    I filed a claim for the TV and it was pretty easy. Someone then reached out to me and the service was simple and fast. Allstate said that they were gonna send another TV but they ended up just refunding me the money so I could get a new one.

    I used Allstate once for a microwave and once for a dehumidifier. Both stopped working and when I filed a claim, I did it all online so it was simple and wasn't too difficult at all. It worked well for me. I had to call the customer service team because there was something that went wrong with my claim for my dehumidifier. They said that I had to call them so I did, and they were very helpful and resolved it with that call. So, I had no complaints. Both claims were positive experiences. Allstate is a little bit of security for your product. It’s peace of mind in case your products break.

    I bought an air rifle and it wouldn't hold air. Allstate sent me a check, but it wasn't enough. They didn't pay me the full amount I'm supposed to get back with them. When I called in and told them, the rep put me off at that point. I wish they would have taken care of it at that time. But the extended warranty is very valuable and I would buy one from Allstate again.

    I recently had to put a claim in because I spilled some black coffee on my computer. I took it in to get looked at and get an opinion. Allstate said I'd need a whole new board and to get the board would have cost $1,300. At first, they said that was what I needed to do. So I was thinking they could pay me and I'll get a different computer at that price because my computer value was 1,499. I went after them again. It was interesting that Allstate gave me different answers such that they were gonna have to try to get the parts or have to take my computer back to where I had it looked at and have them order the parts. Then when I just didn't think that was a good idea and I called back, someone had decided that they would give me a refund. I didn't have to push too hard but it was just weird that I got two different answers. But I was glad with the second answer they gave me.

    I was glad to find out that I had this policy that covers spills. It was the first time I've ever spilled anything on a computer. It saved me $1,400 and I was able to get a new computer. Allstate did a refund without giving me too much hassle and my check came quickly. Initially too, they told me that I would have to ship my computer to them. And then I called them back and said I didn't like that idea. I asked if I could take it to some place in my area and they said I could do that and make sure it's a reputable place. So they were open to suggestions for doing something different.

    When I bought the new computer, they didn't give this plan with it because I bought another one at Costco. But I purchased a policy with Allstate that covers spills and damages. A lot of them don't cover spills. And you just never know when that could happen. If something like that happens on a keyboard, you might as well call it quits. The price is reasonable. I paid this time 99 for two extra years of coverage.

    The insurance was only $5; however, it's basically useless. Just how long are we expected to wait for a replacement. It's better to buy a controller at Best Buy. When it breaks, which they always do, you simply return it to the store for a replacement. I truly doubt that we will ever get the replacement. Can you imagine, the language says that once we find a replacement, it will take 2 - 3 business days to send it out to you. Just how long will they look for the replacement?

    My only issue with the warranty was that I couldn't get the air conditioner fixed which was what I really wanted and that they issued me for refund on a card that has so many restrictions on it and you have to use it or lose it and I just don't agree with those types of terms. I mean that was my money and I don't feel like it's right to have stipulations and restrictions and time limits placed on when and where and how I can spend it and if you don't spend it, you lose it.

    SquareTrade does our best to offer flexible and suitable resolution options to meet our customers' needs. Our goal is to be swift and efficient when carrying out claim resolutions.

    I was impressed with the timeline and the way my claim was handled. My TV went completely out and after the representative did some trouble shooting, he determined it needed to be replaced (I had no picture or sound). He was very nice and explained the entire process. I received a new TV sooner than expected and am satisfied with the replacement (and this was a few days before the holiday).

    I have a robot vacuum. I heard people are having problems here and there. I purchased a protection plan from Allstate when I purchased the item. I made a claim when the item wouldn't charge at all. The claims process was bumpy. They said, "What do you wanna do?" "I'd like you to replace it." They sent an email and looking and checking my email, they said they're not gonna replace it, they're gonna send me a gift card. So, I said, "Okay. Why did you ask me?" They said, "Oh, they couldn't find one that to replace." It's a robot vacuum. They can. There are tons.

    I wanted them to replace it because I felt like it was advantageous to me. I bought the insurance and the prices on everything have gone up. So, I wanted them to replace it instead of just giving me a gift certificate and have me have to go out and shop for it. They sent me an E-card and I still don't have a vacuum. I'm busy. Now, I gotta go shop for a vacuum. So, it's not really over. Everybody was fine. It's just the policy. I asked to talk to a manager, and he said, "We don't replace vacuums. We don't. I don't understand why they have an email going to you asking you what you would like done because we don't do that ever. Never." He's a nice enough person. I don't think that he was lying to me.

    I found out on most of my products I never have to use Allstate Protection Plans 90% of the time because the products are good. I purchased it on certain things that go outside like game cameras and things that take a rougher environment. The two times I used them, they were good. But they need to have some way to connect them with the product I purchased them with. When I buy a plan, they don't put on the plan what item is on it. I have to tag everything together and that's the drawback of Allstate. Even when I buy it from the store, if I don't staple for it all together or write everything on the pamphlet and put the receipt together, I'm screwed. It's a big process. And I gotta put it all in my file cabinet. It's awful.

    I found that if I don't do it right then and there and correctly, I would not know what product it goes with. And when I'm shopping on Amazon and I may purchase three or four of them together, how could I tell which one went where? It shows the amount of money that it goes between the spread of amount of money that I purchased it. But it doesn't make sense. It's awful and it's frustrating sometimes. So, I couldn't print all this stuff out and put it on my printer and be able to go back to it easily and find out what goes where. I've done it for a while and I figured it out, but I would staple it all together and put it in my file cabinet with my paperwork for my item with Allstate. There was no secret number that went with what I bought with it in the early days.

    The last thing I did was I had to return a printer. I called Allstate and told them about the issue I had. They sent me a voucher through my email to get another printer and told me to do whatever I wanted to with the printer I had. They didn't want me to send the thing back to them. Cost them too much money. I had to come out of pocket just a bit, but not much.

    At first, I wasn't getting a protection plan, but I was noticing that all of the things that I bought are not through Walmart and they don't always work. I spent over $300 on a motorized little car and they said to charge the car and I did. After my son rode for an hour, the car would never charge again. I bought a battery and I spent close to $400 on this car. Since then, even if it's a $12 toy, if it says $2 insurance, I buy it.

    I had a claim with Allstate for a scooter that I purchased. First, they got my demographic information and then they tried to find a repair shop in my area. It was all in one day. It didn't take that long when they got back to me. They contacted the repair shop and the repair shop was saying that it would cost more to repair the scooter than what it was worth so they just refunded my money. It made me feel like I need to insure all these crappy little toys. The only thing was there was no way to speak to a live agent. It's always a chat. But they should give you both options. Other than that, it's great to get those insurance plans on those toys.

    I got a protection plan from Allstate Protection for an awning. I got it online and there was a follow-up email when I applied for it, and then there was a notation on my account for their item. I filed a claim and they only make you do it online and it was cumbersome to do such. They did take care of it. It took several telephone calls and emails, but there seems to be this hesitancy to talk to people live on the front end. So, they keep trying to send you through a web portal that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I found that to be frustrating. The insurance seemed a little expensive, but it worked out. I was successful in my venture of replacement. It did take some time, but it was replaced with a dollar amount where I could buy another one. It was interesting that they wouldn't just send me the exact item. They gave me money to buy my own, but it was just an extra step.

    We needed to have our TV replaced because it broke and Allstate insisted that I needed to take it somewhere to get the TV repaired. We live remotely and the closest place was over an hour away. And in the beginning, they pretty much refused to allow me any other options telling me that somebody would come to our house to repair it. So, it took over a month for me to call all these different places that they requested that I call just to be told that they couldn't help me. Then finally, I was able to call back and they allowed me to have a TV mailed to me, which then took another three weeks to get done.

    So, it was hard to get a replacement TV and we barely got one. The claims process was complicated because you file a claim then you have to call them. Overall, I made six calls just to get it resolved. Also, I loved our old TV better than the stupid TV they gave us. We've already had issues with it and I don't know if it's refurbished. But we're just stuck with it now.

    I got good customer service from Allstate. I bought a TV three years ago and I had issues with it. So, I called Allstate and the gentleman I spoke to was so professional. He talked me through things that we could try to try to get the TV working again. We did that for almost 30 minutes and we had no luck. But he was able to resolve it in an instant by saying he'd send out a new TV. He said it'd take a week or two, and I had no problem with that since I wasn't in a rush. But two hours after I hung up the phone with him, I got a text message from Allstate stating that my TV was on its way. He somehow got it expedited to have it come the next day at 10 o'clock in the morning. That's top-notch service and I appreciate what he did. The only thing is, my old TV was a Samsung and they gave me a different one.

    I also bought a $65 microwave from Walmart and we had issues with it. My daughter had to push the "make popcorn" in it twice and if my kids would make frozen dinner, it'd stay on the back of the box for 5 minutes and would still be frozen. Walmart didn't want to do anything about it and they just told me to call Allstate because it was past the 30 days. All I was asking for was store credit so I could get a new one. But when I called Allstate, they took care of it right away and sent me the money back instantly. It happened in a matter of 24 hours because they sent me an e-certificate.

    All in all, Allstate has been phenomenal and the only thing they could improve on is the waiting. Also, when using their app, you'd have to put everything in in order to get someone to even contact you and do something about your concern. If I was to file a claim on the app, I would put in every detail I could. But then they'd ask 1001 questions, which would involve everything I would have already done.

    I purchased a mattress at Big Lots and the protection plan 1 year ago. In one year the mattress is sagging and causing major back pain. I'm consistently being told by customer service my protection plan covers the free mattress protector they send you-- not the mattress. I would not pay 99 dollars for a free mattress protector. You can buy a mattress protector for less. Then they say you have to report the claim within 30 days. 30 days of what? A mattress doesn't sag in 30 days. I talked to Big Lots Management and they told my protection plan is an extended warranty that covers the mattress. I've talked to both companies several times and keep getting the same results.

    Meantime I'm sleeping on a 1300 dollar sagging mattress that's a year old. I've have this plan on my tv and mattress. Thank God the tv is good. I'll never buy this plan or from Big Lots again. To add insult to injury, several customer service reps tried to refund the 99 dollars to avoid responsibility. I don't want that refund; I want to get some sleep. SMH.

    The team that came and eventually repaired my 82" Samsung TV for Cone Appliance (Scott and Scott) were excellent. The process to get to the actual repair took a bit of time and included multiple calls to multiple entities. Here is my experience: I bought a Samsung 82" TV from Costco 2 years ago with a 5 year Allstate protection plan. Recently my TV Picture went completely out. No power to the TV. Doing my own troubleshooting it was apparent that the power board must have gone bad. I called the Allstate customer service Number to start a claim.

    Their system was down for approx 4 hours so they could not submit my claim until my 3rd call to them when their system was back online. Basically they filed a claim with Samsung and instructed me to now call Samsung Service. Upon reaching Samsung service they advised me that it would take a week for someone to come to look at my TV. After Samsung gave me their claim number, they told me Cone Appliance would be reaching out to me to confirm the repair appointment. I then had to call Cone Appliance to explain the them what the issue was with my TV.

    The dispatcher at Cone Appliance listened and informed me that she would order a new power board for my TV so the repair techs would have the part when they arrived for my repair appointment. When the repair techs arrived they quickly determined that it was the power board, but they did not have a power board with them as apparently the board was not previously ordered as expected. They had to come back 2 days later to replace the power board... When they returned they replaced the power board in less than 15 minutes and my TV worked fine. It took a while to get there but I am happy that the board replacement did the trick.

    We had this same chair before and loved it. But the bonded leather just disintegrated over time. We went to buy the same chairs & explained to the salesman at NFM about the last chairs. He assured us if we bought the Allstate Protection Plan we'd be covered if that happened again. Also covered against spill, tears, animal destruction, etc... So the leather on the back of one of our year-old chairs is starting to do the same thing the last ones did. No problem, we thought, because we bought the protection plan.

    But turns out, they won't cover this because it's not a "burn, spill, or tear". So the one thing we asked about when we were sold this protection plan, isn't covered. That is an unacceptable way to do business. There should be some liability responsibility somewhere. We actually bought two of these chairs and wasted our money on 2 Protection plans that now seem to cover nothing.

    The computer monitor would flicker like a fluorescent light bulb that is burning out when turning on or waking up from sleep mode. This warranty plan reimbursed my purchase price of an amount they thought I should be able to replace that monitor. I bought the same protection plan for the replacement monitor. I also bought a new TV and bought an Allstate warranty for it.

    TV audio failure reported Sunday 11/5 to Cosco then Allstate/SquareTrade Warranty. 11/7 and 11/9 schedule warranty appointments canceled after they never arrived--we had to call to verify where they were. 2nd Time they claim they did not have any parts? 11/13/2023 - called SquareTrade 1-888-504-2659 to find out the status of our Samsung claim #***. Was told to call Samsung 1-800-726-7864. Called Samsung at 3:30 pm on 11/13/2023. Spoke with Leno. He reached out to the Global Center Part American to check the status of the parts. 3 parts are in transit and 1 part is in backorder. Have no idea when the part will come in.

    As I was speaking with Leno my husband received a text message from NISI Samsung Authorized Repair Center for Wednesday, 11/15/2023 To do diagnostic only. The call could take all day with no time estimate given. This is unacceptable. Similar appointment was given on 11/7/2023 between 8 - 12 pm and never received a call from them. Ended up calling SquareTrade then Samsung to find out no part was available and in backorder. I feel this is a gimmick to buy time, while the customer is without the main TV. Again unacceptable!

    I have a plan for a Samsung 60-inch television. When I purchased it, it came with a two-year factory warranty from Samsung. I purchased a three-year extended warranty through Allstate. Exactly one year and five days after the purchase, the TV went to a black screen. I dealt with Samsung for seven weeks and they kept running me around and telling me that the TV did not come with a two-year warranty. They insisted that I got a one-year warranty from Samsung, and the second year is through a third party called Assurant. Samsung kept submitting a work order for a repair, and no one in my area was willing to work on the TV through Assurant Insurance. Everybody told me, if Samsung is going to pay for the repairs, they'd be more than happy to fix it. But if it's through Assurant, they wanted no part of it.

    I called Allstate to ask if I had to wait until the two-years was up before I could inform them of what was going on. The rep was great. He made a three-way call between me and Assurant, and tried to help me, which I really appreciated. And when the call was finally done, the Allstate rep told me that if I didn't get satisfaction with Assurant, call them back. He was very helpful. Three weeks ago, I got a check in the mail from Assurant, so there wasn't any need to call Allstate back.

    Less than 3 years and I had 3 different service calls (LG Washer), after the 3rd visit the tech said it's no good and need a new one (he was in house for less than 10 min). He took the parts that were sent and informed me I would hear something within 1-2 business days (I called 4 business days later). 3 weeks later and I have had to call 3 different times to get an update and finally was told they will send a 'Payment' to reimburse me (had to call a 4th time to find out how much). The payment is for a washer I bought 3 years ago that is now $200-$300 more. Fam of 5 and we just need a washer.

    Now I have to spend extra money on a new washer, pay for another warranty, take a day off work so I can make all this happen, and I'm waiting 5-7 more business days for a 'Payment'. SLOW process that had me going from website to sending emails to calling multiple numbers to talk to the warranty service, service tech, service tech coordinator, and kept being told 1-2 business days which was a lie.

    My dogs tore into one of the cushions and I had to file a claim. It was hard to get the reimbursement check. There was an issue with sending and there was limited access for communication. It had to be all through email or through the app, which isn’t user-friendly. I was trying to get into it and there were three different claims they put out there and you can only click on one. It wasn’t always updated. The way the rep who sold me the sofa spoke to me about it was something totally different than what the rep from Allstate Protection explained. He did great telling us about it but it doesn't match up with what Allstate covers. So, that needs to be fixed. Allstate should have an updated information. Also, the coverage wasn’t detailed. The dogs tore up the pillows as well and that was a big ordeal. So, it was annoying. But otherwise, dealing with the customer service team was okay. I'm glad I'm done and over with the claim.

    I have multiple items with Allstate Protection. One of my recent ones is a game system. I got the plan for it to make sure that it can be replaced if it malfunctions within the first few years because most electronics do. I went online and filed a claim. They asked me some information about what was going on with the device. After that, they let me know my options. Recently, my Switch went down, and instead of them just giving me a refund for it, they told me I had to send it in. I didn't like that they were not sending me anything to send it in.

    My concerns for other people and even for myself, is if I don't have it at the time to send a box with technology in it to them to get fixed, which would cost me money, that means I won't be getting it fixed off the warranty. They keep the claim open until they feel like you're supposed to send it. I'm having a little difficulty with that one right now, but most of the claims have been easy. They just tell you the refund amount and give it to you at the store. Most of my purchases are at Walmart. So, they give me a Walmart card, and then it goes from there.

    When I was having trouble with my Switch, I contacted services. It frustrated me that day, and I haven't called back yet. I also sent an email, but I haven't gotten anything. The website is great. It would just be nice to have someone to chat with more. Also, if you wanna stop a claim, it has no option to stop the claim. It gives you an option to cancel the warranty, but if you wanna just stop a claim at that time, it's a little hasty for me to pay for me to send it in for them to see what's wrong with it, and then tell me if it's feasible enough or they're gonna send me back my money. Allstate is very beneficial. It's necessary. I love the amount because I got a fair price for the amount of years. I really enjoy and I'm gonna keep buying my protection plans especially from Allstate. I have multiple positive things to say about them.

They sent me a prepaid shipping label, which is fine, but I had to get my own box. If I paid $139 for the speaker, then it's fine for them to give me a 139 gift card and I can get another speaker of the same value. But I can't get the same speaker.

Other times, I had a rough time making a claim with them because they said the device was still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. But, the manufacturer didn't wanna pay it off because they said, "We're not responsible for whatever it was damaged for." I had to go back to Allstate and explain to them what was wrong with it, and then the call would cut off. I had to start all over with someone else.

    The cooktop would turn on by itself, or it would turn off the burner I'm cooking on when I hadn't touched it or asked it to turn it off, or sometimes it could change the temperature. I went back to my eBay account where I had purchased it and it directed me as to how to do the claim. I had to send in a copy of my sales ticket then it sent me to another website. I called the other website and it opened up into an information page. I followed the directions on the information page and spoke to somebody. They told me to contact the manufacturer because it should have still been under warranty. It was only a couple of months old. This was a paint. I contacted the manufacturer and the only time I ever got a response from them was 4:00 in the morning.

    The next night, I sent them an email. Within 30 minutes, I had a response. They wanted me to tell them what was happening and what I had done. Then the next contact said, "Stop using it immediately." I came out in the middle of the night to get a drink and all my burners were on. They were flaming red. It freaked me out. I even tried to lock it because there's a mechanism where you can push one of the sensors and it should lock the whole panel. The lock didn't even work. They wanted me to send them pictures of what the controls were doing. I sent them pictures and like I told them in the email, I said, "It's hard to send you pictures of something that does what it wants, when it wants." Sometimes it'll do it, sometimes it won't.

    They asked me to have somebody come out and look at it, and I would pay for it then send them the bill. They said they would authorize $35. I said, "You're not getting anybody in this country to come out for $35." That was the first problem. I called a bunch of people and nobody had any information on this cooktop. I called electrical people because they wanted me to have somebody electrical come out. Then I started calling appliance people and the appliance people had never heard of this unit and didn't know where they would be able to get parts to fix it. Nobody wanted to come look at it. I told them that. Then they offered to send me 80 bucks and close the claim. I said, "No. I paid a lot more than $80 for this unit and I'm gonna have to buy another one." They're now over $250. They didn't even respond after that.

    I went ahead and contacted Allstate again because I've done everything everybody asked me and I was still stuck. They said they were gonna pay what the claim was for and sent me $236 on a prepaid Mastercard. I have spent more than that buying another stovetop. But I'm good. The process was awesome and I understood why they had to send me to the manufacturer. I had a problem finding a 36-inch cooktop though and I ended up having to wait a little bit. I went directly to Allstate and bought a protection plan for my new unit because the people I bought it from on eBay did not offer an Allstate protection plan. I'm selling iPhones on eBay and some of them have a manufacturer's warranty left while some of them only have a partial manufacturer warranty left. I would like to be able to offer people a full warranty. I would like to know how we can offer Allstate to our customers.

Their claims process was very easy and the person was very comfortable with me. I didn't have to go Karen, as people would say, and I didn't have to get upset. They just talked me through it and they were able to get me a check to pay for another controller, so I went out and got my daughter that.

    I understand that nobody wants to give you free money or make you get that free reimbursement back, but I didn't like the fact that I had to troubleshoot for about an hour to two hours of my time to get it done. I'm a technician by trade, so I'm pretty competent in what I do. So everything that I did with the troubleshooting people, I had already done myself. But I get it.

    I purchased a protection plan from Allstate for a VIZIO TV. I made a claim request because it stopped working. It wouldn't power up. Nothing we did would make it work. Allstate had taken us through several steps, and even that wouldn't allow it to start working again. As far as the claim process, I went through Walmart, and I went through their steps on how to go online and fill out all the information with Allstate. Then, I contacted a representative over the phone. It was easy to get in contact with the agent, but it was complicated to a certain extent to go through all the measures to satisfy Allstate in trying to get it replaced. They wanted me to unplug the TV and manually push the power button for 30 seconds and then do something else. They kept repeating the steps. I'd already done them, and then they wanted me to repeat them again.

    I put the original claim in April, and then, I had to call back four months later, and it went fairly fast after the callback the second time. Once Allstate accepted the claim, I got the TV within the week. They shipped it from Walmart. I'm very satisfied with Allstate. Originally, they were offering me a TV that I wasn't quite satisfied with. I have a VIZIO, but they were trying to replace it with an ION, and I wasn't happy with that brand. Somehow, they found a replacement for the same TV, which was nice. Overall, it was definitely worth buying the Allstate.

    My recent claim to Allstate was for my angel tree. Her light stopped working. It's already been taken care of. I did the claim online. It was very quick and easy. They sent me a check for the value of the tree. I also had a problem with the vacuum, and one of their gentlemen spent almost an hour on the phone with us trying to get my vacuum fixed. He could hear how bad the vacuum sounded. We had to take everything apart, which was fine to try to fix the vacuum. I was like, "If that breaks, then we're screwed." He was like, "No, we'll send another one." Anything that we've had go wrong, everybody's been really great with us.

    I filed one claim to Allstate online. It was quick and easy. My back camera lens shattered when I was taking my oldest son to school, and my phone went off the center console and hit something in the back. It shattered the back. So, it came off. Allstate was very cooperative, understanding, and they sent me a shipping label. They told me how to package the phone, and they told me to ship it back to them. They sent me a reimbursement of my choice. I had options. I could have chosen a check or a Walmart gift card or a regular gift card. I chose Walmart because it was where I got the phone from before and I really like that phone. So, I got the same exact phone. I got the gift card within 48 hours after shipping the broken phone out. So, it was efficient. I got a second plan since they were so great.

Was top notch until they made an error and sent a check for only the repair diagnosis amount and left out the refund for the covered cost of the generator before closing the claim. It was very challenging to find info about how to get this fixed. Only way found to start a conversation was using an online chat feature that was very cumbersome.

    Hello Joel,

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

    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 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.

    In this case, we were happy to speak with you and provide additional support regarding your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

    Thank you,

    LS.

    Bought over a year ago a GE stove with glass top and it just got a big crack in the middle and the 5 years product warranty with “All State” says that is not a mechanical or item defect; they described as physical and wear/use so the warranty plan doesn’t cover any of this, but to me it’s a mechanical issue because I think it supposed to last way longer with normal daily use. Called Home Depot to report this and they just said all this is out of their hands because it’s not a Home Depot warranty. Over $1,200 trashed.

    It was really easy to submit a claim when my ice maker broke. I talked to two people at Allstate. The first one I talked to was in the wrong department. But she got me to the small appliances department. I told them I never filed a claim before and they walked me right through the process. Everything was step-by-step. I didn't have to wonder or guess about anything. They were really good at explaining everything, what would happen next, and the emails that I would be getting. They were knowledgeable, fast, and efficient. They were easy to deal with. I loved the rep that I talked to at the small appliance department.

    The hardest part for me was finding the receipt. But since I bought it at Walmart, they've got the Walmart app and it tracks all of your purchases. So I was able to get a copy of the receipt. After that, it was three days and I had my email saying that they were just gonna give me the money to replace the item. They gave me a gift card for the purchase price, less plan. So they gave me just the amount to replace the ice maker.
