My Great Grandson dropped his tablet and cracked the screen. I purchased the insurance in case something like this happened. I found the process of getting the insurance and filing a claim was easy and on filing the claim, the emails keeping me informed of the status and getting a replacement were very helpful.

They don't care. I called when our TV went out not even a month after purchase. I was directed by the warranty that I purchased to call Walmart then they told me to call the manufacturer. I submitted my claim and was told to wait 3-5 days for a response. It's been 10 days as of today and no response no resolution nothing but a runaround!!!! Stand behind your products or don't sell them!!!

This was 1st experience working with insurance company. I thought surely it would go nowhere. Very much surprised at the short time it took to resolve issue. We had a new TV within a week. The TV is current model and 5 years newer. Easier to assemble as well. Not reconditioned and in a factory sealed box.

My LG TV screen went blank, tech was scheduled but failed to come out due to Covid, quickly rescheduled, tech came out and determined TV not repairable. SquareTrade immediately decided to settle claim in full price return minus S&H and taxes. I was very please all the way through this ordeal and so glad Costco offered it and I got to know first hand how great they are. You are in Good Hands with Allstate and I highly recommend them for protecting your purchases and for insurance.

I purchased this plan because my son is on the spectrum and tends to be rough with electronic items. I purchased a 2 year plan but just found out it termed after one repair. As with most plans there is a catch- if the repairs cost more than the purchase price of the plan they will not cover the damage. So basically they may cover your item once but if anything happens after that it will not be covered again. Just be careful with purchasing this plan especially if your child is similar to mine.
Hello Mayra,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction with your recent experience with us.
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 your coverage amount. In this case, we were unable to process a new claim since this limit has been met.
We appreciate you taking the time to review us, and we hope to provide a better experience in the future.
Thank you,OU

Very easy filling of claim online. After mailing the camera with the provided mailing label, I received regular updates. The camera was repaired and returned within two weeks of submitting the claim. The regular updates were welcomed, along with the updates on the shipping of the camera. The camera appears to be working well, as when it was new. Still doing some testing of all the settings.

The machine would not heat the brewing water hot enough to make a proper cup of coffee and then the warmer burner would only maintain that temperature of 160-165 degrees. The national Coffee Association states the water should be 195-205 degrees for proper brewing of the ground coffee beans. Gevi told us that 165 degrees was in the normal range and then stopped emailing me, That is when I contacted the extended warranty company I had purchased and they immediately took control and issued our purchase price back.

This warranty service is through AllState. I was very leery of even getting it, but because it was a major purchase--my big screen TV-- I decided to do so. I am so glad I did! I have a 4 year extended warranty on my 50" Samsung TV and it developed major technical problems my 3rd year in. I contacted AllState, who immediately put me in touch with Samsung and now all is well with my TV. Allstate's online reporting service was easy to follow, gave me the information I needed and quickly took care of me. I highly recommend this product and will be purchasing these extended warranties from now on!

Hello Valerie,
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 consumers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

I called Allstate on 9/18/23 to open a claim to have our dishwasher repaired under the extended warranty we purchased. I was told they would order parts and a repair person would repair the dishwasher on 9/22/23. I then received an email that they were not going to order parts and the Friday technician visit was for diagnosis only. The tech did come on 9/22 and did diagnose the problem (which was the same as I told them on the original call). I called on 9/25 to find out when the tech would come back to repair the dishwasher and got the complete runaround from the customer service people I spoke with on the phone. I was told since he didn't do the repair that I would have to wait 2 days for an update. No parts were ordered. The upshot is I still do not have a working dishwasher or any idea when anyone is going to fix it. This is the worst customer service AND WORST TECH I have ever dealt with. I would NEVER recommend Allstate to anyone.

I made a claim on my Sectional that covered accidents. They decided that a refund would be the best way to take care of it. I got a email stating I was going to be refunded directly in full and that I needed to sign an affidavit. So I did. Once they received that they sent another email saying I was going to be refunded in the form of a gift card. Never once was I told that was the form of “direct payment” other than the couch that the store no longer even had. I do not shop there. They refused to change it, then offered to refund me the price of my Protection plans, I got the check and it was half of what I paid. When you are refunding someone it should be in the form how they paid! It also took them so long to respond and a few of the people I spoke with had very bad attitudes.
Hello Susan Bryant,
We apologize for any frustration surrounding your claim.
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. In any case that involves reimbursement, we find issuing the payment via an electronic gift card decreases the length of time a customer has to wait for their funds. Although a lot of customers favor this option due to the quick turnaround, others may not, as it was in this case.
We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and provide additional support regarding your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

I had a claim for the TV. The remote control wasn't working. I tried doing the claim online, but it said that I needed to call. So I did. I told them what was wrong and they tried to troubleshoot. Then they recommended that I get a new remote or buy it myself. Allstate covered it. They just explained to me that it was gonna have to be deducted if something ever goes wrong with my TV, that it's probably not gonna cover everything. Whatever I paid for it, they were gonna reduce the amount of the remote control cost. I didn't know that they wouldn't replace my TV. They would only replace the amount that I paid, not even the value. So if I got it for sale for 500, then they would only give me a credit of 500. I thought they would replace the TV itself. So that was not fully transparent.

Advertisements claimed at the time of purchase, and still claim today, that Allstate will repair, replace, or reimburse full replacement. Actual fine print says only reimburses purchase price, and many appliances, etc., cannot be replaced at original purchase price.

Hello Victor,
We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced with your recent claim.
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 coverage amount. Our protection plans are designed to provide coverage up to the total amount paid for the item at the point of sale. We are sorry for any frustration you have experienced due to this.

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

The reason it was so difficult is the item that I bought came with a one-year warranty. So, when I contacted Allstate to get some support, they said, "Okay. We'll, you know, technically, it's still under the manufacturer's warranty." Nobody could give me the manufacturer's phone number or contact information. So, I was kind of like left out to dry. The Walmart managers couldn't figure out who I was supposed to call. Allstate didn't know. So, I wasn't very happy at all.

The face fell off of my watch and Allstate replaced it. I had to box up the watch, then I got online and put in my number where I had my claim. It was fairly easy, and getting the replacement was very quick. However, I have not used it because I needed another watch, so I went ahead and bought one. I'll use the replacement watch if or when this one tears up. I would definitely use Allstate again. I would highly recommend it if you're getting any product, and I got it on my new one as well.

The charging cord chipped off inside the laptop port. I answered some questions for Allstate online and they evaluated the situation. I had to mail the device in. It got repaired and sent back to me. The warranty was valuable because I would not have foreseen that the power cord would have broken off. It's a good plan to have.

The computer fell off a bed and the screen went berserk. So, we sent it in and the issue was the connectors between the monitor and the other part. They fixed it and send it back. At the same time, we were dealing with another insurance company for a different item and the contrast was telling. Allstate was great and the other one wasn't.

My son dropped his tablet and we had to send it in for replacement. They wanted descriptions of what happened and when it happened. I sent that and they said they would follow up in three business days.

I have purchased these policies in the past for larger items but never had to use the warranty. This was the first time using the policy as my Primo Water cooler out of nowhere stopped dispensing cold water. After failing at figuring it out myself I turned to the warranty and BING, BAM, BOOM it was that easy. I explained what was going on, they went through the issue and got back to me in a timely manner like 24-48 hours and took care of it no problem. I had options too of either getting a check or having them issue a gift card to the retailer so I could purchase a new one which is what I did. I literally had that gift card within an hour and made my new purchase of another water dispenser and also added another Allstate policy to that one. I couldn't be happier how smoothly and efficiently this whole transaction went. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS is all I can say!!! Awesome Allstate. Great job!

Hello Greg,
We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.
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 the item must be fully functional at the time of purchase to qualify for coverage. This was not the case with your claim.
In this case, we were happy to speak with you and provide additional support regarding your claim.

ALLSTATE (SQUARE TRADE) IS AMAZING! Allstate stood behind their extended warranty and replaced my defective TV, even when Samsung refused to provide repairs and reneged on their promised warranty, breaching our contract and committing an act of theft and fraud. My whole life I purchased only Sony products, and after 50 years THOUGHT Samsung was an HONORABLE company, but what a HUGE MISTAKE THAT WAS! DO NOT EVER BUT ANYTHING FROM Samsung! (Their name should never be capitalized!).

A lightning strike took out a tv that had an extended warranty though Square Trade. I filed online, then called, and within a few minutes of troubleshooting, it was determined that the tv was toast. While I was still on the phone with an Allstate agent, I received an email with choices for a brand new replacement tv. A couple of days later, we were watching tv again!!! That was one of the smoothest, most hassle-free claims I've ever made, which fortunately isn't very often. If you ever make a purchase and see an offer for Square Trade extended warranty, I highly urge you to take the offer. Perhaps you won't need it, but as we all know, life happens. Be ready!

The insurance plan that I purchased was reasonably priced, simple to understand, easy to purchase and register. The item I insured stopped working so I had to file a claim. The process was uncomplicated, I had to send the item to Squaretrade for repairs. I was given easy instructions to follow, printed a free return label, packaged it up and dropped it off at a local Fedex pick up location about a mile from my house. After a few days when they couldn't make the repair needed, Squaretrade refunded my original purchase price. They didn't return my item, but as I said it couldn't be fixed, so that wasn't a problem. All in all, they helped turn my lemon into lemonade.
