    Purchased a $169.99 portable AC unit plus the 4-yr Allstate EPP from Menard's in June 2022. Unit worked beautifully until Sept 4 (Labor Day 2023), when it up and died. Mfr would not deal with it because beyond its 1-yr warranty. I called Allstate and submitted the claim the same day. The next day, since no one around here repairs portable AC units, Allstate agreed to reimburse me the full $169.99. I got the check by the end of the week.

    Super fast. Super easy. Next time I make a big purchase at Walmart I would definitely buy a protection plan. Easy submit application. Got approved right away. Didn’t have to pay for shipping to and from. Kept me updated with status. Super happy. I was happy at time of the delivery on the very first try because I need the item for school work.

    It took 3 days and 3 different associates (one I dealt with twice) before I could get my claim completed correctly. I was put on hold numerous times. I was issued a card for the wrong amount which was 100.00 dollars less than it was supposed to be. Then I was issued a card for the wrong amount again which was way more than it was supposed to be. Finally it was straightened out and I received the correct amount. Never again will I take out this insurance from this company and will advise anyone that ask me not to.

    I am unimpressed with SquareTrade. They are slow to provide updates and slow to replace/repair my item. What was supposed to be 2-5 days is on day 15 and I have to chase them down for updates, only to hear “You should have heard from someone by now…”. I asked for them to expedite about a week ago, only for them to tell me via chat that the estimated completion time was two days ago… Thanks for nothing. I used my laptop for work, I lost more than the cost of a new, better system. Never again.

    Very difficult to gather all information the person wanted. And after getting that, they wanted another instead of telling me the first time. Would get back to me after ALL the information was given. NEVER heard back. Had to call again and again. Terrible experience. It took longer than fixing it. Seemed to me that the people were not supposed to be helpful, courteous etc. Serviceman was great though...

    I got Allstate for a Bluetooth car stereo. My previous Bluetooth car stereo broke. Instead of having to replace it at full price, I was able to make a claim on the previous Allstate plan I had. And they were able to reimburse me quite a bit. It also helped me to buy a new one. When I submitted a claim, I went online after looking up the details of my plan through Walmart. I just selected the product that I had labeled under my email and hit Start Claim, entered in a few details. They emailed me back a couple of days later and asked me to provide a picture of my serial number and proof that it was broken, if applicable. Once I sent those back, they approved my claim and sent me a paper check. For the stereo I just got, I got a three-year plan for five bucks. Considering how much it can cover, that’s very much worth it.

    I bought an earbud off eBay and I got the protection plan. It had been less than a year and the earbud went out. I went back into my account on eBay, found the information and how to do it, and I just followed the prompt. Instead of Allstate Protection sending me a replacement, they sent me a check on what it's worth, which was fine, because I paid maybe about $5 more than what the check was for. It was a very easy and simple process.

    Allstate's claims process was very difficult. It took me almost two months to finally get it resolved, but it did get resolved. I went to the store, I talked to the manager, and I talked to customer service. They gave me the Allstate coverage that I paid for. The reason it was so difficult is the item that I bought came with a one-year warranty. So, when I contacted Allstate to get some support, they said, "Okay. We'll, you know, technically, it's still under the manufacturer's warranty." Nobody could give me the manufacturer's phone number or contact information. So, I was kind of like left out to dry. The Walmart managers couldn't figure out who I was supposed to call. Allstate didn't know. So, I wasn't very happy at all. If Walmart is the one who's selling the products, they need to have better access to the right numbers to call when stuff doesn't work. I don't think Allstate did anything wrong there.

    I bought my baby an electric scooter. But a few days after Christmas, her scooter stopped working. Every time I would call Allstate and try to place a claim, they'd tell me to go to the store, and they'd tell me to contact the manufacturer. I finally got mad. A month ago I called and told them I wasn't gonna keep going through that because I paid for this protection and I've been getting the runaround. It took me forever to get them to respond. But they finally reimbursed me for the scooter. But it wasn't a good experience. But the last person I spoke with was great. She got everything handled within that phone call. The coverage itself was also great. It was just the hassle of getting it to work.

    We got the Allstate plan for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 and when there were some spots showing on dark backgrounds, I tried to submit a claim under Walmart. They said it was within a year and I got to contact the manufacturer. I contacted the manufacturer and tried to make a claim under them but they said it sounded like an accidental damage, which is not covered under their warranty. By the time Lenovo responded, the computer stopped working. So, I had two things come up and I had to go back to Walmart. They took it once they heard that Lenovo said it’s not under their warranty and they said they needed us to send this computer in. Then they repaired it and sent it back.

I explained what was going on, they went through the issue and got back to me in a timely manner like 24-48 hours and took care of it no problem. I had options too of either getting a check or having them issue a gift card to the retailer so I could purchase a new one which is what I did. I literally had that gift card within an hour and made my new purchase of another water dispenser and also added another Allstate policy to that one.

    I sent them a Chromebook that needed repaired or replaced. They sent me an email stating that it couldn't be repaired and they don't have a replacement, so they were to send a reimbursement via Walmart gift card within 2-3 days. It has been over a week since I received the email. I still have not received my reimbursement! I called customer service and was given run arounds and then finally told that I would receive the gift card in my e-mail by yesterday. Still nothing! I am highly unsatisfied with this company. Oh and you don't get reimbursed for the tax you pay on the item, so you essentially pay taxes twice when you replace it yourself. It seems to be a scam!

    Hello Christie,

    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 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 repair cost, the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the plan's coverage limits, and so on.

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

    I have always been extremely satisfied with any claim I've had to do. The representatives go above and beyond to help satisfy what the customer wants to get the issue resolved whether it be to have a Walmart gift card or check mailed to your home address. I have never had any issue filing a claim, if I have had to send an item in Allstate is very good at sending me a shipping label to be able to send the item in if needed. Which occasionally sometimes no fault of Allstate I may've misplaced the item example: broken Cellphone then it may take me a bit months to find the phone. Albeit it has only happened a couple times.

    Allstate reimbursed me the cost of the item as long as I have proof. Saved emails to show that I put in the claim before the warranty expired. I am very happy with the extended protection plans. I purchase them every time I purchase an item that gives me the option to purchase one. They are well worth the extra little bit of money to spend on an extended warranty.

    I first called your company on 7/5/23 regarding my power recliner, and was told I needed to call WayFair instead. When I called WayFair, I was told that I had to call your company back, as the manufacturer's warranty was only 30 days. To date, this has STILL not been resolved. I received numerous emails from what appeared to be different departments. At one time, I was sent an email with a picture of a technician that was supposed to come to my home. I left work at the appropriate time, and then received a FaceTime phone call instead from a very nice gentleman who had to see the recliner on FaceTime.

    A few days later, I received the parts he ordered for my chair. Another email said I could fix it or ask for a technician. Then another email stating you'd located a technician that should be contacting me in the next few days. Hopefully, I'll hear from someone today since it's been a few days. I work for a company that stresses extremely great customer service, so I would hope you can see why I am so frustrated. I certainly hope this can be resolved very soon. Thank you for your time.

    The claims process has been pretty good. But there was a time that I had an issue and they gave me a little bit of a problem. I hardly ever have to use the warranties because they usually expire on most of the stuff I get before I get to use them. I got upset with Allstate for a little while because they put me through the wringer on my radio warranty. They tried to get it to go and get it done instead of it being quick and easy on me. They had me take pictures and write on a piece of paper the date and time. It was upsetting because I've got a lot on my plate. Thank God they finally worked it out. They said they had to send me a check. But I would rather get the gift card because it’s quicker. I didn't have to wait two weeks.

    When I had a claim for my TV, I also had to wait for a check on it. It took forever. It finally got here after two weeks and I was finally able to go get a new TV. I tried to call in a claim for the stereo but they told me I had to send it by email, which didn't make sense because I already started a claim through email. But overall, it’s worth getting a warranty. I'm able to get my item fixed whenever it's something that's not my fault.

I called and got hung up on for about four times. I sent a message again through the email and got a response to call again. I called again, then they made me go through trying to turn the TV on four different times. The TV wouldn't turn on, so they said, "Well, unplug it." I did that with four different people. They can't troubleshoot a TV that won't come on.

    It was back and forth, then Allstate denied the claim. I called back again and asked to speak to a supervisor, but I got hung up on. I called back the next day. It took about a couple of weeks to get this done 'cause I was frustrated from calling. Finally, I got a supervisor on the phone who approved the claim, then they sent me a new TV.

Each time they said..."Sorry" and the check would be processed and mailed out. Each time it was not. Each time the supervisor said, "It would be taken care of this time." Each time it was not. The company is sitting on millions of dollars from customers who never get their checks from refunds or paid out claims. They know this...and they don't care, because they get to keep that money.

    One morning, the iPad wouldn't turn on. It was a two-week process to get somebody to explain what they wanted. They needed a serial number which I could get if I open the iPad. They kept passing me off between SquareTrade and Allstate. I finally got a hold of a young lady named Cheryl and she was wonderful. She cancelled everything that had been happening, restarted the claim and put it all the way through. Cheryl was marvelous but this was the worst experience I've ever had.

    The next day, I had what I had to have to send the iPad in. Two or three days ago, they received the iPad and they sent me a link so I could turn the Find My iPad thing off. They sent me a text saying they received my response, but I haven't heard anything since.

    I was very pleased with the way Allstate handled my claim. They had to look for my information to find it so it took them a little while. The warranty was for a Vtech camera and I had a baby camera from years ago, which was a Vtech as well. I put in a claim for it because the same piece broke. The two of them were there, so it was a little confusing. But they were very patient. The rep was exceptionally good. It was loud and noisy in my house with the kids and the dogs and the birds, and he was calm and did what he needed to do to help me get my product replaced. I had the check within two days. It came quickly. People should get the Allstate protection plan. It was the best choice that I made and I was able to get a new one and not have to pay as much because of it.

    Purchasing the Allstate protection plan was straightforward. The rep explained quickly what it will cover and that it will be easy to get solved if something happens to the device in case I want to get the insurance. The controller stopped working so I had to contact Allstate to activate it. The rep explained that I had to scan a code and it would take me to a website where I have to file the claim, put all the information and then go through that. But I felt more comfortable talking to a human that could explain better because I didn't think I was gonna use it until maybe longer than I expected. I only had the device for three months and it caught me surprised. But I had access to the website and from there, it was easy, helpful and fast.

    Allstate ended up giving me a credit. But we're still working through that because the amount was not what I paid. They asked me for the receipt, which I don't have. They said that I have to get a new one with the credit that they gave me and when I find the difference, I have to contact them again to finalize it. I felt comfortable when they said that. I haven't found out how easy it's gonna be for them to complete that promise but I'm in the middle of it and it looks promising.

    I got all of my papers when I purchased the printer and I went online and submitted the claim to Allstate. After about a couple of weeks, there was no response. So, I called them and they had to put it through a review again. I waited a while and then, I called them back. I finally got ahold of a guy that was responsive to me and I told him my problem. I had to get a review again and I thought I had already been reviewed. It seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. But Allstate responded and gave me the original price of that printer that would not print in a Walmart gift card. So that’s resolved. But I'm very dissatisfied with the way that Allstate handled it. Even though we pay them upfront in good faith, they're making the customer work extra hard to get a warranty out of them. But I'm very happy with the Epson EcoTank printer. It’s excellent so I bought another one from Walmart. And I bought the same warranty.

The next day I purchased a new TV stand for $899 and hired a company to recycle my defective tv and stand.

    After purchasing a TV stand, I get home and get some help setting it up. That evening I got an email stating that my TV is not on the way and they found another TV that was not on the list of 3 TVs on my original list. I've got confirmation on my choice. I've got confirmation it would be here in 7-10 days. 2 days later they tell me I have to take another TV. This is the definition of a bait and switch scam.

    They won't repair or replace my device. They want to give me a partial refund. I've been waiting weeks as they change their minds as to a solution. Now I'm being told a partial refund is all they want to do and there's nothing I can do about it.

    Pool pump failed after 6 months. Mfg would not respond. Insurance claim processed quickly and easily with one phone call and proof of purchase. Made me happy I purchased the warranty. In 10 years this only the 2nd time I've had to use my warranty but it was hassle free.

    Initially, the first call went very well. I was told to call back in 15 minutes for an update and that was very frustrating as I had to go through the tv mechanics & was told to keep my old tv until the new one was delivered. But later I received the email regarding payment and that part went smoothly.

    I submitted a claim on my vacuum. It was extremely easy. I got the gift card for the reimbursement very quickly. But it came through the email, and I had to have somebody print it for me because I don't have a printer. I thought I was gonna get in the mail. Also, vacuums are more expensive than what they gave me.

    We used our Pit Boss grill twice then the auger jammed. When it had first happened, I called the company that was in the book and they did troubleshooting. It didn't work. I found my receipt and called Allstate. They were going to have it sent in, but we didn't have a vehicle to take it somewhere to get it fixed so they gave us a refund.

    I was very disappointed because I kept repeating to the claims agent that the store warranty was only for 30 days and the manufacturer warranty was voided because the TV was a display model. He insisted that I needed to contact Walmart and the manufacturer, which I did and then contacted Allstate 3 times. I spent about 3 hours contacting all the parties and I am currently waiting for a response from Allstate.

    I had made a claim regarding my bad TV. Originally they told me they’re going to send me a list of TVs which I can pick from and I looked at him and he wasn’t what I wanted so I called back and ask for specific brand and then I received an email saying that they are going to send me a TV, which I never even ordered. What with that? Unfortunately, the process is very very slow and they’re not on top of it. Another words, they taking their sweet time to take care of the claim. They want you to give up and accept whatever they want to give you.

    Worst company I ever seen in my entire life. I paid for extra warranty with this company for my big screen TV - 2 years later I had a problem with the big screen tv so I called. I filed a claim for the TV to be fixed. They keep asking me for the receipts and paperwork over and over and over for 93 days. They closed my claim twice online. Every time I called they apologize and same thing happen again, and again, and again. Very dishonest people very unprofessional.

    Then finally was threatening the company to take company to the court. Finally nice person has some knowledge about the claim. He explain to me that I have a premium warranty with the Samsung manufacturing company so they took my money and they know I have a premium warranty. Bought it so my advice to everybody when you’re buy electronic online or in the stores make sure you are not buy extra warranty with this, companies, especially Allstate protection. I probably told my stories about to 700 people and I have a retail shop. I will make sure tell everybody I know not to buy warranty from this company. Today is July 2nd my claim was filed on March 15. I did not get my TV fixed yet. I’m still waiting.

    I put in a claim to Allstate for my son's TV that all of a sudden just went black. When I would turn it on, the screen would turn blue and then automatically go black again. The claims process was easy. Allstate sent me a gift card and then I bought the TV. It's just been over a month, and now, this one is doing the same thing. So now, I'm going to Onn TV itself.

    I got Allstate Protection Plans for my TV and laptop. It is always good to have a safer side if something goes wrong with your item. The protection plan helps you to at least be reimbursed that amount, so you should not be worried of issues. However, when I submitted a claim, it was not as smooth because when I was calling Walmart, they were saying, “Reach out to Allstate Protection Plan.” When I was reaching out to Allstate Protection Plan, they were saying, “You have to file the claim online. We are not going to help you here.” Online process is good, but I was not aware of that process. I was calling and trying to explain the issues. Even the Walmart people should be aware about the process. But when I filed it online, it was fixed in a timely manner. I'm satisfied.

    The pool pump was leaking from one of the seals and I couldn't get it to stop. I called the person I bought it from and they said it's over 30 days and they don’t have a warranty. I contacted Allstate and they said the pool pump should still be under a manufacturer's warranty. I called the manufacturer and they said they only do a 30-day warranty too. Once they told me no, I contacted Allstate again. I did the claim online and it was easy navigating the website. I gave the model number and took a screenshot of the online transaction and sent it to Allstate, and they refunded me $147.

    My experience with Allstate didn't go so well. The machine burnt out so I called in and made a claim. They told me I could either send it back in or I could take it to a shop and have it repaired. I took it to Best Buy. Best Buy told me that the machine wasn't good, for me to get my money back if I could. From day one, Allstate told me I was approved to get a refund. Then they told me I needed to send them the machine back. When I sent them the machine back, they told me they were gonna take it to the repair shop. They didn't repair my machine, and they told me they were going to refund my money. I went and bought another machine. I thought they were sending me money so I could cover my Best Buy bill. But they just sent me a whole new machine. Now I'm stuck with two machines and I still got my Best Buy bill that is not paid. I still haven't got any response back from anyone about this situation.

    I got different things with Allstate such as a lawn mower, a shredder, a spa, etc. and it's been excellent whenever I've had to file a claim. It's always been smooth, easy, and quick. I had to talk to a rep once because they couldn't find something but otherwise, I've done it online and it's a simple process. Last month was a coffee maker I had bought from Walmart. They sent me a check. They said a week to 10 days but I got it two days later.

    I'm highly satisfied. Generally, they'll recommend you don't take out extended warranties for different things that you buy at the store. A lot of them give this great big warranty then the fine print says, "We'll pay for the postage to send it back to you, but you've gotta pay to send it back to us," which makes it not worth it, especially what it cost to send anything these days. But it's never been that way with Allstate. It's worth it. It's always been no deductible and no returning. If they do, they pay return shipping. One was my phone. They sent the new phone out first then the thing to send my old phone back in.
