    We only had the TV for a month and there was no sound. I sent in a claim to Allstate and I had to call Vizio to let them know that. Why should I have to do it when that's Allstate's job? I pay them to do that. They wanted me to do everything, like call them, let them know what was going on, and then give a call back to them, taking down their name and phone number. When I connected with somebody else, they didn't put it down in the system that that box was already opened when we purchased the box. So they let it go. But they were really arguing with me. At the end of the day, they did what they had to do. But the problem was the attitude that we got.

    The claims process with Allstate is very well. Whatever item that was broken, I returned it and it got back, without paying an additional fee. I requested for something recently in regards to the Nintendo Switch but I didn't get any answer about it. But I have gotten one of my claims back to me. For the washing machine, I requested a refund for the missing piece. I requested to get a replacement but Allstate gave me a credit reward instead. I was hoping I would probably get the item back but I couldn't do that. The customer service is always good. One of my major issues is engaging in a conversation with somebody over the phone and not interpreting what I'm trying to tell them. But I never had that type of issue with them.

    We have Allstate for several computers and a telephone. We had a claim on one of the computers when one of the kids unfortunately had a coughing spell and spilled their drink. They gave us a credit to get it replaced but on the replacement that we received, one of the keyboards wasn't working any longer after only having it for a couple of months. The keys were getting stuck. We just filed that one and that's being replaced. I filed the claims online and the website was pretty decent. The only feedback I gave them on that was that they should make it a little more friendlier for the elderly population, because you do have to navigate through the page to find the button to start the claim. Other than that, I love to have the extended warranty on any of the products that I purchased because you never know what happens.

    My standard Blu-ray player was covered by an Allstate protection plan and I made a claim when it would not open up for me to insert discs to play. I found the receipt and on the receipt was the website. I put in the insurance number on it and the process was pretty simple. They sent me a virtual debit card and I was very satisfied. If I get another Blu-ray player, I'll get the insurance again on it so I don't have to worry about it messing up.

    I bought a plan for a PS5 controller through Walmart. When some of the buttons on the controller weren't working properly, we were able to send it in and they were able to fix it then send it back to us. I first started the claim online, then I had to call them and I gave them all of my information as well as what was wrong with the product. I did it twice and Allstate sent me a shipping label, then I was able to ship the controller out. Shipping it and getting it back took a week and a half, and that was pretty good. Since the service, my husband hasn't had any issues.

    The locking mechanism on my patio umbrella quit working. When it was extended out, it would periodically drop down. I got the umbrella through Amazon so I contacted them. I got an email saying Allstate would be in contact with me the next day but I never got that. It took Allstate a while to get back to me and I had to pursue it further. I went back through Amazon and told them that I had not been contacted. Right after that, I got a call from a representative for Allstate. I sent pictures of what was happening. They looked at the pictures and there was no problem when they saw what I was talking about. Everything was handled. Allstate has been fine. I have the same coverage on my Greenworks battery-operated lawn mower. It pays to have a backup as things aren't made like they used to be.

    I don't have a good experience with Allstate. They're ripping people off. I bought a power wash machine for almost $400. When I bought the protection plan for it, I thought when I'd have a problem, they'd give me another unit or let me buy another one. I took the product to Walmart but they told me it was not them and to go with the third party. I asked, "Who's the third party? I bought it here." They said, "Go talk to Allstate, and they will either give you the money for it or send you another product."

    I called that number, talked to them for over 40 minutes and in the end they said they were gonna send me an email, take the product somewhere authorized to get it diagnosed, pay $100 for the diagnose fee and let them know what the product needed. This is not a warranty. When you buy the plan, the salesman at the store, gives you a really good picture. But now that I have a problem, no one is there to help me out the way that they explained it. I do a lot of things here and there and don't know where I should take this product. They should make an appointment for me, have someone come pick up this item and do whatever needs to be done.

I had some difficulties with the technician who was sent out, but that was not All-state’s fault. Ultimately I’m very happy with the resolution. It was handled well and expeditiously.

    Hello Jan,

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

    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 customers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

    We reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.

    The experience of when I called was good but I don’t like what happened with what the insurance is doing now, I’ve had to use the insurance a couple of times and both times I filed a claim online and was able to take it back to Walmart and exchange it for something else, now Allstate is giving me 3 choices. None of which I wanted but was closer to what I had, I understand that Allstate can’t give the full value of what it was but they can give a store credit so I (customer) can get something that they want, even if they have to pay more, I don’t know if I’ll purchase the protection plan again and it takes too long.

    My iPhone 11Pro wouldn’t power on after dropping it in the shower. I went to the Apple Store to get it checked out. They looked at the phone and said “it can’t be replaced because of water damaged by looking at the front camera." I forgot to get paperwork for this at the time. I contacted Allstate to file a claim. They immediately asked for this paperwork and suggested a local shop closest to my zip code. After getting official diagnosis paperwork for the water damage a replacement iPhone was shipped in two days and gave them a the damaged one. The only complaint I have during this process is the step by step procedures to get it done. It took about three days or a few phone calls to get things clarified. Once things are such as account numbers and initial coverage dates things went smooth but did require some patience.

    My claim took longer than expected. I did the initial claim online, and received a claim number. The website said to take the phone to a specific local repair center. I took it there with my claim number, but the rotator center said they couldn't see my claim in their database. I used the Allstate "chat" feature and was on it for an hour before I was told that they couldn't accept the attached docs in the chat. So, I uploaded the correct documents online to verify my phone purchase, but the first representative said they didn't have the price I paid, or the date of purchase.

    But the documents did have everything needed:
    1: Date of purchase
    2: Retailer
    3: Product model number

    4: Price paid for phone

    I called Allstate and was disconnected from agent when he put me on hold. I then called again and finally got some help. The agent said my docs looked good but that I would have to wait another 24 hours for the final approval. After 2 days, my claim was finally authorized for repair. The repair center "CPR Repair" In King of Prussia was awesome, however. They got my phone fixed in about 90 minutes and it looks great and operates perfectly. I wish Allstate had a faster resolution time and more helpful representatives than the first one I spoke with.

Explained it to the CSA multiple times. Was told to take a video of the problem. And we could troubleshoot the issue. I ask WHY am I doing the work, when I purchased this plan from Allstate/Square Trade for a authorized repairmen to come and determine what the issue is. Again, need to take the video for them to identify the issue. The CSA is not state side, nor was the chat agent I tried to talk to. Which could have contributed to the issue of communication.

ALL of them had different information - not one person - had same info including supervisors. Everything is to be done on your own including the diagnosing!

    Purchased a warranty on our LG tv when we purchased it from Sam's Club less than 2 years ago. The picture won't come on. I called SquareTrade to start the claim. I submitted my pictures and videos. They sent the parts to my house two days later. They sent me a link to schedule a repair appointment and it did nothing. I called SquareTrade back and they manually made the repair appointment for Friday from 1pm-5pm. I received an email about my appointment confirmation.

    When I clicked on it the appointment confirmation it showed 8am-12pm which was not the appointment timeframe that I requested. I have tried for 2 days to get in touch with the technician. SquareTrade gave me the technician's phone number and literally every number I push at the prompts just lets me leave a message. They have a phone number on their message that says you can text it. I have tried texting and leaving messages...no one returns phone calls. I have yet to speak to an actual person at the technician's office or the technician.

    I received an email from SquareTrade yesterday and when I clicked on the link it said "Important: Please contact the technician to re-confirm the appointment The technician may also contact you in case of any updates". Again...same phone number that no one answers and no one returns voicemails. So I called SquareTrade again and asked them to confirm my appointment. SquareTrade said they would email me.

    "Please find your tech details below and schedule your appointment accordingly.

    Are you kidding me...same phone number that no one answers and returns voicemails and this is the only "confirmation" that I can get from SquareTrade. I have been calling since 6:30am on Thursday and it is now 12:41pm on Friday and the only people that I have talked to are at SquareTrade...no technician. It is extremely frustrating considering I took the morning off of work. I called SquareTrade and told them the tech was a no show for my 4 hour window this morning and they said "give the technician until the end of the day and if they haven't came then call us back". Ok cool so now this has turned into an entire day off of work with the possibility that a technician will show up. I have a broken tv, two packages of parts to fix it and no technician. What a waste of my time and the $650 I spent between the tv and this warranty.

    If I could give them negative stars I would. I Have a claim. I’ve been discriminated against. I am disabled and have a hard time speaking at times. My husband is deployed and has been worrying about us nonstop since Saturday the 4th. Our refrigerator went out still in 5-year warranty. They want me to place a call to have someone out to fix it. Mind you they were supposed to try and call me first to schedule. They had 48 hours and nothing!! We’ve lost hundreds in food. Cannot afford to replace so we had to resort to the base pantry!! And I’ve never been so humiliated in my life.

    Again I cannot really speak and I was going to do my best when they called about the appt but I’m better with email and text. I asked the gentleman for help. I got none other than I need to do it myself. And if I had family to help!! Hello I said my husband was deployed. We have 4 kids! And cannot go without. They need to have accommodations for this.

    I spent $75 on a cellphone bluetooth that within 3 months, broke. I bought a warranty. Filed the claim and they said we will follow up in a few days. 1st ridiculous email offered me 3 MOTORCYCLE HELMETS with built in bluetooths. I emailed back saying this would be ILLEGAL for me to drive my car with this motorcycle helmet with the built in bluetooth because I would not be able to hear traffic, it would block my vision, etc, etc... And I also sent them 3 comparable bluetooths from Amazon (their source) starting at $50 (same as their options) $74 (same as my cost) and $94 best quality. I also opted for my money back, seeing it is a warranty.

    I hadn’t heard back and I received this email asking for the How’d We Do option I am replying to. It also said, if we missed the mark, to call. I called yesterday and spoke with someone, explained everything, then he spoke to a Manager then said that they would get back to me in a few days. Well today, they got back to me, sent me another email with their means to handling the situation. This time it was gaming headphones, all wired, so please tell me how am I supposed to plug into my – whatever I am listening to—while I am driving my car, going to the bank, taking the kids to school… The point, how do I answer calls and listen to news while plugged into??

    The mechanical process of filing the claim with Allstate for the headphones was easy but getting indemnified was difficult. I submitted the information and they acknowledged it. They offered three alternative products that were nothing like what my original headphone was like. One thing wasn't even bluetooth and it required one to plug it into a computer. The other was a giant gaming headset. They were not at all like kind or quality and they were all on Amazon.

    I went to Amazon and found something that was similar and also in a similar price range to what they had offered to me. It was another LG product. But they said, “Sorry. We can't consider that. You have to choose among these three or we'll give you a cash reimbursement.” I opted to get a check but my preference would have been that they replaced the headphone and what they offered me was pure laziness. The other negative thing is that you can't call someone and when you interact via chat, even though you authenticated, they ask you the same thing over and over again that clearly is already part of your claim. It's very frustrating and hard to deal with.

    SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our 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 plan's coverage limits, and so on.

    I got a Walmart protection plan covered by Allstate and when I got bad breaks on my new electric bike, they told me to go to Pexmor. But Pexmor said they were not going to cover it and they told me to call Allstate. I explained to Allstate that the Pexmor bicycle coverage is over in one year and that they don't cover the bicycles that we buy directly from Walmart. They got to be bought directly from Pexmor. Since Pexmor sold the bikes to Walmart, then Walmart is responsible.

    But Allstate did nothing and I'm about to call them again. I got to keep telling them that I bought a protection plan for $52 something and I can't get my brakes fixed. I was expecting them to at least take pictures of the brakes and cover it. But it's been a difficult process. After this one, I'm going to resell the bike, get another one, and get another extra bicycle under another different protection plan. I know that Allstate does a good job and this is not their fault. But they should take responsibility of the protection plans instead of having the dispute with Pexmor.

    I called the Allstate claim team to follow up on the deductible that I was told for a recent claim. When I filed the claim, it was shown that the deductible would be $89, though when I submitted receipts for the claim I was then told that it would be $199. My policy does call for a $199 deductible, which is why I was initially confused about the $89 deductible listed, though it says deductibles may vary from claim to claim so I didn’t think much of it. Each of the 2 representatives and 1 supervisor were confused about what I was explaining and though I don’t think there was an explicit answer given, I was able to get the difference issued since no one seemed to be able to say why I was told different amounts in the first place. The claims process was very smooth up until this discrepancy, so I’m hoping that if I do have to file future claims, I’m able to navigate them more smoothly than I was this one.

    Purchased a ride on truck for grandchildren for Christmas in November 2023, gave as a Christmas present. Kids do not live close, so since December, they have only ridden about 4-5 times. Started having issues with the truck not running. We had purchased the 3 year protection plan. I started working with Allstate/Squaretrade about 2 weeks ago, and we still do not have a resolution. First, it is nearly impossible to get someone on chat, then when I finally called, I was given an option to find a local repair person. I explained that I live in a very rural area, and this would probably not be a good solution, but was told that was where I needed to start. So, I did, and as I thought, the closest repair shop is 4 hours away.

    Allstate wanted me to pay someone to drive 4 hours one way to fix a ride on car. I then started the process to contact someone for another route for our claim, but this time after waiting on chat for 15 minutes, finally called, and was told I needed to call back in an hour for a supervisor to help me. This entire process has been a mess, and I have yet to have a resolution.

    Original Review: May 1, 2024

    My refrigerator quit working and I have a warranty with the company. Contacted them and they referred me to the manufacturer for repair but told me I could file a claim for lost food. Filed the claim and they approved the maximum of $300 in the form of an e gift card. When I received the gift card it was for Home Depot. Home Depot doesn't sell food so I contacted them and they said they would issue a check for the food, it was their mistake. Three weeks go by and nothing so I contacted them again and they say they are not reissuing the reimbursement. It is completely ridiculous that they would issue reimbursement for food in the form of a Home Depot gift card.

    So we went through the process of claim for our 50" Philips TV, was told they would send us a list of options. When we got the email, there was ONE option. An ON bottom of the barrel tv, that I researched, that was not close to the same and was well over 100 dollars cheaper. What is with the games, why not replace it with the same Make and model, I mean that's what we paid the warranty for right? To get the same item if God forbid it fails? In all, I do not recommend getting this insurance or any tv with this insurance, unless you want to be screwed if your TV fails. STAY AWAY.

    Allstate is the worst company for insurance for any products. You pay for insurance cover and then when the time come for replacement or reimbursement they give you the run around. I had a 15x15 outdoor water slide and they wanted me to take it to a nearest shop and get it repair. This slide weigh at least 60lbs, and then customer service stated I can have someone to come out to repair the slide and they will refund me within 2 business days. I informed representative what’s the minimum amount because for someone to come out it will cost at least 150.00 just to look at the slide. I’m getting an attorney because I had a contract that I paid when making my purchase. I had water slide for three years and I have 5 year protection plan.

    After I stated I need their address to corporate for my attorney to send a letter. The representative came back and said they made an agreement to requirement be for the total amount of slide and she email an affidavit letter to sign. Why do I have to sign affidavit letter for a contract I already have from Allstate when I purchase my waterslide. No thank you. This company is a scam artist.

    So far it's been very unpleasant to deal with square trade. Before sending a technician to the house they want you to actually put in some work on the appliance so they can know what parts to order. After failing to guess what the problem they sent a technician to check what was wrong, parts were ordered only to receive the wrong ones. When you call they want to go over everything only to tell you they apologize for the inconvenience and they will try to resolve the issue. I’ve lost two days of work because of this.

    I bought a 50-inch Samsung television for my mom at Sam’s Club and submitting the claim went well. I didn’t know who to call because I had all of the information written down on my receipt for Samsung. So I called them. Then, I called Sam’s Club and they told me to call Allstate. Once I did, I didn't expect them to tell me to send an email. So it was a new process, but I could understand it. I didn't wanna do that extra stuff but it was more helpful because when we do the email and then send the actual photo, the repair people know what they need to do when they come out. So the process was very smooth.

    The representative was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful, and explained everything. When I was talking to them, I was also talking to my mom at the same time. So it was a little confusing for me. But the representative was very helpful. They sent the email immediately. I sent the wrong thing initially. I only sent photos and a day later, they responded and told me to send a video. It was very efficient and their response was very quick. It was just a matter of a couple of days. And before you know it, within two or three days, my mom had a brand-new TV. So, it was wonderful. That warranty is still good until 2026. Four years for $50 in this day and age was a great deal. I don't have to keep buying TV. I was thankful for that process because I don't know how it works now with repairs.

    The team worked efficiently and was very helpful and stood by that warranty. I felt very lucky because it was just thrilling to know. The TV fits on the same mount. It wasn't heavier even though it was slightly thicker in the back. So it was easy for me to mount. I got thin TVs because I'd like to be able to do it by myself. I don't wanna have to hire someone to put it up. There are some new mounts that are making it easier. So you pop it on. I've been able to do those over the years. But so far, everything has been great with my mom's TV. And I appreciate the warranty coverage. My sons were surprised because Allstate was sitting with me when I was making the phone call. They think in terms of cars or homeowners so that surprised them. I've shared it and I told my mom, she was happy about it too. Allstate has got a great name.

    I used to have car insurance for years and I'm glad that they've expanded to this because it was helpful. I'm hoping that they make money where some of the TVs last for four years and some TVs sometimes don't. The TV was weird. Half of it was getting darker. My sons noticed it but my mom didn't notice it the first week. So it was perfect timing by the time the actual TV arrived to replace it because the right side was almost completely black. So, I'm very happy. A lot of people are like me and never get a warranty. I'll never get it for small items, like a $50 item but for an item like a TV that I use every day, I'll get it. I would encourage my family to do the same thing. So I'll mention it to my family and my siblings.

    We always do extended warranties on our appliances, and we got one from Allstate for a freezer. The freezer broke. It just quit cooling. The claim wasn't hard to file, but the things that we had to do in order to get them to do it was weird. But other than that, it wasn't that bad. Everybody was friendly but they're not very knowledgeable. The freezer was broken and wasn't cooling at all and they wouldn't file or give me a claim number until I unplugged it for 12 hours and then plugged it back in, which made no sense, where I could have had somebody service it a little bit faster. It was a weird step that they made me go through. Broken is broken. Unplugging it and plugging it back in wasn't gonna fix it.

    I had to call my own service company, pay for it, and then wait to get reimbursed, which I thought was awkward, but it was fast. It wasn't too bad but some people might not have the money to lay out and wait to get reimbursed. It was almost $900 to fix it. I've had extended warranties before in the past and I've never laid out money upfront. Usually, the warranty company pays for you.lem. [He means yes.]

    I have a few things under Allstate, and I just had to file a claim for my Oculus that wasn't charging. I took it someplace and they fixed it for free. I didn't have to use the claim as it was. I canceled it. As far as submitting the claim, everything was online. It was a little confusing because one of my claims is an Oculus. When I bought it, it's listed as Oculus, but they sent it to me and it said I can get my bike fixed and it's not a bike. Also, when I bought my Oculus, I forgot to add my warranty on it. So, I went back and bought the warranty hours later and added it on and I was charged $50 because the Oculus was so much. It was up to 399. And then, when they sent me my warranty it was only for 24.99. It was a different amount. They weren't gonna cover the whole Oculus.

    So, I spent a couple of hours online with Allstate and they still didn't fix it. Verbally, they said they fixed it. They were like, "Ok, okay. Yeah, we'll change that." I said, "Well, can you send updates and send it to me?" "Sure." I never got that. I was on the phone with the rep for over an hour and sent him everything. They kept telling me my warranty was wrong. I have three warranties. I have three Oculus and they kept saying, "No it's right. It's right here." I sent them receipts for all three Oculuses and all three warranties and they were still telling me that I was wrong. Overall, Allstate is efficient, and the process online is easy but they got difficult customer service.

    I purchased quite a few protection plans through Allstate and I had to use one warranty on a SaluSpa hot tub. I was satisfied with the service that they gave but after the claim was done, I had another vacuum that I needed to file a claim on and even though the claim for the hot tub was complete, it was still saying that I couldn't file a claim because they're still in process. And that's been going on for a while. Other than that, the claim was quick and painless. Allstate paid back the amount that was supposed to be there. It was a good service and I was glad that I bought the warranty. The price is fair and usually, it's a good deal.

    I've tried to go to Allstate’s website though and they don’t have the warranty very accessible to where you can purchase it separately. I tried to purchase it for a couple of other things and I never could locate anything. The only way I could find it was if eBay, Walmart and other retailers offered it. Also, the payment card process was a pain because they give you an app for the payment card but the way that it was processed, it would never correctly go to the app. So I had to constantly go back and go through the email to get what the balance was on the card that they sent in for it. That's something Allstate needs to look into. I had to call and go through customer service the first time and get that sent again. Finally, I had an email where I had to go through extra steps because their app wasn't working correctly.

They also asked if I got a new cord, and I said, "Yes, all of that," and right away, they offered me a voucher. They asked me what would I like, if I would like it deposited into my account or a Walmart voucher, a prepaid Mastercard or a Visa card. I chose the Walmart voucher because I went and got a new one.

    I had two tablets I put a protection plan with Allstate. Recently, I had my son's tablet sent out for repair. They sent it to the wrong address in Texas and I'm in California. I gave them my address multiple times, and they confirmed it. However, it ended up going to the other spot and they were telling me they didn't how that happened. They were asking me if I was able to go pick it up. When I asked for a refund, they said they had to look into it to see if I qualified for it since the tablet was already issued out even though it was sent to the wrong location. I asked them if I could get the refund electronically but they told me they had to mail a check. They said they sent me an email, but they never did. I called after two weeks and that was when I finally received it. But it was exhausting trying to get my point across. It took them over a month to get me the money back for the tablet.

    One of my kids' tablets when it got sent to repair, they sent me another tablet, a similar one since the other one had damage to it. On the second day that I got it, my son was trying to hold the screen and it turned black. It wasn't new. It was another one they already had as a replacement. I barely got the money back for the other tablet that was sent to the wrong address and I have no working tablet at the moment. When you're calling them, sometimes it seems they're on the right page. Sometimes it feels like they're trying to rush through the conversation to finish the call.

    It's so easy to purchase an Allstate protection plan through Walmart, whether it's in the store or online. I just click it. They will have it. It shows right there and it tells me everything. I've used the protection plan, and it's been easy, except for the part where I have to find the item number. It's a long number, and I don't know it, so I have to go back and either write it down or copy and paste it if the system lets me. Allstate has always fixed my issues.

    I like to buy the protection plan because it gives me security for the future. If something happened, it's gonna get taken care of, whether they can fix it or not. I've been purchasing from Walmart for years, and I've never had a problem with the protection plan. If they can't fix something, if anything, I know that they'll give me back the money for the original price I paid. I bought a Switch a long time ago and something was wrong with it. They couldn't fix it, and they gave me my money back. I used it towards the new version that came out. I just had to put in a little instead of a full price, and I was super happy about that.

My pillows faded even without being in sun. I submitted 6 claims one for each pillow. My first two were easily approved and I was sent a check for them. The last 4 were questioned by their audit dept and I was asked to submit photos and a description. Did all of that. I was then asked to call them, nobody would respond via email with any explanation.

    I called and spent a long time answering more of the same questions. Was told I would get an answer via email. My answer was that it was declined. No explanation! I replied to the email asking why? They told me to again call them. I spent $19.20 on each his the 6 pillows and an additional $2.99 for each pillow for the warranty. Give me a break!

    I purchased a plan for a PlayStation 4, that has began to have problems and proceeded to get worse. It has no physical damage, no drops, spills or anything, and obviously I can not open it up myself because that would void the warranty so I had to send it in. When I did they said there was an issue so they couldn’t fix it but will not be replacing or repairing and are only sending back the defective unit. There is nothing about such an issue not being covered especially if I can not see inside the PlayStation myself to verify that this was the case. So save yourself the trouble and do NOT waste your money on these plans. They will find any and every excuse to deny claims so they don’t have to pay for something whether it stops working 2 days after or a 2 years into the 3 year plan.

    Picked up my MacBook Pro (2015 model). One day and it started just randomly turning off and not charging so I sent it in for repair since it’s covered in the warranty (I assumed faulty battery). Super easy, print the label, box it, bring it to FedEx. Done. Got it back about a week later: I turned it on and it had 90% battery, so I figured it must’ve been fixed. However, I got to update it and see that the battery is still not charging, per what shows when I click on the battery itself and it states that it recognizes the AC adapter, but it’s not charging. I unplug the MagSafe cord and the whole thing shuts down, even though it’s at 90% battery.

    So I call the customer service line to inform them the problem has not been fixed. She tells me there are photos that prove there’s been water damage. That’s news to me since I’ve had it since December and it’s a refurbished Mac, so I knew there might be issue, but since it’s been in my possession, it hasn’t been anywhere near water (and it’s covered! So I have no reason to lie about it, even if I had gotten it wet). I tell her this, despite her assuming I created the water damage and indicate I’m still having the same issues. She apologizes and says they “fixed” the problem for what it was sent in for, but it’ll need to be sent in again because the original claim did not have water damage listed. Not sure how I’m supposed to know there’s water damage to a laptop I bought in December and was not a result of my action?

    I’m already irritated because this is the same day I received it back, so she tells me she’ll put in a new claim and I can send it back to be fixed. I shipped it off this Monday so this’ll be the 2nd time in 2 weeks I won’t have the laptop and I’m not even confident that it’s going to be resolved since the first time it was “resolved” I continued to have the same issue. I shouldn’t have to keep sending something back to be “repaired” when it should’ve been repaired the first time.

    Hello Casee,

    SquareTrade does our best to provide a smooth claim experience and eliminate any issues that can cause a delay since we strive to provide an expeditious and hassle-free service, especially when our online portal is utilized. However, there are necessary actions customers must take to help us move their claims forward, such as submitting a proof of purchase. We require receipts to verify essential details that affect the protection plan, such as the item's price, date of purchase, and serial numbers (if applicable).

    We reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.

    Thank you,

    I have been trying to log into my account for three days. When I put in my email and password it takes me to a page that tells me an email has been sent to my address with a confirmation code. I never get the email. I attempted this for three days, no emails in my inbox, spam or junk. I couldn’t find a phone number but I found a link to email them. I sent an email and 24 hours later I got a email back with a phone number. I called them and told the person the issue. They said they would have to transfer me to technical support. 15, FIFTEEN transfers later I got some who said they could help and would also start my claim.

    They started my claim and then put me on hold for them to talk to their tech support. After about 30 seconds he came back and told me it was a maintenance issue and it would be working in about 24 hours. A MAINTENANCE ISSUE, FOR THREE DAYS… They also told me to do a password reset by using the forgot my password. I tried that, NO EMAIL LINK SENT. And before you say my email is wrong, while I was on the phone with Nicolas I got 2 mails about the call! These people DO NOT WANT YOU TO FILE A CLAIM! They will do everything in their power to make impossible!

    Terrible warranty service. I have had at least 5 phone calls and at least 2 hours of waiting and talk time. I have spoken to people at Allstate and with Walmart. No help from any of them. The first two blamed the other company as the reason for the decline. I sent the item in for repair as instructed. 10 days later I received the exact same package back with no repairs being made. No explanation. Absolutely nothing. The first call was to Allstate (Square Trade). Then after a long conversation claimed I needed Walmart to approve the repairs. 2nd call was to Walmart. They said after a long conversation the decision was aT Square Trade.

    On my next call to Square Trade they basically said they couldn’t do anything about it. I requested a call back from a supervisor. No call was forthcoming. I called ST again. They eventually said l needed to send them proof of purchase. They said I would receive a email with a link to send a photo of the receipt. No email has been sent. I am thinking about what to do next. Would one more call get it done? Should I make the call or should I have my attorney make. At this point I believe I should just ask for my purchase of three 12.9 iPad Pro be refunded. I have had all I can take of both of them. I have responded to at least three customer surveys without hearing anything back. Great customer service!!!

    I purchased a chair on Amazon and decided to purchase insurance. The chair broke and found it best to just get a refund through the insurance. It was difficult to get the pictures uploaded to them as every time I did it, it said I still needed to do it. Then once that was done, I had to continue with the claim, but it would not work on the website. I called and was given the furniture claim phone #. Once I called, it went fairly easy to finish the claim and get a refund credit on Amazon. Other than the issues going through the steps, it was worth it and would purchase again.

    Allstate handled the claim well but, after they put me in touch with Sony Concierge services who would finish the claim they are replacing my LED TV with and LCD and the TV I had was also Energy Star 5 and the replacement is only Energy Star 3, this is very disappointing as I didn't get an extended warranty to get a lower quality TV and use more power than the one being replaced. When I brought these points up to the Sony Concierge they stated that's the only replacement they are offering unless I wanted to pay the difference for a model that matched my current TV's specifics. I will also be bringing this up to Costco's Customer Service once the replacement has been delivered and I can take photos.

    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.

    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.
