    It was a lot of run around!! They ask for the same documents over & over. I finally talked with an agent that got things settled. I also have a second TV that I’m having issues with. Wondering how long this one will take!! If the insurance company doesn’t want to work on a claim they should not be selling it.

    This was not an easy process at all. It took me numerous times speaking with a representative to get the claim resolved. I had to resubmit it twice and they said it was because of technical difficulties. On the third attempt the customer service representative said the last person had done it wrong and would try to resolve the issue. Big hassle. I have several products covered through the insurance. I hope I don’t need to submit anything else.

    I sent them a Chromebook that needed repaired or replaced. They sent me an email stating that it couldn't be repaired and they don't have a replacement, so they were to send a reimbursement via Walmart gift card within 2-3 days. It has been over a week since I received the email. I still have not received my reimbursement! I called customer service and was given run arounds and then finally told that I would receive the gift card in my e-mail by yesterday. Still nothing! I am highly unsatisfied with this company. Oh and you don't get reimbursed for the tax you pay on the item, so you essentially pay taxes twice when you replace it yourself. It seems to be a scam!

    Hello Christie,

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

    SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our priority, and 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 repair cost, the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the plan's coverage limits, and so on.

    Again, we are very sorry for any frustration you have endured with the resolution provided. One of our specialists has reached out to you to discuss this further.

    Thank you,

    Good experience reaching out to Allstate warranty. The online form made it easy to reach out for assistance on what to do, to either repair or get a refund for my broken cell. Although they only refunded the amount paid for the cell phone. I guess I would recommend that anything you purchase with a warranty from Walmart you should always buy it.

    I have always been extremely satisfied with any claim I've had to do. The representatives go above and beyond to help satisfy what the customer wants to get the issue resolved whether it be to have a Walmart gift card or check mailed to your home address. I have never had any issue filing a claim, if I have had to send an item in Allstate is very good at sending me a shipping label to be able to send the item in if needed. Which occasionally sometimes no fault of Allstate I may've misplaced the item example: broken Cellphone then it may take me a bit months to find the phone. Albeit it has only happened a couple times.

    Allstate reimbursed me the cost of the item as long as I have proof. Saved emails to show that I put in the claim before the warranty expired. I am very happy with the extended protection plans. I purchase them every time I purchase an item that gives me the option to purchase one. They are well worth the extra little bit of money to spend on an extended warranty.

    I first called your company on 7/5/23 regarding my power recliner, and was told I needed to call WayFair instead. When I called WayFair, I was told that I had to call your company back, as the manufacturer's warranty was only 30 days. To date, this has STILL not been resolved. I received numerous emails from what appeared to be different departments. At one time, I was sent an email with a picture of a technician that was supposed to come to my home. I left work at the appropriate time, and then received a FaceTime phone call instead from a very nice gentleman who had to see the recliner on FaceTime.

    A few days later, I received the parts he ordered for my chair. Another email said I could fix it or ask for a technician. Then another email stating you'd located a technician that should be contacting me in the next few days. Hopefully, I'll hear from someone today since it's been a few days. I work for a company that stresses extremely great customer service, so I would hope you can see why I am so frustrated. I certainly hope this can be resolved very soon. Thank you for your time.

    The claims process has been pretty good. But there was a time that I had an issue and they gave me a little bit of a problem. I hardly ever have to use the warranties because they usually expire on most of the stuff I get before I get to use them. I got upset with Allstate for a little while because they put me through the wringer on my radio warranty. They tried to get it to go and get it done instead of it being quick and easy on me. They had me take pictures and write on a piece of paper the date and time. It was upsetting because I've got a lot on my plate. Thank God they finally worked it out. They said they had to send me a check. But I would rather get the gift card because it’s quicker. I didn't have to wait two weeks.

    When I had a claim for my TV, I also had to wait for a check on it. It took forever. It finally got here after two weeks and I was finally able to go get a new TV. I tried to call in a claim for the stereo but they told me I had to send it by email, which didn't make sense because I already started a claim through email. But overall, it’s worth getting a warranty. I'm able to get my item fixed whenever it's something that's not my fault.

    I've purchased Allstate's plans every time I purchased electronics, and normally, the claims process is okay, but now that they've outsourced everything to another country, they don't even understand me. I did a claim for a television, and it was trifling, horrible and took forever. First time, I went online to create the claim, then it sent me an email and said I had to call to do the claim. I called and got hung up on for about four times. I sent a message again through the email and got a response to call again. I called again, then they made me go through trying to turn the TV on four different times. The TV wouldn't turn on, so they said, "Well, unplug it." I did that with four different people. They can't troubleshoot a TV that won't come on.

    It was back and forth, then Allstate denied the claim. I called back again and asked to speak to a supervisor, but I got hung up on. I called back the next day. It took about a couple of weeks to get this done 'cause I was frustrated from calling. Finally, I got a supervisor on the phone who approved the claim, then they sent me a new TV. This was the worst experience. Allstate should stop being so damn cheap and pay somebody that speaks the native language.

    My experience with Allstate was a good e. Regarding claim file and completed July 14, 2023. The initial process was plausible, accurate and veriwd against my covered device which was a Cricket Splendor phone I purchased through Walmart almost a year ago. The screen had damaged by accident when it dropped out of my pocket and fortunately the issue was covered. A replacement gift card for the amount was completed and I got a Cricket Debut instead. Thank you.

    Squaretrade/Allstate is horrible. Yes, they can be good most of the time, however, sometimes they are just so dysfunctional it should be illegal what they do. I had to call in 5 times to get them to get me a refund check on an warranty I canceled after returning the item to Walmart. Each time they said..."Sorry" and the check would be processed and mailed out. Each time it was not. Each time the supervisor said, "It would be taken care of this time." Each time it was not. The company is sitting on millions of dollars from customers who never get their checks from refunds or paid out claims. They know this...and they don't care, because they get to keep that money. This should be illegal what they do...but they don't care and neither does the government.

    One morning, the iPad wouldn't turn on. It was a two-week process to get somebody to explain what they wanted. They needed a serial number which I could get if I open the iPad. They kept passing me off between SquareTrade and Allstate. I finally got a hold of a young lady named Cheryl and she was wonderful. She cancelled everything that had been happening, restarted the claim and put it all the way through. Cheryl was marvelous but this was the worst experience I've ever had.

    I was very pleased with the way Allstate handled my claim. They had to look for my information to find it so it took them a little while. The warranty was for a Vtech camera and I had a baby camera from years ago, which was a Vtech as well. I put in a claim for it because the same piece broke. The two of them were there, so it was a little confusing. But they were very patient. The rep was exceptionally good. It was loud and noisy in my house with the kids and the dogs and the birds, and he was calm and did what he needed to do to help me get my product replaced. I had the check within two days. It came quickly. People should get the Allstate protection plan. It was the best choice that I made and I was able to get a new one and not have to pay as much because of it.

    Purchasing the Allstate protection plan was straightforward. The rep explained quickly what it will cover and that it will be easy to get solved if something happens to the device in case I want to get the insurance. The controller stopped working so I had to contact Allstate to activate it. The rep explained that I had to scan a code and it would take me to a website where I have to file the claim, put all the information and then go through that. But I felt more comfortable talking to a human that could explain better because I didn't think I was gonna use it until maybe longer than I expected. I only had the device for three months and it caught me surprised. But I had access to the website and from there, it was easy, helpful and fast.

    Allstate ended up giving me a credit. But we're still working through that because the amount was not what I paid. They asked me for the receipt, which I don't have. They said that I have to get a new one with the credit that they gave me and when I find the difference, I have to contact them again to finalize it. I felt comfortable when they said that. I haven't found out how easy it's gonna be for them to complete that promise but I'm in the middle of it and it looks promising.

    I got all of my papers when I purchased the printer and I went online and submitted the claim to Allstate. After about a couple of weeks, there was no response. So, I called them and they had to put it through a review again. I waited a while and then, I called them back. I finally got ahold of a guy that was responsive to me and I told him my problem. I had to get a review again and I thought I had already been reviewed. It seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. But Allstate responded and gave me the original price of that printer that would not print in a Walmart gift card. So that’s resolved. But I'm very dissatisfied with the way that Allstate handled it. Even though we pay them upfront in good faith, they're making the customer work extra hard to get a warranty out of them. But I'm very happy with the Epson EcoTank printer. It’s excellent so I bought another one from Walmart. And I bought the same warranty.

    I did a claim for the the motor that fell off the electric blower. Allstate ended up having to refund the purchase price. It was an e-gift card. The plan was cheap when we bought the blower and we figured we would give it a try. It ended up working out for us so we will consider buying the protection plan in the future.

    I filed a claim with Allstate for a Ninja coffee maker. Initially, there was a little bit of confusion. I bought it at Walmart. You scan your receipt to the app and it keeps track of any protection plans you get. When I went to file the claim with Allstate, they said that they didn't have any record of me making that purchase. I had to go through the website to file a claim and have them look it up. I had marked on there that I had the receipt, so they asked me to send them a copy of it. I was able to send them a copy of the receipt from their Walmart app. Once they got that, they responded and said that they would give me a refund for the product. It was an easy process and allowed us to get a refund on our product quickly. I'm very satisfied.

I don't know if there's a way to do it, but it would be nice for the receipt to go from the Walmart app to the protection plan so I don't have to screenshot the receipt and then text it and go through all of that. That was a hassle. But other than that, the claims process at Allstate was fine. I filed it on Friday afternoon and, that Sunday morning, I had a credit in my email. It was really quick.

    Worst company I ever seen in my entire life. I paid for extra warranty with this company for my big screen TV - 2 years later I had a problem with the big screen tv so I called. I filed a claim for the TV to be fixed. They keep asking me for the receipts and paperwork over and over and over for 93 days. They closed my claim twice online. Every time I called they apologize and same thing happen again, and again, and again. Very dishonest people very unprofessional.

    Then finally was threatening the company to take company to the court. Finally nice person has some knowledge about the claim. He explain to me that I have a premium warranty with the Samsung manufacturing company so they took my money and they know I have a premium warranty. Bought it so my advice to everybody when you’re buy electronic online or in the stores make sure you are not buy extra warranty with this, companies, especially Allstate protection. I probably told my stories about to 700 people and I have a retail shop. I will make sure tell everybody I know not to buy warranty from this company.

However, when I submitted a claim, it was not as smooth because when I was calling Walmart, they were saying, “Reach out to Allstate Protection Plan.” When I was reaching out to Allstate Protection Plan, they were saying, “You have to file the claim online.

I had to talk to a rep once because they couldn't find something but otherwise, I've done it online and it's a simple process. Last month was a coffee maker I had bought from Walmart. They sent me a check. They said a week to 10 days but I got it two days later.

    I'm highly satisfied. Generally, they'll recommend you don't take out extended warranties for different things that you buy at the store. A lot of them give this great big warranty then the fine print says, "We'll pay for the postage to send it back to you, but you've gotta pay to send it back to us," which makes it not worth it, especially what it cost to send anything these days. But it's never been that way with Allstate. It's worth it. It's always been no deductible and no returning. If they do, they pay return shipping. One was my phone.

    I purchased an extended TV warranty through the Allstate protection plan. After a lengthy process, they sent a repair kit and TV repair man first, he deemed the TV unfixable, I waited 3 days for Allstate to contact me, then called them as I was growing impatient. After many back-and-forth phone calls, they offered to send me a television that was not as good as the television I recently purchased and cost $200 less than the TV I had bought 2 years ago. I refused their solution, and after a few more phone calls, they finally upheld their end of the deal and gave me a full refund for the purchase price of the television.

    Ultimately, I am happy that I purchased the plan as I now have a television that I am happy with. I would recommend the plan, but suggest that you don't settle for their initial offer if it is not the same quality of product you are needing replaced. You should also know that it took me a month of phone calls to get the matter settled, but everyone I spoke with were kind and did their best to help move the process along.

    The most disorganized, unfamiliar, unhelpful insurance company I’ve ever dealt with. And I’ve been dealing with them for over 40 years. This company, approved, repair or replacement of an item that was damaged, then another supervisor came through and undid the approval. Another came through, understood what happened, approved replacement or repair then another supervisor came through and disallowed the repair or replacement. I provided evidence of a non-cosmetic electrical issue that caused the damage to a television set. The company also lying to me about comments made by the repair tech in order to not approve the repair replacement. After 2 1/2 months and 17 conversations, I have reported them to the state insurance commissioner’s office in my state and I’m now providing this review per their request.

    SquareTrade does our best to provide expeditious and hassle-free service to all consumers. We also do our best to ensure our specialists are providing accurate and friendly service. For TV claims, there are many teams that work together in order to provide a resolution. However, the process starts with an evaluation of the issue with one of our technical experts, which takes place over the phone. Once the issue is determined, the availability of the resolutions we can provide is based on several factors, such as whether the problem can be repaired, the limit of liability, and so on. While issues or delays may occur during the process, our goal is to ensure our consumers receive efficient and effective resolutions in a timely manner. We are sorry this did not occur in this case.

They didn’t want the product so I disposed of it. They sent me a Walmart gift card in a short period of time, not much turnaround time.

    After buying a TV from Costco it went out after just 2 years and I was mad at the manufacturer for this and the issue was resolved by Allstate with very little effort. They had me perform some simple diagnostics and then did all the setup for me to get another TV from Costco delivered to the house. I could be happier about buying a TV or the ext. warranty. Thanks, Allstate.

    I purchased a tablet for my son on September of 2022. He cracked the screen by accident, and I filed a claim. The card I used to buy the tablet and the protection plan is not linked to my Walmart account. However, the protection plan for the tablet is on my Walmart account, but not the receipt. If under my Protection Plans, I have that specific device why do I need a receipt to file the claim? Obviously, I added the plan to my account and the plan is also showing on my Allstate Protection Plan list under the Current Plans! I paid for the insurance plan, and without a receipt I can't file a claim!? What a joke?! Do you think people are paying and adding plans on their accounts for fun? What a messy way to do business!?

After not hearing anything or having an email confirmation I called back 6 days later only to find out that after the initial call the agent did not send the follow up email stating my claim status and confirming that the replacement tv was acceptable. If I would not have called back I would still just be waiting and stuck in the process. Very poor follow up on my initial claim and was quite unsettling that my card is charged and have nothing to show for it.

I told him that was absolutely unacceptable when I paid $80 for their insurance so I wouldn't have to do that. He said, “Okay, no problem.
