My HP Desktop encountered a problem and I had the "Blue Screen." I failed to do anything to make it better. I had an endless loop. A nearby tech took a look at it. And, like me, was unable to get it to respond. I submitted a claim and shipped it. I received it back on day seven.

Hello April,
We greatly apologize for any delay in following up on your claim.
Squaretrade has several resolution options reserved should a local repair prove to be insufficient. Our goal is to ensure we are providing you with a resolution which best ensures you are provided a fully functional product, though we sometimes may request contacting support to proceed to the next step.
A member of our team has reviewed the claim, approved a new resolution and forwarded a resolution to the email on file. If you have any further questions or concerns please reach out to us at your earliest convenience. We appreciate your feedback and patience while we worked on this.
Thank you,KM

The claim process with Allstate is lengthy and tedious. After the claim was approved, the process was very efficient and pleasant. The repair technician, Corey **, was courteous and professional. He was on time and contacted me before arrival. Apart from the remote hassle I dealt with and the omission of a new remote in the repair parts package, I give Allstate a thumbs up.

Hello Jeffrey,

Original Review: Aug. 1, 2021
I purchased a two year Allstate protection plan at Walmart for a toaster oven. A mechanism in the door stopped working this morning and the door wouldn't close. I completed an online claim and it came back as denied because the coverage didn't cover accidents. My toaster oven didn't have an accident so I called Allstate Protection Plan. The customer service rep told me that because of the way I entered the situation online, it was flagged as an accident. I explained that something just broke in the door but she told me that there was nothing that could be done. Simply put, Allstate Protection Plan doesn't stand by their agreement with the customer and I feel cheated.
Hello Gregory,
We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.
SquareTrade does our best to provide expeditious and hassle-free service to all customers. We also do our best to ensure our specialists are providing accurate and friendly service. Unfortunately, per our terms and conditions, physical damage is not covered under our standard plans. However, we offer assistance if the issue is due to normal wear and tear when the item is used as directed. Unfortunately, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased. We are sorry for the frustration caused by this.
At this time, one of our specialists has reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.
Thank you,BC

I purchased a device that I wanted to file a claim on because it would not allow me to stream movies when it was one of the highlighted features of the device. When I purchased this device I purchased the SquareTrade protection plan for 3 years. According to the protection plan, coverage is supposed to begin on date of purchase, however, the company refused to file a claim for my device without a letter from Vizio. When I contacted Vizio they didn’t know what letter I was referring to and would not provide me with a letter to forward to SquareTrade. Then I also learned that if I filed a claim with SquareTrade, the warranty would be void. So now I have filed a claim and SquareTrade will not address the claim and now my warranty is void and I still have no solution for the inability to stream on this TV.
If the agreement between customer and company states that coverage begins on a stated date there should be no hoops to jump through to get my device serviced. That’s like getting in a car accident and your Allstate card saying coverage begins at the beginning of the month, but we aren’t going to cover you without a letter from your car’s manufacturer and once you file this claim you will no longer have car insurance. How absurd.
Hello Caroline,
We are very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your recent claim experience.
SquareTrade protection plans are extended warranties designed to provide peace of mind by protecting against mechanical and electrical failures when the manufacturer's warranty has expired or the manufacturer cannot assist during their warranty period. If the manufacturer does not provide service, SquareTrade can reevaluate the case to see how we can take care of the customer's issue.
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.
Thank you,BC

This warranty is useless. I have dead pixels on my oled TV from LG. After exchanging several photos, they decided I have burn-in, and not dead pixels. This is completely false. The photos clearly show zero color produced on a red screen and green color produced on a yellow screen. That is evidence that the red pixels are dead. But they call it burn-in, so they can refuse to honor the warranty. These are a scam. I will NEVER buy an Allstate product again.
Hello Gregory,
We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration faced during your recent claim.
SquareTrade's goal is to provide accurate and effective resolutions for our customers' issues with their items. To do so, we may request photos or additional information to determine the best course of action for each claim. In this case, the provided photos confirmed burn-in on the TV display. Therefore, we were unable to process a claim as this is excluded from coverage per our Terms and Conditions.
Again, we truly apologize for any trouble you experienced during the claim process. At this time, one of our specialists has reached out to you to provide additional support.

I just want to say that I have always had great experiences with SquareTrade & Allstate.

Our LG tv went out after only 2.5 years. We received a new tv replacement by this company. They communicated by email. I was curious about tracking information, so I called the customer service center and they sent the tracking information within the next two business day.

I love the SquareTrade-Allstate Protection plans. I have yet to have a problem with an item I placed a claim on. As long as you have proof of purchase and are within warranty, they will send you a shipping label for repair or prorate your defective product. Well that's been my experience. Manufacturers seldom answer or return claims, but All-State is always ready to help.

They are an insurance company and insurance companies do everything they can to get out of paying claim. Just bought a 120.00 bluetooth headset from Office Depot in Store. My wife files away so many receipts because of our business. I asked the store mgr if they'd be able to pull up my claim if needed. He said yes. Not so, Allstate did not even know I existed. They required a receipt. I have to call Office depot's headquarters for copy of receipt and that wasn't good enough for them. They wanted register number which did not come on that receipt and DNA evidence that I'd been there and done that. The receipt had receipt # and item # and warranty item # including date and purchase prices for item and warranty.
They sent me 4 emails. Final one was to send them a copy Office depot had sent me. Then they tell me they'll have to find my account and get back with me in 2 or 3 days. Meanwhile I spent 2 HOURS JACKING WITH THEM AND WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER WHILE WAITING ON THEM TO MOST LIKELY REJECT IT. As it seems they are trying so hard to do. I will not buy another Allstate anything, God willing.

We purchased this refrigerator through Costco and included an additional 3 years of warranty over and above the 2 years that came with the purchase. Happy we made this choice as the icemaker broke down in year 3. We called in the claim and the customer service rep was extremely professional and helpful, especially when it came to uploading documents to a website. We got approved promptly and received the replacement part shortly thereafter. Made an appointment with the designated repair shop and they were able to come out within two work days of when the part arrived. Tech arrived on time and installed the part.

It was a pleasure to deal with them. My Samsung TV kept powering off and on for no reason. Once the required information was sent to them a new replacement TV was sent out. The only slight issue was that they requested a 10 second video clip of the problem that was less than 5 MB in size. The one I captured was 1 minute long and 20 MB in size. So I found some software that let me truncate it and save the video in a lower resolution. The size turned out to be 7 MB but they didn't have a problem with that. Am not sure how a lot of people could do that. Like I said it was the only issue I had and would highly recommend this extended warranty.

We purchased a refrigerator from Costco because they had the best price for the flex zone four-door option. Unfortunately, shortly after we had it installed our icemaker in the upper left of the refrigerator compartment began freezing over. My husband thought it himself a couple of times, but it kept happening. Finally I called our warranty service and they sent someone out very quickly to address it. It was fixed but soon thereafter began having the same issue. I called again and again had someone come out relatively quickly. We were told both times, by the same tech, that this is a known issue with our particular refrigerator.
Upon the third occurrence I relayed this to the agent. The agent set up another appointment with the tech, and said that if it occurred again they would have to take a different approach. Shortly after that conversation I received email notification that we were just going to be reimbursed for the refrigerator purchase.

But to my surprised, my laptop was shipped to someone and the tracking numbers weren’t a mix up. I was confused and angry, like how did this happen??? I had put off freelance work I needed to do, losing income until my laptop was found and returned and then shipped to me. Yes, my laptop was repaired but having it lost really put me in a financial bind that I’m still trying to recover from. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone after the mess I went through for almost a month.
I kept getting the same repetitive, “We’re working on to get your laptop back,” responses when I was suffering from losing freelancing jobs and having my reputation and work put on the line. It was frustrating and still causing some damage control in my freelance work. Honestly, your repair team worked great in fixing my laptop’s issues, but we’re severely negligent when it came to shipping it back; I trusted you all blindly, but I won’t ever again.

Contacted SquareTrade and explained the situation and that I could not afford to be without my laptop for the time it would take for transportation to and from and the time within the repair shop. Square Trade provided approved repair shops locally and I took it to one of those and the turnaround and service was great. The overall cost was much, much less than the shipping cost. Great to be flexible in the needs of the customer. Thank you. Earl **.

Hello Larry,
We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your recent experience.
SquareTrade does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first course of action. Reimbursement is typically an option reserved if we are unable to repair or replace your item. 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 repair, if the item is repairable, and whether we can source a comparable item within the limit of liability, and so on. We are sorry for any frustration experienced due to 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.
Thank you,BC

Problem started February 2021, door gasket on the fridge could not be replaced as gasket is built into the door (4 door unit Right side top). After waiting for months I contacted the extended warranty co, and had to wait 50 minutes to talk to a rep. During the conversation the rep stated that I had been quite patient, and further the parts were not available. He stated he wanted to talk to someone about a buyout and would call back. The next day the refrigerator would not freeze. I called in for service and waited about 45 minutes to talk to a rep. She advised me that City Maytag would handle the service. I contacted City Maytag and was advised that service would be at my home on a Monday. City Maytag responded and performed diagnostics which revealed that a safety switch had failed. It would be 8 to 10 days for the repair while waiting for the switch. The door had been located at that time.
During the wait for the freezer and fridge repair I talked to City Maytag service whom I had talked to on several occasions while waiting for door replacement. During one conversation I mentioned that the warranty co stated they might buy us out of the fridge. She advised me that the warranty co told her that they don’t buy people out, nor do they call customers. She also advised that it was not uncommon for her to wait an hour while trying to contact the warranty co.
The problems I encountered starting in Feb. 2021 are more than a pain in the neck. The lack of parts for months, the statements made by your representative, and outright lies are more than a customer should have to bear. We are waiting for the safety switch part, and the recently found right upper door to the fridge. Further, the City Maytag service person also stated that during her conversation with a rep of the warranty cos he was told that a $250.00 coupon for loss of food would be sent to me, and we should use it. That never happened. Thank you for your concern.

My TV was out of manufacturer's warranty when the picture became dark and muddy, but I did get a Square Trade warranty when it was purchased.

I do not recommend purchasing Allstate Insurance. I have been a member of Allstate Roadside Insurance services for 12 years, and have my vehicles and home insured by Allstate. I have a RV and this service, costing $104.50 per year, covers both the RV and vehicle (if necessary) to be towed. In past year Allstate had provided exceptional Customer Service. Three years ago, within 2 days of using my credit card to make my yearly payment, the card information was used fraudulently by unknown individual’s to purchase over $3000.00 of goods and services.
The next year, when my payment became due, within 24 hours, the card was used fraudulently again with over $700.00 worth of goods and services being purchased. To ensure this issue did not happen again I dealt with an Allstate Individual in the United States, Betty out of the Phoenix Office, who was part of Allstate’s Executive Team. Not only was I able to purchase the Roadside service but she was able to remove my Credit Card Information of the Allstate Data Base and email me that these requirements had been completed after the transaction was verified as paid.
TODAY, the phone number that I used to speak with Betty is no longer in service. The only phone numbers available are those that connect you to someone in India or South America. I even tried getting help from an Allstate Broker and informed that no phone number is available, other than what is online. These individuals will take your money with a Credit Card, state they will remove your card information once the services have been purchased, BUT do not have and will not be able to email you that your card information has been removed from their Data Base.
Auto and Home Owner Customer Service individuals, which are located in the United States, can’t help or provide a way to accomplish the things that will allow one to purchase the Service, ensure all information of the Credit Card is not left in their Data Base, or issue a Conformation these actions have been accomplished. After seven attempts the two consistent irritations are, those you speak with will not transfer you to a supervisor and they do not have the ability or will not transfer the requests I made to Allstate’s U.S. office. I have been told, twice, I will receive a phone call from a manager (Andrea and Maria) who will be able to assist me.
After trying for 15 days, and waiting an additional 5 days for that call back, Allstate has failed. Customer Service (Roadside Assistance AND Home and Auto) is poor and not acceptable. Recently, Allstate Brokers assistance has also become extremely limited. At this time I would not recommend purchasing Insurance services from Allstate, be it Roadside or Home and Auto.

The TV would randomly turn off out of the blue and it was periodic. I didn't call and when I finally called it the first time, they said, "You should have called the first time when you first had the problem because that would've started this whole process." They were able to do a temporary fix but the TV had problems. It had the same issue then an additional issue. Then I called again with a new issue. Each time, they were able to resolve it momentarily but it seemed to come back up a month later. I expected a little back and forth and Allstate trying to protect their money. I totally understand that but once I got towards the end, I kept having issue after issue. I've called back probably five times in the course of three to four months and they kept fighting me.
The last time I called, the television wasn't connecting to the internet and they weren't able to resolve that. They passed it along to TCL because it was a hardware issue. It was the fifth hoop I've had to jump through and I was kind of done. Finally, I had to put my foot down and say it was unacceptable that they weren't processing my refund. They ended up finally doing that but it was more hassle than I had anticipated. But for the cost of the insurance, it was still worth it.

I bought Allstate Protection Plans for my LG OLED 65" TV C7P about three years ago. It was a four year extended warranty protection plan. I called today to file a claim for green patches start to develop on my LG OLED TV, I was told to send pictures of the issue which I did. I send the pictures showing green patches all over the screen with yellow background. However, I got a rejection email from them simply asking me to contact LG. They even suggest it is a misuse of my TV for which I seldom watch the TV for over 3 hours a day for the last 3 years. Please stay away from Allstate protection plans. I thought this should be a smooth process of filing a claim, and in fact I was rejected bluntly and irresponsibly. If I know this is what I paid for to get an extra peace of mind with $299 at the time of purchase, I would not purchase it. They don't really honor their obligation to written contract. Stay away!

My claim with SquareTrade went great. It was a lot smoother than I expected. I just went back to my Amazon receipts to look and see when I purchased it. Because I remembered buying a warranty, I just didn't remember when I bought it. It was still inside that period of time. I just hit the submit a claim button and explained what happened. I was emailed a shipping notice and told what to do. There was only one confusing part, though. The shipping said to remove the battery if it's removable.

We have the SquareTrade warranty for the pool robot, Aquabot. My email said that they could not repair it and they would be refunding my money that we paid for it. So if I can get my money back, that'd be great. The last person I talked to was able to get everything done for me in terms of shipping my Aquabot back. He got me a shipping label and told me what to do. So it all worked out fine. That was the good part. The first two experiences I had were not good. When they would send me a link to file the claim, the link would not work. It never worked, never has worked and I told them that. The first guy said, “Let me talk to IT and see if we can resolve it.” Got back to me within 10 minutes, said it's resolved, “We're gonna send you a new link.” Sent a new link, but it would not open.
Finally, he said, “Send me a picture of the claim,” that you can't get uploaded on the link, “and send it to my email and I will take care of everything.” I said, “Fine.” Took a picture of it, uploaded it to his email and thought it was resolved. That was the 1st of April. Then never heard, so got a little antsy. After about two weeks, called again. Nobody had any record of any of that as though it didn't happen.
So this person said, “Don't worry about it. I'll take care of the claim for you.” Fine. Waited, but didn't hear anything. Called again, somebody said, “I see where they put a claim in but nobody activated your claim.” But this guy took care of it. I shipped it in. They received it and they said it was not repairable. I would be getting a check in 7 to 10 business days. The biggest concern I had with everything was the inability to understand their English. Some were okay. Some were so bad, it was repeat, repeat, repeat.

I purchased my phone from Costco and the salesman made a good case for SquareTrade and made it seem like a better option than taking the classic AppleCare. It was very enticing so I decided to go with it. The frame of my iPhone bent a little bit which caused the back glass of it to crack a little bit. I was worried that water might get into it so I filed a claim in early January. The process was seamless. I had a few options which were 1) get it fixed here and have the check sent minus the deductible, 2) send the iPhone to SquareTrade to be repaired and 3) get a replacement phone which is a refurbished phone. I opted for the third one because I couldn't stay without my phone for so long.
I received the phone probably a week later. It was back and forth back then because I didn't receive any receipts or tracking number for some time. Eventually, I called and the gentleman was very helpful and told me that the phone was in the mail. I received the phone, activated it and sent back my old phone. However, the phone that I received died a month and a half later. Since I got the new phone replacement, it was in a case. I was making sure that nothing happened to it. I let it charge overnight. In the morning, I picked up the phone and it was stuck on the boot screen. I tried to restore it but it didn't work. I set up an appointment at the Genius Bar. They took a look at the phone and said, “It’s not worth it to fix it. It would cost like $500 to replace that motherboard.”
That was when I decided to call SquareTrade. The first person who helped me said they couldn't do anything about it because my warranty just expired. I was upset with it. I called a second time. The rep escalated to his supervisor or manager and he was super helpful. He understood and walked me through my experience. He listened to the concern and found the solution for it which was good.

When I was buying our 4-channel security system, it was our first security system being put up. Prior to that, I was scammed a few times. I wanted to make sure if it came broken, I wouldn't be stuck with something that was broken. Every two weeks, the whole system shuts down and restarts, which is normal because that's what it does. One day, I looked at the camera and it was off. The time was going, but there was no video, and I was like, "Okay, well, I'll see if someone can come go up there, look at it, and see what's wrong with it."
I couldn't just call someone and be like, "Come fix my cameras." So, after a month or two, the tech looked at it, tried to fix it, and tried re-plugging it in. I tried restarting the system a couple of times. It wouldn't come back on for some reason. So, I got in my email and I tried to see if I still had a warranty on it because it took us almost six months to put it up. We finally got it put up and it was doing good for a while, and then just randomly went off. I tried everything to fix it and that didn't do anything. So, I called to see what I should do, like if there was something that could be done.
I contacted All State first and they had me explain what it was. I told them the receipt information that I had and they set everything up. At first, they were like, "Okay, so you can take the system down and send it in, and then we'll fix it and send it back." I said, "That just sounds absolutely ridiculous. I expected to either send it back and get a new one or something, but not wait for it to get fixed." With COVID, everything's so much slower. And I was like, "If anything, it would be easier to do what I just did - ordered another set." As these got taken down, we put the new ones right in the other spots.
The option that they agreed to with their supervisor was when I get the system down, I could send it in and they would just refund me for my purchase. It worked out. I got the money back for the system and I was able to get another system. It took a bit and I was upset at first because I said, "I don't know how you expect me to just take this system down and then re-put it back up whenever you're done fixing it." But then they said, "Well, you can send it back if you want, and obviously just get another security system somewhere from us or whatever." I agreed to that to make it easier. A whole swap-out. They did good with making sure that at least I got something out of it. I'm glad I have the protection plan. If I didn't call, it would still be messed up and I would have no idea that I could get it fixed.

I appeared to me that a sensor or computer boards somewhere was malfunctioning. Square Trade shipped parts they thought would be needed in the repair and dispatched a repairman to complete the work. Nothing they sent fixed the problem and the repairman had to diagnose the problem to figure out what the real issue was.
After 2 more attempts to fix the problem he finally determined the root cause and a replacement door was ordered and installed to correct the problem. While I appreciate Square Trade trying to be proactive by sending anticipated parts for the repair they really had no idea what was causing the problem and should have just allowed the repairman to diagnose the issue and determine what parts were needed rather than having him try their "fixes" first.

We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration faced during your recent claim. 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 consumers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of the resolutions is based on several factors, such as the cost of repair versus the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable item within the limit of liability, and so on. We are sorry for any issues this may have caused.

However, they were all telephone repair places and none of them could repair it. So, they had us ship it out and have somebody repair it, and ship it back. Once it was determined that nobody that they sent on the list could work on it, they sent us a shipping label and got it back less than a week from the time FedEx picked it up to the time that they shipped it back and repaired.

I could spend $40 more to save that 30 that I'm handing them and just get my son another tablet. Clearly, that's what I'm gonna get. The whole purpose of putting insurance on a tablet is because I want another tablet. I don't care if it's new. It could be used. I'm dissatisfied because I didn't get another tablet. My son is autistic and that's what he uses to communicate with us. Even if SquareTrade would’ve taken my old one, just fixed the screen and then sent it back to me, I'll be happy with that too. When the tablet process failed, and they said, “Nope, sorry,” I had to go through his school to tell them I don't have money for another tablet. SquareTrade gave me my money back and I have to buy another tablet, but if he breaks it or something happens to it, they're gonna have to wait again for me to get another tablet.
Hello Diana,
We apologize for any frustration surrounding your tablet claim.
SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and reimbursement is typically an option reserved for atypical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our consumers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of the resolutions is based on several factors, such as the cost of repair versus the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable item within the limit of liability, and so on. We are sorry in this case we were not able to source a replacement for you.
At this time, one of our specialists has reached out to you to address this matter and to provide additional support.
Thank you,CT

When the TV went bad, I called them and it was interesting that the gentleman that I talked to was in Mexico City. But I'm okay with it. The process was pretty thorough. We had to go through a whole list of things, which I had no problem with. After all we went through, he said they would replace what I paid for the TV, which was $300 at the time. I was looking for a way to fix it and get it over with. I had no intentions of trying to get another TV or at least a recovery of the money. But the warranty covered it, so it worked out fine. We got a check in the mail within a short time.

I've always relied on a factory warranty. It's so much more of a hassle to deal with the factory though. Walmart offers the SquareTrade warranty. I purchased one a few years back and didn’t need to use it, but I've always figured that I should always have an extended warranty. This last time, my son had a pair of headphones that needed to come in and I was very happy SquareTrade took care of it. Everything was really seamless. They did a great job.
When I started the process, I wasn't clear on when the label was supposed to be sent and I wasn't aware that it was an email. It's my fault though. I initiated the claim in the beginning of March and I waited for a label to be sent to me in the mail. I sent an email, and somebody responded and said that it was part of my original email response. When I looked in there, I noticed I had the mailing label the whole time. My warranty on that product expired on 4/6 and I procrastinated on getting the item that needed to be repaired to SquareTrade's facility the day that the extended warranty on the product expired. They still honored it. I'm sure they would have anyway, because we started the process before the warranty expired.
Repair was phenomenal. The pair of headphones is back the way it's supposed to be and my son loves it. We also got it back in an expedient amount of time, which was five days after the repair was done. My son and I were very happy and I'm glad now that I have the extended warranties on the rest of my products, including three TVs. I will continue to buy SquareTrade warranty when I make any more purchases.

Horrible experience! I will never buy any insurance through this company again! The parts for my tv did not exist so the repair shop did what they could but it still didn't work and because of technicalities. I ended up with a horrible tv that doesn't look good at all, and Squaretrade refuses to do anything about.

The most recent that I used for the claim was with the PlayStation 4. The issue had something to do with the HDMI port and they ended up fixing it. The instructions are pretty clear when I go online to do the claim. They send something that says how to get it to them. The only drawback that I've experienced with them is when they do fix something, I don't recall ever being told like what was wrong and what they fixed. They just fix it and send it back. When I sent in my Apple Watch, it was the same process. They tell you to send it, you send it, they fix it, and it comes back. But I've saved a lot of money with them because the manufacturer’s warranty was already gone when I had claims for the PlayStation and the Apple Watch.

One time, I had to send my laptop in to get the headphone jack fixed. At another time, the screen broke. I had a week off of school, and I didn't need to be doing schoolwork. I sent it in and it was back right in time for me to go back to school, so it was great.
Both times I sent it in, I had to call someone about it. They were always super helpful. Both times went well and were very smooth too. When I got my laptop back, it always worked perfectly fine. My brother has a much more expensive laptop than I did and did not insure it. He should have bought the insurance ‘cause he can’t afford to be getting new laptops every couple of months. His laptop got ruined a couple of months after he got it, so now he has the insurance too.

I purchased SquareTrade through Amazon and it's for my headphones. I always break them. SquareTrade gets me my stuff back whenever they break.

SquareTrade is very good. I bought the warranty when I bought the game at Walmart. The reps were good and helpful as well. With another PlayStation I had, we had to go through a big process with them, but this one was simple. I just called up, got the printout sent to me, and I sent it in.

I had SquareTrade for a coffee pot that I collected. I bought the plan on the eBay site. For my phone, I went ahead and called direct. Having a plan is valuable on a cell phone. I talked to customer service about the coffee pot and I was working with them on that. One guy was not so hot on the deal. But when I called back, the gal was great. SquareTrade works great and I would recommend it.

The tire of the kid's bicycle we have came off from the metal part so it kept going flat. The claims process was pretty easy. I just had a hard time with the receipt because I didn't have it anymore. I thought it would automatically load up into the claim process once you get the warranty on it. The good thing is I have a Walmart account so I screenshot my digital receipt. To rectify the issue, they sent us a gift card to be able to replace the part.

The protection plan that I got for the vacuum was good because the vacuum did not work. The claim was completed in five minutes and it was super easy. Then that same day, I had an email with the email gift card, so I was able to get a different vacuum. It was a great experience.
