    The handling of my claim has been absolutely unacceptable and, frankly, one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I have encountered. I work in customer service myself, so I understand that mistakes and unexpected issues can occur. However, the level of disorganization, misinformation, and repeated errors throughout this process went far beyond an occasional mistake.

    It took more than a month for my claim to be processed, and throughout that time, no one I spoke with seemed to have a clear understanding of the status of my claim or what was happening. Multiple claims were initiated due to apparent errors and incompetence in handling the original claim. I was repeatedly instructed to complete the same steps, even after I had already completed them and visited a repair location as required.

    At one point, I was informed that my claim had been approved. When I later called to check on the status, I was told that the claim had been canceled. I was then approved for a specific amount and received an email confirming that amount. When I called again for an update, I was told that the check would need to be reprocessed. I subsequently received another email stating that the check would be for a smaller amount and, even more concerning, would be sent to an address that does not belong to me.

    The address listed is a home that is currently for sale and is not even located in the same state as my residence. At this point, I have no confidence that I will ever receive the check that I have been told is being issued. The complete lack of communication, repeated misinformation, processing errors, and disregard for ensuring my claim was handled correctly has caused an unnecessary and unreasonable delay. As a result, my son has been without a phone for more than a month.

    I understand that claims can occasionally experience delays or complications. However, this situation was not simply a delay. It was the result of repeated failures in communication and claim handling, and I believe there should be some form of compensation or resolution offered for the significant inconvenience caused by the complete disregard and mishandling of my claim. At this point, I expect this matter to be resolved promptly, including confirmation of the correct payment amount, verification of the correct mailing address, and an explanation of what will be done to address the extensive issues I have experienced throughout this process.

    Updated on 09/09/2026: Today marks ONE MONTH since my Samsung washer was not fixed. Because I filed a Complaint with Costco, Allstate Protection is DELAYING fixing this product. I was advised that a different part was being shipped last week (9/3/2026), and a Costco Customer Service Representative was assured me it was being shipped at that time (following their conversation with an Allstate Protection Rep). However, the part was NOT SHIPPED -- in fact, it wasn't shipped until Sunday night or sometime Monday. I have been more than patient -- and I was advised via email/text that on September 17th, 2026, Allstate would again come out to service the washer. 5 weeks and the washer is not repaired!

    Original Review: I'd give ZERO STARS to Allstate Protection Plan (subsidiary of TradeSquare). It is almost a MONTH WITHOUT a working Samsung washer. The claim started on August 9, 2026, and finally approved on August 13, 2026 (with a receipt!). They've sent the incorrect parts twice now -- Supreme Appliance Repair sends techs out that cannot repair or order the correct parts. I've wasted another half day waiting for the tech--only to discover they need a different part. I've got about 8-10 emails and/or text messages -- This is a joke on the consumer at its highest!! Don't waste your time and money on Allstate Protection Plan. Expensive lesson!

    If I could give this company negative stars I would. Purchased protection through Home Depot for my washing machine. Plans says appointments within 2-3 days in most areas. Nowhere does this say doesn't include weekends. It's always 4 days before anyone shows up. Their technicians aren't actual technicians. If the problem is intermittent, they will just leave. No taking apart, checking wiring, taking measurements. This will leave you with a still broken appliance within a week. It's impossible for you to get a technician back out, because it has to be escalated to their escalation team. That team won't call you, you just have to wait around and watch your email. Hope they respond in a timely manner. Which doesn't happen, and you have no way to contact them direct. Call Square Trade and get lip service from all their agents. You are better off throwing your money in the trash than buying anything from this company.

    The customer service representative was very helpful, professional, and responsive. However, I was disappointed with the service provided by the contractor working with Allstate Protection Plans, Advance Appliances. The contractor’s lack of professionalism, efficiency, and punctuality made the overall experience unnecessarily frustrating. I reported my concerns to the Allstate representative immediately as a formal complaint regarding the contractor’s service. The representative was understanding and responsive, and quickly identified a solution to address the issue. I appreciated the representative’s willingness to listen and take prompt action.

    Allstate has a strong reputation as a trusted provider of insurance and protection plans. For that reason, I believe the third-party contractors selected to represent Allstate should uphold the same standards of professionalism, reliability, efficiency, and customer service. Customers who pay for quality insurance and warranty protection should feel confident that they will receive dependable service from both Allstate and its contracted service providers. I hope Allstate will take this feedback seriously when evaluating its third-party contractors and ensure that customers receive the level of service that reflects the quality and reputation associated with the Allstate name.

    If you have another warranty available, try them before you try Allstate. What I should have done was find out if that was the only warranty plan that was available. You just go by the notion of a warranty plan is a warranty plan, and who's to say that I will ever have to use it? I'm getting it just in case, just like insurance. So, I went ahead and got it.

    The online tools were fine. I just didn't like having to do it during the weekday. They're good for the weekend, because most people don't work in those jobs on the weekend. It was beneficial for the weekend if you can't get ahold of anybody. But during the week, I should be able to talk to somebody who's got a pulse. What I didn't like at first when I called is everything was automated. AI is taking over everything. AI has its pros and its cons. During the weekday, in situations like this, I would prefer to talk to a person, somebody who has a pulse, instead of an answering machine.

    The good thing is I bought all three appliances at one time. Around Memorial Day, they always have appliance specials at Home Depot and Lowe's. So, I bought three appliances all in the same brand, LG. I bought them two years ago in the month of June. Here it is, two years later. I was, “Two years later already, and my appliances are starting to act up on me already?”

    I did that as far as the oven. I had to go through the automated systems to set up an appointment. I had to tell Allstate what was wrong with it, and I had to go through several steps and to make sure that it was something where they didn't have to just come out here and it's something I could have done myself. I did all that through the chat thing. I call it AI because it only responds when I answer. Once we went through all that, we got to the part where Allstate set the appointment up. They gave me various dates and times. We had that set up. They told me they would mail me some parts for the appliance. I got an email with that. And the appliance showed up. The appliance would show up anywhere between one or two days before the technicians show up to fix your appliance.

    For the stove, the appliance came one day before the techs came. Once they got here, come to find out they sent the wrong part. That was a thing that I didn't like either. Nevertheless, you have to give a little grace. They contacted their person. The name of the appliance repair people was Goodman Home Solutions. They were the techs that came to fix the stove. They told me that they had to get in contact with them and they would have to reorder the right part, and once the right part comes, they will come back and fix it. So, we're going through the same thing again. We wait for the part to come. And they knew that the part was here, so they set up when they would come back out. It was done through an email. If the time didn't fit my schedule, I would have to call Goodman Home Solutions to reschedule. Luckily for me, it worked out okay as far as them coming back. They fixed that, and that was fine. I didn't pay anything out of pocket. I only paid for the warranty plan itself.

    Three days later, my dishwasher acted up. I went through the same process I did with the stove. And this time, they called me and left me a voicemail telling me that they have to move my appointment time for the tech to come out and fix it. I was not gonna be here at the time that they wanted to do it because I was going out of town. So, I had to call Goodman Home Solutions once again who were the techs that will fix the appliance. I had to reschedule. They're supposed to come out today between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00. I'm waiting on that to get fixed.

    My wife told me that the seal in my refrigerator is starting to go bad. I gave Allstate a phone call. First, I called Home Depot where I bought the appliances from. I said, “For this to be happening, evidently, I have some very faulty appliances here. And I would like to bring them back and get something else.” They told me that they were sorry that they wouldn't be able to do that. I would have to work that out through the warranty company where I bought the warranty from.

    In most cases, when you buy appliances or electrical stuff, you have your manufacturer's warranty and you have the extended warranty that you bought. So, I'm saying to myself, “It's been two years since I've had this.” I should not be using the warranty that I use. It should have been a manufacturer's default, because in most cases, the way it used to be, manufacturers' warranties last anywhere between three to five years before you even think about using the extended warranty. But times have changed now. Nevertheless, Home Depot told me that I needed to get in contact with the warranty company, which is Allstate. So, I called them and asked and told them the same thing.

    I purchased the insurance for a used laptop that I bought on eBay. The laptop began having issues with freezing. I spent many hours diagnosing the issue, only to find out that it was beyond my capabilities to fix without having to open the laptop. I filed a claim The claim filing process took approximately two hours, which is unreasonable. I was on the phone or chatting with an agent online. I was finally told to take the laptop to a local repair shop, and if the repair was under $120, to have it repaired, and Allstate would cover the cost, and if the repair was over $120, that All State would reimburse me for the laptop.

    The quote cost me $25.00, and was for $159, obviously over the $120 threshold. However, instead of accepting my claim, All State then said I had to send the laptop to another repair shop, and that I can only use FedEx to ship with. There isn't a FedEx in my town, therefore that is very inconvenient. All State also did not reimburse me for the repair quote, as the agent said they would. As of the time of typing this, I do not have neither a working laptop, nor a reimburse check for my claim. It's been weeks since I filed the claim. So, given that All State/SquareTrade doesn't do what they say, continues to 'move the goalpost' so to speak, and makes the entire claim process unnecessarily difficult, I will never purchase any policy from them again, and I do tell others not to as well.

    I bought the Allstate protection plan for my daughter’s MacBook, and when I submitted a claim, it was frustrating. The first time, they didn’t fix it correctly. I had to send it back because my daughter was having volume issues with her MacBook. Allstate should make it less frustrating for the customer because when I had to keep calling and repeating myself about the same thing, it was almost like something was going on internally with the conversation. They could have done much better with the communication. I’ve never seen anything be rushed so quickly, so that’s probably why they missed the first one. When I had to send it back the second time, they worked on it quickly and then sent it back quickly as well, so I ended up having to send it back. It’s just like taking your car to a shop to get it fixed and then having to bring it back because something wasn’t done correctly.

    SquareTrade offers coverage for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical issues and, when the accidental plan is purchased, physical damage. However, our Terms & Conditions state that there is a limit of liability set for each plan, which indicates the consumer's coverage amount. In this case, we would be unable to process a new claim in future since this limit has been met.

    There were several connections needed to get to a person to help with the claim situation. Once I was received, the person was understanding and very helpful. A more direct phone line would have eased some stress and moved the experience to a "5 star".

    Service was excellent. After doing the initial troubleshooting via phone, then approving the warranty eligibility, the mail-in, repair, and return process was completed very quickly. My MacBook was sent in on a Tuesday and I received it back the following Sunday. It was repaired the day after it arrived at the warranty center.

    Circuit board on Kitchenaid Oven/Range was not functioning properly. If the oven was used, it would not turn off without turning off the circuit breaker. Parts were ordered promptly, but the wrong parts arrived. They reordered the parts and the serviceman replaced the circuit board without incident. Everything is now working perfectly.

    My experience with Allstate for a claim on my washing machine was simply outstanding. I submitted my claim on a Thursday, and had a check in the full amount on Monday. I have never seen anything processed so quickly and painlessly. Thank you, Allstate.

    Overall it was great. I was not aware we needed new hinges for our oven door. Your staff knew and ordered the required hinges. They arrived on time, the technician called before his arrival. Once here the repair went smoothly and quickly. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Bought a 85 inch tv from walmart in Chico CA, was told several times on the day I purchased the product that Allstate extra insurance covers screen damage by the electronics department manager at the time of purchase, so trusted walmart and purchased a allstate warranty, tv became damaged on the screen and I called back the same department and contacted the same manager, she informed me to call allstate warranty and I was covered, no problem, I informed them I had already and was told absolutely no screen coverage, the manager said she was to told to always say it includes screen damage, she stated give me a moment and then started reading walmarts warranty back to me, in middle of reading terms I heard the comment THOSE RAT B-----------, something to that affect, she then stated she was again told those were the right coverages and that someone higher up would contact me back, we will see what happens,

    But this I can say allstate Walmart plans are fraud on the allstate side, with allstate anything read the fine print, and the re read the smaller finer print on their stuff, of course for seniors like myself it's too small to read, more than likely very well thought out by company deep thinkers, beware allstate anything, with walmart I'm waiting, I will repost any communications

    Hello Darren Ritchey,

    We apologize for any dissatisfaction with the consumer’s recent claim experience.

    SquareTrade offers different protection plans, each with specific coverage terms and exclusions. In this case, the consumer's item was covered under a Standard Protection Plan, which does not include coverage for physical damage. While the reported issue was not eligible for coverage under the terms of the plan, we determined that the consumer was misinformed regarding the protection plan at the time of purchase. As a result, and as a consumer service accommodation, we provided the consumer with a reimbursement equal to 50% of the item's purchase price. While we strive to assist our consumer whenever possible, claim determinations must generally be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the coverage purchased.

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

    Thank you,

    HZ

    Does not honor the extended warranty! Appliance caught on fire in our home while their technician was there, and they denied the claim stating it was a water issue. None of the service tickets state anything about water.

    Hello Wendy Cox,

    We apologize for any dissatisfaction with the consumer’s experience.

    SquareTrade strives to provide fair and effective resolutions for all consumers. Upon review, the reported issue was determined to be outside the coverage provided under the terms and conditions of the protection plan and therefore was not eligible for claim approval. However, after further consideration of the circumstances, we provided the consumer with a reimbursement as a goodwill gesture. While we are committed to assisting our consumers whenever possible, claim determinations must generally be made in accordance with the specific terms and coverage of the protection plan purchased.

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

    Thank you,

    Original Review: Aug. 7, 2026

    Updated on 08/13/2026: Company stated they will send replacement due to parts not being readily available to fix the TV, I am expecting a replacement within a week and will update when receiving it.

    Original Review: I have got the plan on quite a few of my purchases, I have attempted to use it twice. I bought a fan and got the plan. Well 6 months later it quit, the original purchase was $289.56. In return they offered to let me select from 3 fans to replace it with the most expensive being 89.99. They will replace with any item they want not the same as you purchased. Next item I bought a 75 inch TV and got the plan, they make you jump thru many hoops and then tell me am I sure it was damaged by me. I let them know it is hanging on a wall and been there since purchased. They want to schedule a repair guy for 6-8 weeks out to come see if it can be fixed. I told them I can't go that long without a TV.

    I asked them just to refund the cost of the plan since I never used it and I would just go buy another TV. They refused. The customer service was not helpful actually telling me they were doing me a favor since I didn't have a copy of the actual receipt from my purchase. I let them know I couldn't have registered the plan without a receipt and just told them to schedule the service. I bought a new tv and when the repair guy does show I am going to have him haul it off as it will save me 35 dollar recycling fee. You are better off throwing your money away than buying their protection plans. I never leave reviews but this is a SCAM so just ask when you are thinking about it if they will replace your exact item and the answer is NO.

    One of the hinges on my son’s laptop was broken and I started the process with Allstate online. It was great. It was relatively easy once we identified the laptop because we have several on the plan. The reps were very informative and made the process very effective. Allstate provides the convenience of getting my product repaired.
