. She helped diagnose the problem. Then she set up an appointment right away with their repair company that they use, and she sent out the parts. Where it got bad was the company that they used. It was impossible to get ahold of them to confirm my appointment. There was no way to reach them. Their phone number that I was given was busy and I couldn't even leave a message. At the same time, Allstate customer service was very difficult to get ahold of. I was emailing them. They also could not reach their own company that they had hired.

    I had been without a washing machine for a week. I was a nervous wreck ‘cause it was a Friday and one of the parts that needed showed up late. Luckily, it showed up at 1 o'clock and the service tech was supposed to be there between 3:00 and 6:00. The saving grace was their tech was amazing. Allstate's companies have to be vetted and they have to be able to be reached, but other than that, I like their process. I've used them in the past, and I've had no issues.

    I had an air fryer that just went out while I was using it. I called Walmart and explained to them that the item was newly purchased. Walmart directed me to Allstate, so I called and lodged a complaint about the item going out on me so quickly. I had a protection plan on, and they said that based on the information that it wouldn't power on, it will be covered under the manufacturing warranty that I had. They said that they would make a claim submitted for me, so I started online and they completed it when I called them. Overall, my interaction with the rep was good. He gave me directions what to do or what I was supposed to expect in my email, so when I clicked on the link, I didn't have enough challenge. I put in what I got from Walmart, the name of the manufacturer and the model of the air fryer that I had, then I called Allstate back after I finished that part, and they helped me to complete the transaction.

    Everything went smoothly, but the claims process could be a little easier. I wish it could just be one way. Either I do everything online or when I call them, they put in the information on my behalf. I was also hoping for a replacement because I liked the air fryer that I got. It gave me good service, but it went out too quick. Allstate issued me a refund by a gift card on Walmart. Still, once the option is available, I'll definitely tell people to pay the couple of dollars extra to get coverage for their appliances because they're guaranteed to get a replacement or a refund once it's under the manufacturer's warranty. I saw the option to get the protection plan on Walmart. It was about $7. I didn't think much into it, and I didn't even think that I would ever use it, but I was glad I got it. It was really worth it because the unit went out within less than two months.

    Allstate RIP OFF! Buyer beware. Allstate gladly accepted my money to purchase their 2 year protection plan. When my electronic device failed after less than 5 months of use, they referred me to the manufacturer. Apparently the manufacturer claims to offer a 2 year warranty. Good luck collecting from some obscure manufacturing company on mainland China. Why did they accept my money for a protection plan if they do not intend to follow through and pay up? I feel cheated by Allstate.

    We have several warranties with Allstate, and I'll always use them because it's always been good. We recently made a claim for our Samsung cell phone and our experience was excellent. They repaired it very quickly.

    Allstate is excellent. I did a claim for a Roku stick and it went well.
