Allstate told me they were sending me a check to reimburse me for the headphones they could not repair. They said they sent a check to the wrong address. I asked them to void it and send another. They confirmed that they were doing it, and that I'd receive it in 6 business days. The check didn't come. I contacted them again and they said they were sending the check in 6 days. It didn't come. I contacted them a third time, same thing. I'm left with no recourse. Just outright lied to.
Hello Michael,
We apologize for any delays you have experienced with receiving your reimbursement check.
SquareTrade does our best to eliminate any roadblocks that might affect our customers. We send checks via USPS First- Class mail. It can take up to six business days for customers to receive their checks. Although the process is usually quick, we might experience some delays. We are sorry this has been your experience.

My claim was to repair or replace or cash payment of my iPhone. The repair option at Apple's Genius Bar was attempted as one of the options offered. However, it turned out to be non-feasible. The repair cost would have exceeded the purchase price and the warranty coverage. I submitted the Apple repair estimate along with an estimate for an Apple refurbished phone. Allstate then promptly mailed a check for the value of the warranty. I received the check in the mail within a week of Allstate's notice of payment. The claim process including communication and payment action exceeded my expectations.

This makes 5 (five) times we have contacted Allstate / Square Trade in the past month. I bought this particular drone as it has dual Hasselblad Cameras. I also saw it had a 2 year warranted insurance. I also bought it through a DJI (manufacturer) dealer. Weekly (5X), I have been promised a return label and off and on a shipping box. I got my own box, pack it to Allstate / Square Trade instructions, and for the past month it is still waiting to ship due to no label or even a return address. Problem is the telephoto lens won't operate.

My washer can't be fixed. I have a 5 year warranty. I have spent $40 at the laundromat already. I need a new washer??? Where is my compensation. The only good thing about all of this was Kevin the repairman was awesome. A Good guy! I was notified after the repairman left that I would be hearing something in a day or two about compensation. I have heard NOTHING. I think this is a big ripoff. Not heard anything. I need money to buy a new washer. Getting hold of someone to file a claim was also a big joke.

Very easy and quick process. Was satisfied with outcome of the claim and it was a hassle free process. Replacement phone works very well and would recommend getting a protection plan on any device or items purchased. And reimbursement for other device was a nice option to have to choose from instead of a replacement phone. Very satisfied.

The issue I have with this process is that I was not offered comparable replacements for my item. The replacements did not have the main feature of the item I was replacing. I called and was told there was no comparable replacement, so I could just get a refund instead. This ended up being fine, but it took me a bunch of emails back and forth and a phone call to get this. It feels the company is just trying to save money by offering cheaper replacements than the actual item being replaced, and making customers go through hoops to get a fair value.

I purchased a bike from a retailer and bought the warranty. My bike had issues after a month of buying it, so I filed a claim. I was told that I could pick my form of reimbursement and could get a check, digital debit card or retailer gift card. I picked the digital debit card because it's faster and more convenient. After my claim was approved, I was told that I could only receive a check. Classic bait and switch! I still haven't received my check, and I was told it was sent out over a month ago. I never wanted a check to begin with and I've asked repeatedly to change my form a reimbursement to the digital debit card that I originally wanted, however, they refuse to do it and tell me I can only receive a check. WHAT COMPANY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD KEEP SENDING OUT CHECKS BY MAIL THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RECEIVED?!!

I'm satisfied with Allstate. Everything was done over the phone. My television has a discoloration on the left side, and I had to take pictures and submit them. Based on the pictures, they made their decision not to cover it. They said it could have been damaged because of the moves that I made and I didn't realize it. Overall, the process wasn't bad, and I realized that it probably was damaged, so I agree.

I lost count at how many calls I made trying to get my phone fixed. A replacement was sent and couldn't get it to work either, they also sent me the wrong color phone. The techs I spoke to could not figure out what to do. At this point neither the old or new phone worked. I spent 4 days on the phone and I literally spend a total of 7 hours on chat, still not working because not too many attempts were made and was locked out. Had to wait 24 hrs. Went to Verizon and they fixed it in 10 minutes. We've been with Verizon for decades before it was Verizon. I hate the color you sent me. It is not what I bought. Not sure why I wasted time writing this since a computer will just store it. Maybe you should have sent a 15 for all the hours and days that were wasted. VERY, VERY UNHAPPY.

The iPad fell off the table and landed face down on the tile and cracked. The claims process was fairly easy. I just had to upload my receipts and describe what happened. Then they sent me a shipping label to print out. I just had to take the iPad to a FedEx location and it got sent off. I did everything online. The process was pretty easy since I had a receipt.

From the very beginning, it seemed like whenever the vehicle was cold, the ignition coils weren't working. And as it started getting colder, I had a hard time starting the vehicle.

The Samsung Television I purchase from Walmart in January 2023 had multiple issues to include power on/off problems, internet connectivity issues and other issues that would not connect to APPS that were installed by Samsung (HULU, Netflix, YouTube etc.). Samsung did a remote diagnostic test in November 2023 - while under Samsung Warranty. The remote troubleshooting experience was unsuccessful - and took more than a two hours on the phone with a technician who had extremely poor English skills. In February 2024, I contacted Samsung again. I went through the same exact process to troubleshoot the issue with a non-english speaking technician. This was a complete waste of time. Samsung told me that anything beyond November 2023 was simply a courtesy on their part.
I filed a claim with Square Trade (Allstate). The technician at Allstate wanted to go through the exact same process troubleshooting the issues. (3rd time.) After receiving poor service from Allstate, I contacted the CEO of Walmart and informed him that the Walmart Protection Plan they sold me was a complete a rip-off. Of course after telling the CEO at Walmart that I was going to sue them in Small Claims Court, a brand new Samsung Television showed up at my front door the next day - Imagine that! My advice: If you do spend money on a Square Trade protection plan through Allstate, and you do have some type of issue with the product you purchased and need to file a claim.... prepare to be put through hell.

SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and reimbursement is typically an option reserved for typical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers up to the amount spent on the item.

I Purchased, an adult electronic scooter from Walmart, along with a protection plan for two years that is provided through Allstate/SquareTrade. Scooter failed to operate within less than six months of having it. Went through the process of putting in the claim. Was told it was accepted but that I would need to contact the manufacturer first before putting in a claim through the insurance. They gave me the phone number for the manufacturer which was not a good working number, called them back. Told him it was not a good working number. Then I proceeded to put in my claim through the insurance. They told me I had the option of getting it repaired locally by someone or a replacement. I agreed on replacement. He then proceeded to tell me I would receive an email with a photo of an equitable scooter within 5 days and I could either accept offer or not.
At which time I then received a photo of the exact scooter I purchased at Walmart showing me that it was available for purchase online and if that was OK. I agreed. Then five days later called to find out the status on the order only to find out it is not been ordered yet at all, The person did not know why and said that out that was not their department but that it should be ordered the following day. I called back the following day to make sure it was ordered. Was then told that it was not going to be ordered because they were no longer able to find one available online. I told them that was it an absolute complete lie because they had provided me with a photo of the one available at Walmart and I verified it myself by going on walmart.com.
They insisted that it was not available and that the only thing that they were able to do at that time was to give me a refund for less than what I purchased for the scooter, via an electronic gift card, and in multiple payments, not even one lump sum. And for less than what I paid, and in multiple pymt firms and methods. Completely odd. To me it sounded like Allstate contracted an agreement of sorts to this 3rd world country to handle all these. And this is the manner that they’re doing them. I did you ask for a manager to escalate the issue and was only tossed around on some telemarketing floor buying out of the country 16-year-old girl it sounded like who couldn’t even verify the name of the corporation she supposedly worked for.
This third and final girl I spoke with, was supposed to have found find out who her manager was and have them contact me the following day. And then received a voicemail the following day by sounds like the same girl, stating the exact same thing over again, they could not find a replacement and the only option was to receive a refund for less than what I purchased for it via e-gift card, and mail. Absolutely criminal and Allstate should be ashamed to have their reputable name involved around any such scam, unless they are involved and aware, and which they probably are! It’s a scam, absolute criminal activity and they all should be criminally prosecuted .
Hello Heather,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction with your recent experience with us.
SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our priority, and a reimbursement is typically an option reserved for atypical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers 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 item, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the plan's coverage limits, and so on.
We reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.
Thank you,LS.

We had the repair scheduled in the window from 10a-1p. At about 9a I got a call that it would have to be in the 12n-3p window. I said I had an appointment and had to leave by 3, and the person said it would be ok. I went on the appointment and returned home at about 5:15p, and the repair person still had not shown up. Finally he came at about 5:20, but it took about 50 minutes for the repair because the tech didn't know how to get the defective part off. Finally, at about 6:10, he finished, and the refrigerator light was fixed. I wish SquareTrade was organized.

The process of filing a claim, getting approval, getting a repair lined up and then parts delivered to our house was excellent. Service level by tech was less than desirable. Tech showed up a day earlier than our scheduled appointment. Arrived at our home with no identification (shirt, logo on truck etc) that ID’d him as a repairman. He did repair washer quickly. Told me he was done and walked out with whatever parts were leftover.
I then ran a test load and realized that washer was filling basin with hot water when knob was clearly turned to cold. I called him back. He returned, made some adjustments and told me it was good. A few minutes later I noticed water puddling in the laundry room on the hardwood floors. Checked out the issue myself and realized that now both supply lines on the back of the washer were dripping. I called the tech back and he said “he thinks he finally fixed it”. So far, I’ve not had any additional issues, but I’m not holding my breath. I would 100% like to see better techs contracted with for any repairs that are scheduled in my home. Had I not noticed the issues right away there’s a good chance our floors would be ruined.

Hello Shaneika,
We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.
SquareTrade does our best to provide efficient and effective resolutions to all of our customers. When the repair facility receives a device, an audit of the issues takes place. During this audit, the tech tests for any irregularities. They also test the electrical components to see if they can isolate a failed part. If the tech cannot replicate the issue, finds no additional failures or is unable to access the item due to the item being locked the device will be shipped back without repair. We are sorry about the inconvenience caused by this.

TV began having audio problems after two years. Allstate replaced it with no red tape or difficulty. TV was delivered within two days. Every person I spoke with was very friendly, polite, and helpful.. Something you rarely encounter in today’s world.

I had some earbuds that stopped working, so I submitted a claim via a phone call a year ago. Allstate said I had to contact the manufacturer because it stopped working in such a short amount of time. I was miffed that I had to go through all this extra work, so I put the earbuds aside, waiting to hear back from the manufacturer, and they never responded back. Since I had a case number, I went back to Allstate and started to pick up the claim where it was left off at, and they helped me. I had a little difficulty in understanding the person, but they seemed very competent. Allstate replaced the earbuds but there was a bit of misinformation there. They indicated that they found them and that it would come within a couple of days, but it was a bit longer than that.

I've purchased Allstate protection plans for a lot of things. I have two projectors, two bed frames, a fabric closet, a PS4 controller, an Xbox, also something for a laptop and a couple of phones. I like having that security knowing that if I get the protection plan, if something is defective, then I can get it fixed. The insurance works for me. There were a couple of claims that I made. One of the projectors messed up. So I filed a claim on that and they satisfied that claim. I had a computer and they satisfied that too. The items had a defect to them and they had them fixed. It was very easy to file the claim. Just went online, filed the claim and found my receipt. I found the insurance on the item and then it took no time.
If I get insurance on something like that and they don't offer me Allstate, I'll buy the plan outside of getting it. Allstate is so dependable. I don't have that disposable income. So if something happens, I know that I can depend on that extended warranty working for me. And I'll still have my product. I had a couple of instances where I spoke to them over the phone and they were professional and personable, just all around great attitude. I also did a virtual chat and it went smoothly. I told the rep the problem and he told me what my options were. I chose an option and we got it done in less than 10 minutes too. It's been a great experience with Allstate.

Hello Gilviana,
We are very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your recent claim experience.
SquareTrade always does its best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and reimbursement is typically an option reserved for typical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers 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.

I had a set of gaming headphones for my son under warranty with Allstate. It quit working and they approved the claim. Before I knew it, I was getting an email saying that they had ordered it and they shipped it. The headphones that they were going to send me was $20 less than what the ones I paid for but I wasn't worried about that. However, when I got the shipping email, they had the wrong address down, which was my old address. So they shipped the warranty fulfillment to the wrong address after I changed it on my claim then chatted with two people and gave them the correct address. I called and their suggestion was to get ahold of Amazon. Seeing how I didn't order it, it didn't show up on my orders on Amazon. And the only thing I had was a tracking number, no order number. I couldn't even use the tracking number at Amazon to find out where it was in transit.
Finally, Amazon was able to track that but then their solution was to give me a refund, which was supposed to go to my Amazon gift card. But I have not yet got the refund because it wasn't an order that I made. So, even when it gets returned, it's not going to come through to me. Amazon says it could take 30 days and I'm upset because I've never had a problem like this before.
Other than that, reaching a rep at Allstate wasn't that hard. But I had an issue in getting them to understand the situation. The last person I hung up on sounded like an Asian woman and she kept going around and around about the fact that the package had to be signed for. But I kept telling her that the last guy I talked to said the solution was to talk to Amazon. All in all, I would let my friends know about this experience but I wouldn't leave out the fact that the other times I used Allstate, everything was smooth and easy. When I had a claim was for another set of headphones, they didn't want to try and refurbish them. They just sent me the money in a gift card to get them replaced.

It was 1,000 times easier than I thought it would be. So it was super quick. But it just gave me an option to take the payment.

The claims process was very smooth. I just had to answer questions truthfully. Then Allstate reviewed my answers and proceeded to let me know whether or not the claim could be processed and go through. Usually, what happens is they just send me the reimbursement money so I can then purchase the same product. This is probably not good on my part because I keep purchasing the same thing and then having issues. But besides that, I love the product.
This last time, they picked out three products for me to choose from, and I chose. But then they came back and said that they weren't able to get that. So they emailed me the money that I spent on the earbuds initially, and I was able to purchase different earbuds that way. Normally, getting the refund is a quick process.

In 2020 my sister purchased me a night owl security system from Sam's Club, along with a warranty plan from Square Trade for three years, after the manufacturer warranty expires.

After contacting their chat support I found out they cover the same 1st year that the manufacture warranty covers, but Allstate square trade does not allow claims if the manufacture warranty is still in effect and will cover the claim, so the first year of your Square trade warranty is completely pointless. So I purchased a 3 year warranty that truly only covers two years and not three years after the manufacture warranty expires. The purchase was for a $400 night owl security camera system with a $40 square trade warranty for 3 years after the manufacturer warranty expires, which is what it says on the warranty pamphlet, but Allstate square trade is not honoring that and is saying coverage started day of purchase, this is very misleading.

I called and let you know my TV was not turning on and waited 2 days to get an offer for a cheap TV. I had to call in to a supervisor 3 times to get a refund. Not the way to treat a customer. I was told to wait 3 times for another deal and every time was told to take the cheap TV and be happy. That was not going to work, I was running the TV 24 hours a day because if I turned it off it would not come back on. Finally after lots of pushback I was offered a refund. It was a fire hazard.

I had a coffee pot that stopped working and in the end they decided to send me a replacement. Which was great. The last email I got was stating that this is what they were doing and they would send a follow up email when shipped with tracking number.
Week or so went by with no contact, I reached out to them asking where it was or an update. They responded that it was delivered a week prior and gave me the FedEx tracking number. Searching that number it was delivered to Louisiana and I live in Utah. I then called and was transferred multiple times then told it was not their issue. I needed to contact FedEx.

A Keurig Coffee Maker I originally purchased from WalMart gave out but I had purchased the protection plan. I made the claim to Allstate and it was approved. They said they couldn't find an exact replacement so offered two non-Keurig options. I picked one. I then looked for a Keurig brand and WalMart still sold the EXACT same model. Yes, it was more expensive than Allstate's offering. I waited, and waited, and waited. Two weeks went by and the replacement Non-Keurig finally showed up. Allstate apparently didn't like my WalMart EXACT duplicate and refused to send it. Allstate also didn't do business for the very firm that sold the protection plan in the first place.

Updated on 01/31/2024: So Square Trade called me today, and told me my claim wasn't covered. Charlotte told me their warranty only covers electrical or mechanical failures on the headlights. They insure this item for these failures only, when the item doesn't even have mechanical or electrical components. The headlight is a hollow, empty plastic "jug". We supply the lightbulb. But they want to steal my, and how many countless others', money on this. They offer warranty of this type of headlights of countless makes and models on Ebay. How many others are going to join a class action lawsuit on this? The only mechanics involved in this matter, for a mechanical claim, is the construction mechanics. They failed, and let water in. Period. And for this reason, and this reason ONLY, is my claim denied. Yet it IS a mechanical failure. Construction Mechanics. Thank you, Daniel **.
Original Review: I bought a set of head lights for my truck off eBay. I bought the SquareTrade 2 year warranty through Allstate. One went bad, and water was collecting on the inside of the lens.

I filed a claim with All State to have it serviced, which I had 5 months left on insurance. When I shipped my printer, they told me it was repaired, but clearly it wasn't.

An Allstate policy is valuable on certain products. I buy it on everything, like my laptops, my electronics, and my household appliances. Their price is pretty reasonable. Sometimes, it can be a little difficult signing back in their website but that's because I don't use it all the time. Previously, I filed a claim on my air fryer because the door stopped working. Allstate also reimbursed me for the price of the air fryer and that was enough to purchase another one. I didn't even have to call anybody and I assumed that was a common error in those air fryers because they didn't ask me too many questions. They also resolved my claim within a couple of hours.

I used a Sam's Club card when I purchased my glasses so the biggest issue was getting everything so that I could file the claim with Allstate. Once I was able to talk to a human, it went fine. They got it done within three days.

The claim process is good. But when I submitted the claim, the manufacturer was not displayed and there was no section for the robotic vacuum cleaners. I chose regular vacuum cleaners, it wasn't there. I did electronic items, it gave the watches, not the robotic vacuum cleaner. So, I put it under a general claim. I called Allstate and they said it was okay to do that way, and they entered some comments in there.

My Fitbit watch stopped charging and I went to the original email, found the policy number and I logged in for the claim process. Allstate arranged a replacement and shipped me a new device. It came quickly. It's been a good experience with Allstate. Having the extended warranty is a great idea depending on the product. You need less of a warranty with products that are of more quality.

I filed a claim and the website was not working properly. I had to keep calling and talking to someone to get the issue resolved. But after everything, it worked out pretty good. I got what I needed. It could be a little bit cheaper, though. It's about $35 for a couple of years, which isn't too bad. But if it were to come down a couple of dollars, they'd have more people drawn to it. After spending $300 on an item and another $40 on the protection plan, that tends to scare people away.

Received quick response, and replacement option. I did have to email second time to get replacement info. Have not received shipped info as of yet (2 weeks after filling claim). Also, I paid $350 for my machine and the one I am getting for replacement is $200 (different brand). But it was the only choice I have. I thought I would get the same product.
