The claim process was easy, and Square Trade was able to repair my laptop. Very satisfied with the service. I would highly recommend this service, and adding it to new your purchased items, it is worth the price, and you save yourself the hassle.

Never doubt the reliable service I receive from Squaretrade, whether it's getting an item repaired, or getting a refund, they are fair. I try to get a Squaretrade warranty on all of my valuable electronic items. I have never felt disappointed when filing a claim.

I have always found that if I deal with you honestly I am never disappointed with the outcome. That is saying something for a warranty company. I have almost everything electronic warrantied through you folks and as I have said, any time I have had to file a claim it has always been handled fairly and professionally. This time was no exception. Thank you for being such a great company. Get back on board with Amazon again. It would make getting my warranties so much easier. Thank you.

This was the BEST warranty that I have ever purchased. This is actually my 3rd claim since purchasing the warranty two years ago and there is still one year left. No hassle online claim, shipping all taken care of by Square trade, and EXCELLENT service. The repairs have ALWAYS been superb and quick to receive my laptop back. Never more than two weeks from start of claim to getting my merchandise back fixed and running. I would gladly purchase the warranty again and recommend them to anyone!!! Love this company!!

I purchased SquareTrade when I purchased my TV at Walmart. I submitted a claim when my TV had a line across the bottom, like five inches of it, and it blinks underneath that line. And so, I went and found my receipt that I had through Walmart 'cause they have an app where I scan it in. And that's how I got the information to file the claim, and then I called it in and followed the instructions from the person that I spoke to.
I would send some pictures on email so they could review it. And then they were gonna replace it with a TV, but the TV they wanted to replace it with was smaller and I didn't wanna downsize 'cause I purchased a 60-inch TV. I didn't wanna 55-inch TV. So then, they decided the only other way to help me was just to reimburse me my money. So, that's what they did. They reimbursed just the price of the TV, not the sales tax. There was a little bit of a delay in the response time as well. But it's the time of what's going on right now in the world. So, it's not that big of a deal.

I bought the extended warranty from SquareTrade though Staples and they explained it good enough. It worked out that time for me. I didn't think much of them most of my life and I never had a claim for anything but the girl talked me into it. I’m so glad I bought it because I had $200 chairs and they are badly shaped. They are only a year old but the vinyl is coming off of it. The piston for raising up and down doesn’t work anymore and I told them everything that’s wrong with it, and they said that I get a new one. Putting in a claim, the rep asked me if I wanted a check or a store credit. I said that I would take the store credit because I need a new chair. But I still haven't got my store card in the mail and it’s been a month, which is long for not giving me a card.

I just got SquareTrade one time, and it was for a controller. And it got broken, and then, they sent me a gift card. So, I buy them for all of my stuff now because it’s a good deal if anything happens to them. Recently, I got it for a Nintendo Switch Lite. Submitting a claim online was nice and easy. Getting the gift cards was also very fast. It was in a matter of an hour.

I tried filing a claim to get the crack in my phone screen repaired. The website was tedious and kept freezing. I made several attempts to file but I wasn't able to get any information unless I gave my card number which would be charged for a $50 deductible fee. I tried calling, no one answered. The online chat couldn't understand what I needed help with. I will no longer be using SquareTrade. The monthly payments I have made were pointless because I received no service.
Hello Jennifer,
We're very sorry for any issues encountered during the claim process.
SquareTrade offers various resolutions for each claim. Also, all mobile claims due have a standard deductible that is collected regardless of the issue or resolution selected.
We're very sorry if any inconvenience was caused by this, but we'd like to see how we can further assist you. A specialist will be reaching out to you shortly to get this resolved.

My replacement TV came with box damage, I stop at the shipment at the door, took pictures, and ask the delivery guy to memo in delivery note, date and sign his name. I called SquareTrade customer service to ask if he want me to open the box. He said I can and take pictures if tv is damage. I did follow his information by took several pictures of TV damage and email back on the same day.
Two days later, I received an email said that I have to waits 7 - 10 business days for the vendor call to schedule for pickup then they send another replacement after vendor pickup the TV. I disagree with that because it not my fault to damage the TV. I been waited for 8 days and nobody call or email to schedule pickup TV. I called to ask the Manager when the TV pickup and she said is nothing that she can do. I have to wait for pickup. I express my concerns the TV damage is not my fault. Why I have to waits and my claim is over a month. She said is nothing that she can do again.
So, this company is not protect the customer good as they name their business SquareTRADE Protection. After replacement, their job is done. We have to pray for the replacement come in good condition. If not, just wait for vendor because nothing that customer service can do to helps. Ask customer to wait when it's not their fault is unacceptable and SquareTrade need to works in this problem to improve customer satisfaction. It's hurt to feel under the bus. Phillip
Hello Phillip,
We apologize for any inconvenience faced during your recent claim.
SquareTrade does our best to provide prompt and hassle-free service to our customers. We also do our best to give updates on every step to ensure a positive customer experience.
For TV claims, many teams work together to carry out the provided resolution. The television is ordered from a vendor and set up for delivery. These are delivered by ground, and the standard delivery time is 7-10 business days due to the fragile device being transported.
Its possible issues may occur during the process, but what we want to avoid is affecting our customers like you in any negative way. We are currently working with our vendors to get return tracking information to provide.
Once again, we apologize for any delays experienced.

We apologize for any frustration you experienced with this claim.
After reviewing the account we can verify your recent claim was denied due to the product being within the manufacturer warranty period.

My husband bought a laptop from Walmart and got the 2 year Square Trade protection plan. A year and a half into it, the laptop got knocked over and the screen got very damaged. The hinges wouldn't even work to close the laptop, it was bad. I contacted HP to try and go through them first, but they were going to charge us a lot even though the manufacturer warranty was still active. We chose to wait.
Now that our manufacturer warranty is no longer active, I started a claim with Square Trade. They sent me a box with packing and a shipping label, I sent in the laptop and within a day and a half of them receiving it, I got an email saying it was repaired and being mailed back to me. We received it today, and it's beautiful. Not only did they replace the screen, but they also checked the fans, the USB and HDMI ports, and many other things and they sent a checklist to show what all they did to make sure it's in great condition. Best of all, it was FREE and took about a week total (including shipping time!!). I am very pleased, very impressed, and would say it's totally worth it to buy the protection plan!!

I did the claim online and they responded relatively quickly. I had to send in my laptop and then after about a month, they told me that they weren’t able to fix it and I was able to get my refund to purchase a new computer. With the warranty, it's very easy and cheap to get items fixed.

We are still working on my claim and it's been ongoing since February. They had to go back and get the other piece that would run over the AirPod so we could send it in. Once we sent it in, I had to pay for shipping for some unknown reason and it was about $12 and I did it thru UPS instead of FedEx. They called and told me that that was not where it goes, and that to send it through FedEx with free shipping label, which I finally got a shipping label just the other day. Now I'm waiting for it to come back from San Francisco, California. So I'm tracking it still. The process is a little difficult. I had to be put through several times because we got disconnected. I could barely hear them, but they wanted to call me back because I left my number. Other than that, it went all right so far.

I reluctantly sent my phone in for repair after going around in circles with an agent. Fist, I had to pay a $150 deductible prior to the agent even starting my claim. Then, I was guaranteed my phone would be repaired, replaced or reimbursed by a specific date. That day has come and passed. The agents on the phone keep telling me to wait for emails that never arrive. I'm told to give it 1-3 more business days but the agent still cannot tell me what my resolution will be. It appears my device was "beyond economical repair" and was sent to a 3rd party for recycling... So not only do I not have replacement or reimbursement yet, but they have already given my device away as opposed to sending my property back to me. I'm beyond furious and disgusted with this process, service level, and value for what I've paid out. I will be cancelling ALL of my Square-Trade plans once this one is closed.
We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.
SquareTrade uses certified technicians to complete all repairs, and we ensure to perform an extensive diagnostic test to confirm functionality before returning the equipment to the customer. For Mail-In repairs, we guarantee a 2-5 business day repair from the day your device is received.

I called in to exchange a defective product. A 50 inch RCA TV. Any other company I've dealt with, simply exchanges the defective product. But this company gave me the runaround.

Hello Ronald,
We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the repair resolution.
Although SquareTrade does reserve the right to determine the best-suited resolution for the claim, we do keep the consumer in mind when doing so. We believe that repair allows the consumer to continue utilizing the device they have grown accustomed to. Not only do our repair resolutions provide the convenience of keeping your item, but most repairs are completed within five business days of receiving the item. That is why our repairs are often the quickest and most preferred resolution.
After reviewing your account, we understand that a mail-in repair resolution may not be ideal for the size of your device. We have already contacted you to provide additional assistance with completing your claim.
We look forward to resolving your concerns.
Thank you,TG

I have purchased so many Square Trade plans over the years and never used them. My computer and tablet both acted up at the same time.

I am beyond disappointed. I have a tv that keeps malfunctioning while we are being quarantined. In October 2019 I called Square Trade because my tv kept flickering on and off. The tech person had me show him what was going on on my phone. The only way I was able to get the tv to stop flickering was to put the tv on game mode. This mode is way too dark to watch all the time. When I told him it was not a permanent fix, I was asked to send pictures. I did that! Months passed and I didn't here anything. By this point the tv malfunctioned even on that mode. The tv would shut off and restart on its own.
I kept trying to call last month and I couldn't get through to anyone. I would be on hold and it would hang up. I finally decided to file another claim although the issues stemmed from the original one. I finally get through only for them to tell me that the warranty expired last month. Even though they admitted having issues at the call center.
Adding insult to injury, after doing research, I realized that the issue is a burnt out led light. The tech should have caught that in October when I called. Additional pictures and video shouldn't have been required since he saw the video on my phone that day and gave me the bogus fix of viewing it on my phone. I will be contacting my local consumer affairs department. The technician misdiagnosed the issue on my TV. Too many hoops for hardworking people to go through to get what was promised when we made our purchases.
Hi Elizabeth,
We apologize you were unhappy with your recent claims experience.
Our goal is to make sure that all claims are processed in a timely manner and that it is an easy process for our customers.
After reviewing the pictures of the unit, it was determined that the item has Burn-in, which is not covered under our protection plan. For this reason, we were unable to complete the claim for your device.
To provide more insight into what we do not cover, we have resent a copy of your protection plan to the email address that is on file.
We hope we have been able to bring clarity to your current circumstances.

Initial claim experience was horrible. First they kept rejecting my proof of purchase, telling me they needed an "Order Confirmation". The document that I was sending them clearly said "Order Confirmation" at the top. They couldn't understand. Finally was able to work through that issue. The second issue was that the only course of action was for me to have my dehumidfier repaired and let them reimburse me for the repairs. That was absurd. These units are sealed units and basically cannot be repaired, at least for a reasonable amount.
I wrote a review that someone at ST read and called me. That agent was finally able to resolve the issue and agreed that the unit was non-repairable. He arranged to reimburse me my purchase price. So, finally, in the end, it all worked out. But not without a lot of heartburn. Be aware you may have to take matters to the next level to get satisfaction. As they did make good on the policy, I may try them again for the new machine.
Hello Jerry,
We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with our service.
Our goal at SquareTrade is to provide our consumers with the most appropriate resolutions for their current circumstances. Based on the issues present, we determine whether an item is reasonably repairable. Because local repair resolutions allow our consumers to keep their familiar devices and eliminates the need to ship bulky packages out, it is our go-to resolution for claims such as yours. In the event an item is irreparable or has an abnormal repair period, we are happy to work with the consumer in finding a better resolution.
SquareTrade's local repair resolutions cover all expenses related to the repair up to the protection plan's limit of liability. If a repair is estimated to exceed the limit of liability, we will provide reimbursement for any diagnostic fees and proceed to the next best resolution. If you have any concerns regarding what you will be reimbursed for, you can always ask our friendly support specialists or refer to your protection plan agreement.
We are aware of the frustration you had regarding this matter, so we are happy that we were able to reach out to you and provide you solution to this concern.
We hope we have improved your experience.

I bought 2 new OnTel swivel sweepers on eBay last July. I gave one to my sister, and she started using hers right away. It works fine. However, mine was bought because my old swivel sweeper was about to bite the dust. I just put mine to use recently, and all it does is spit the dust and cat litter right out the back. I don't know what's going on. I have used these sweepers for probably 10 years and have never had this problem.
I realized it has been well past the time I could return it to the eBay seller but remembered that I had bought the extended warranty from SquareTrade. I tried to file a claim, but the representative told me that since the sweeper never did work correctly that the extended warranty does not apply and offered to refund a portion of my warranty cost which was not acceptable at all. How can what she said possibly be true? The warranty policy even says you can file a claim three days after the policy is in effect. Help me understand this.

I purchased this policy out of response to a good sales person at Office Depot. Not reading the details. I’m a retired automotive service manager and I know better. Your paperwork says it’s a two year warranty when in all honesty, it’s only a one year warranty because the first year is covered by the manufacturer. Luckily, this claim came just before the end of the the coverage. My biggest problem is that my circumstances were not considered when the final decision was made on my claim. And I had already done things to make the claim easy on SquareTrade due to these pandemic times.
I was reimbursed for my original purchase around a week after filing a request for repairs. I was unable to convince the claims rep to send me the part and allow me to make the repairs. Understanding that isn’t a normal way, but neither are these times. The rep did not want to ship me a replacement or have mine shipped to you, due to the expense involved. So I got a check a week later, and I just got my replacement printer installed today, April 19, 2020. My business has been without the necessary use of a printer for close to 5 weeks. But I did purchase another HP product. And another SquareTrade warranty.
I’m just not feeling all warm and fuzzy about it. I’ve spent money for everything I’ve received. I’ve been tolerant. I’ve been patient. But none of this brought me any satisfaction. I feel the rep or his manager could have offered me something against my next purchase. Something to save my valued business and to offset the many weeks and my falling behind on my own work. Instead, he heard my request. He just didn’t listen.
We apologize for any inconvenience faced during your recent claim.

I purchased a Crossly CD/Radio/Alarm from Amazon with a warranty from SquareTrade.com. The clock ran fast. I put in a claim. They said they fixed it. They did not. It took about three months to show that it was still running fast. I called and they said the warranty was "completed" which means they spent as much money as the item cost attempting to fix it so the warranty is no longer good even though there was two more years on the warranty. After arguing with them online and being transferred to a supervisor, with more arguing, they finally offered to send me a check for the cost of the item. I should not have had to go through that. Their warranty only covers one attempt and they do not guarantee their work.
We apologize for any frustration caused by your recent claim.
The limit we cover throughout the life of your plan is the purchase price of your item. We'll refer you to the manufacturer in the first year to help preserve the value of your warranty with us, and we'll cover you for shipping to the manufacturer which doesn't deduct the value of your coverage. In the event your manufacturer is unable to step in the first year, we will, which is why our protection plans run concurrently.
SquareTrade uses certified technicians to complete all repairs, and we ensure to perform an extensive diagnostic test to confirm functionality before returning the equipment to the customer. We also provide a rework period following each mail-in repair as a guarantee on the work done for any failures that occur after the claim is completed.
An exception was made to ensure the customer was provided with a satisfactory resolution.

I called Squaretrade, I was put on hold for so many times, telling me to hold for a few minutes like every 10 minutes. It took me 1 hour on the phone on and off hold. I work as a nurse during the height of the Covid pandemic and told them I need my phone if my work needs to call me back to work. And I only have the iPhone I have now that has home button broken. They would still want me to send them the phone that would leave me without a phone for at least 3 days.

iPhone X was not working after being dropped - took it locally to a SquareTrade endorsed company, but they were not able to fix. On April 7th, I was instructed to mail in the phone via FedEx and was told the entire process should take 3 days. I carefully followed the shipping instructions sent via email with the mailing label. As deliveries had already been picked up for the day, the phone was sent on 4/8 and received 4/9. On April 10th, the status of the claim online changed to "BER." Beyond Repair, perhaps? New phone received on 4/13. Much to my surprise and frustration, the phone arrived without a SIM card.
I placed a call to SquareTrade today, 4/13, and was told the claims agent I spoke with on 4/7 should have told me to take the SIM card out before mailing. I was never instructed to remove the SIM card. Furthermore, if you are going to email step-by-step instructions for mailing in the phone, why would you not include such a critical piece of information? The agent today told me my request for a SIM card has been "expedited" and I should expect to hear from an agent within "24 hours." What constitutes expedited? I am now six days into this process with no resolution.
We apologize for any issues experienced with your claim.
When a claim is approved for repair, SquareTrade sends a claim approval email to customers advising not to send in accessories with their device. In the event, their device can not be repaired, the claim will be moved to an alternate resolution, and accessories may not be returned.
Reviewing your account, we have offered to reimburse the cost of a SIM card to ensure you have a fully functional replacement device. Once again, we apologize and hope we were able to turn your experience around.

Hello Jeremy,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction or confusion you have experienced with your claim.
When we offer the consumer a local repair resolution, the consumer is approved to have their device fixed by a repair shop within their surrounding area. Once an item has been restored, we ask our consumers to provide us with a copy of the invoice so that we can reimburse for the fees accrued. In your case, we did not receive an invoice to process a payment.
Since claims have a limit of 90 days of inactivity before they are closed, we require a new claim once the limit is reached. In your case, your protection plan expired before you had the opportunity to file a new claim. We cannot move forward with a resolution if a protection plan is no longer active.
We understand this has caused you frustration, but we are happy we were able to contact you and reach an agreement that improved your experience.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

Hello Aidilene,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction you have experienced with your claim.
Although we do recommend our consumers file their claims online as it is the most efficient way to complete a claim, we are happy to assist over the phone where necessary. We provide all our specialists with extensive training and coaching to make sure all of our consumers receive a pleasant and friendly claim experience, and we are sorry if this has not been your experience.
There are times where we are unable to repair or replace devices. During these times, we provide a reimbursement resolution as an alternative. Often we may request that the consumer return the damaged device by mailing the item to us or by signing and submitting documentation. After we receive the unit, we then issue the reimbursement. We have found that this process can be difficult or time-consuming for our consumers, and often is less preferred. To improve the consumer experience, we provide a fast cash resolution that allows the consumer to receive a prorated reimbursement in exchange for a quicker and smoother process. However, a payment that is less than 80 percent of the purchase value of your item is not standard practice, and we will research this further.
We understand that your experience has been less than stellar, so we have already reached out to provide you additional support.
We look forward to improving your experience.

As a regular part of the reimbursement, we send an affidavit to the consumer to fill out and submit before we begin processing a payment. If there are any delays with receiving and verifying the affidavit, a check will not be processed until the issue is rectified.
We do understand the frustration that you have felt, that is why we are happy we were able to speak with you and offer an update on your claim status and to provide you dedicated assistance in seeing your claim through.
We appreciate the opportunity to help.

I thought the hoverboard was warrantied through the store, but I was informed by the lady that the insurance was through SquareTrade and I was told to submit a claim to them. But I didn't know how long this claim was gonna take, so I ended up buying another overboard. I didn’t want another product that I would have to deal with and mail it back-and-forth. So, SquareTrade just ended up giving me partial credit for the amount of time I used it. The agent who handled my particular claim knew everything. She didn’t have to boss around too much and get me the finances and stuff like that. It was just one phone call and I was surprised by how quickly everything went.

Hello Tiasha,
We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your experience.
Our goal is to provide our consumers with efficient and effective resolutions. We do our best to make the consumer's experience as hassle-free as possible. However, there are necessary actions consumers must take to help us move their claims forward, such as submitting a receipt of purchase in this case. We require receipts to verify essential details that affect the protection plan, such as the item's price, date of purchase, and serial/IMEI numbers when applicable. Consumers are free to submit their receipts at any point before a claim, and we always recommend uploading them within a week of purchasing the item.
While we do not play a part in your item's manufacturing, we believe consumers deserve the peace of mind and reassurance that their devices are taken care of in the event an issue arises. That is why we make our extended warranty protection plans available to a wide variety of items.
We apologize if your experience with us has been anything less than stellar, but we hope we have provided you insight and clarity into this matter.
Thank you,TG

I’m a long-time shopper at Costco and Costco offered SquareTrade as a benefit to us. It’s a reasonable price to protect such a large investment such as our Samsung 65-inch flat screen TV. The TV itself was about either five or six years old, and for some reason, the colors weren’t coming through as clearly and as sharply as they should. After doing some troubleshooting and research, I realized that the TV was still under warranty. I called SquareTrade, did some troubleshooting and just followed their guidance.
The claims process was super painless. I like that it's very easy to file, initiate, and submit supporting proofs or pictures. The online platform keeps me as a consumer updated with every step of the way so I don’t have to be glued to a computer or phone and get notified of updates. That was extremely important to me. The issue was with the display and some with the LCD panel supporting the display. The cost to replace that was much higher than getting a new TV. SquareTrade ended up spending a couple hundred dollars on the TV itself. Although I got a model that’s three years old, still, it’s working and does the job. So, the replacement of the TV was much more cost-effective for them. SquareTrade is second to none with the ease of handling, professional processing, and convenience. I’ve been using it for multiple years. I thank them and their team for all the work they do to allow us as consumers to make good decisions.

We have all kinds protection plans from SquareTrade because we're a business. We always buy a lot of things - the computers, printers - so we always try to protect everything. My HP printer was spreading the color. It won't give me a clear result and it gets lines every time. At first, I went to Office Depot because I lost my receipt. I got my warranty uploaded but I didn't submit my receipt at the time. And then, I went to Office Depot and they said, "We cannot pull out. That's a year old." So then, we called my accountant because we have a business and had all the data on the file. So, I just pulled up all the files about the date and everything, then I saw it.
SquareTrade tried to help me out to fix it but they could not. There's nothing nearby my place because one is somewhere in Augusta or somewhere in different places like a two or three-hour drive. And then the rep said, "Okay, let me try something else." He put me on hold and then he said, "Okay, let me see what I can do." And then he just put me and say, "Okay, you can just replace it because we won't be able to help you out somehow."
I got not the full amount because I went with the amount and I lost it because I used their amount. It's not much but still, I had to put some from my pocket when I bought another one. It's good because they change something on the printer every other two years. If you're losing $200, it's not bad because still, you got 200 more in a new one. It's a give and take. The new one is a better, different version, and you a lot of upgrade things - it's easy, emails directly from the scanning and everything.

Hello Danielle,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction you have regarding your claim.
We at SquareTrade stand by our repairs. When the repair facility receives a device, an audit of the damages/issues takes place. During this audit, the tech tests for any irregularities. They also test the electrical components to see if they can isolate a failed part. A repair takes place once the issue is found, and an additional audit is done to verify functionality. Because we understand that there are specific issues that may not show up during the audit, we provide our consumers with a limited repair service guarantee that allows the customer to resend their item at no cost to them nor the warranty.
To make sure your claim meets a satisfactory resolution, one of our specialists has reached out to you to provide additional assistance if necessary.
We look forward to a successful resolution to your claim.

I’ve been doing business with Staples for many, many years. I bought a bunch of stuff for more than a decade. The manager would make me buy warranties on everything I bought and I would do it. I have over thousands of warranties that I had purchased because of this one manager. No problem. Years after, we started having issues with some of the stuff. I looked into the warranty, got my account number, and started filing. Then it came back that I needed to provide them with receipts of purchase. But this is going back years. The manager is not there anymore and everyone has changed.
I went back to all the stores. They don’t have receipts or they can’t find it. Some of it was online. The manager would just come in because it was bulk order, so I would go into the store, I would pay for it at the store, but he would do an online order at the location. So long story short, I don’t have the receipts for everything that I bought from years of me purchasing and we went back and forth, where they said, “Provide us proof and fill out this form, and on the form is receipt number.”. I filled it out that I don’t have it, and it never went anywhere. Until recently, we came across some of the receipts.
My assistant started filing and it eventually started working. But in the course of the last two years, I lost hundreds, hundreds of warranties that expired. It’s under my account and you could see it. If I log into SquareTrade, you could see pages and pages and pages of stuff that’s there. But for me to claim anything, I need to have the receipt, which is on my account. It was stupid that I had to show them proof of purchase again from moons ago because it’s already in my account. All information is right there in front of you.

The claim process was super easy and very user-friendly, which is good for people who aren’t on a computer a lot. And they were super quick with emails and notifications.
They gave me three different options to choose from. And it was pretty much whatever would benefit your lifestyle, which was really neat. There was a way where you could submit it back in, and then SquareTrade would find something similar in price and in function. It would take up to five days for them to do that. You can also go somewhere local, have it fixed and then reimbursed by SquareTrade. The final option is a check for a smaller amount than you purchased the time for, that way, you could purchase whichever one you wanted. We did that because my mom wanted to make sure that she got the same purple one. She was worried that if she submitted it, SquareTrade wouldn’t send her the right color. We were able to replace it with the one we wanted without having to change anything, which was nice. Moving forward, I'd always add Square if given the option.

The SquareTrade warranty does not cover issues caused by negligence. Rust would be considered a cosmetic issue caused due to negligence. Items that are kept outside should be stored according to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure there are no cosmetic damages.
Although we do our best work with all customers, in some instances, we may be limited. As for this case, the cosmetic issue was caused by negligence, therefore, we were not able to process a claim.

Because when I buy a $3000 TV you better believe I am going to mistreat it. The tv would turn off and on on its own. I didn’t think that was worth filing a claim for so I never did. Then, I discovered there was a discolored spot on the tv. So I fills the claim. I told them about both issues and that I was more concerned about the discoloring. They said that the discoloration was due to improper use and that voided the warranty- including the TV turning on and off.
When I asked whether the TV turning off and on could have affected my ability to “properly” operate the TV, they dismissed it and said because it had one issue it cancelled out the other. When I asked about the TV turning on its own and thereby causing the burn in, the rep flat out told me that I was not telling the truth and that I would have filed a claim sooner if that were the case. At that point I requested a manager call back and have yet to get such a resolution. I am letting everyone I can know not to use this disreputable company.

I sent the shipping label to my son but he has not sent the turntable in yet.

My Thermostat suddenly stopped working and showed a blank screen. I went online and filed a claim for the product. I received an email saying they would send me a reimbursement for the product. I declined the reimbursement because I would lose money on the entire transaction and requested a replacement item. The company emailed me shortly after and said they cannot find a replacement item and would pay the lower amount. I went online and found the same exact item at Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Amazon and wrote the company regarding this. They asked me to call and basically tried to strong arm me in taking the reimbursement cost. I again declined. I will never do business with this company again. They are fraudulent and try to rip off the consumer as much as possible.

We apologize for any issues experienced attempting to process a claim on your device.
Squaretrade requires a proof of purchase for almost all warranties we have on file, as we need to confirm the item price and be sure our warranty coverage corresponds with your product. Once we have verified the item price and purchase details, we can begin gathering information about the issue with the device to process a claim.
While processing a claim on a customer's device, SquareTrade always confirms the item was fully functional when purchased. Issues from the time of purchase would be considered preexisting and not covered under warranty.
We understand you experienced difficulty with the receipt for this product, as well as with the communication with some of our specialists. We will review the warranty and reach out to you shortly.

I’m kind of a warranty freak and I like to insure everything. Having a warranty is very valuable. Costco offered a protection plan and it was the SquareTrade. I have had the product with my other devices. We have a number of items insured like the laptop. When the hinge broke and the laptop wouldn’t close, I made a claim for it. I started the claim online. But because I have so many devices insured with SquareTrade, I had to call them so they could send the right one. The process was super easy and quick. They sent a box and everything went really nicely. I sent the laptop to them and they returned it within a week. It's been fine since then.

If you plan to buy something on sale they will not fix it or replace it. They will give you back your money. Which if I had paid full price would have been fine. I personally just wanted my item to be fixed.
Hello Edmarie,
We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with our service.
We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our consumer's investments up to the amount the consumer has spent on the item. The availability of your resolutions is base on several factors, such as the cost of repair versus the purchase amount of the device, the availability of repair facilities for this device, whether we can source a comparable item within the limit of liability, and so on. If we cannot find a resolution we believe is satisfactory for the consumer, we will opt to reimburse the consumer for their item investment fully.
We hope we have been able to clarify our decision in this matter.
Thank you,TG

My original dad purchased a phone for my Christmas present. It was only a $39 phone and I didn’t think SquareTrade had a warranty for $39 phones. But apparently, they do because I went and got a phone quicker than I thought I would. I started submitting a claim online and it said that I needed a receipt. I didn’t know where the receipt was and I called them. I was saying that my mom deleted it, not knowing it was coming under her email. I was surprised because they told me to send the phone in and that as soon as they'd get the phone, they would send the warranty card. So I put the thing on Friday and when they picked it up on Saturday from Walmart in Flushing, they issued the card the same day. For a warranty for small stuff, SquareTrade is really precise.
I wanna get a better phone, so I’m taking the card that SquareTrade has sent me and getting a better phone. I would advise people to get a warranty through them because they are really good and responsive. I'm extremely satisfied with them. It was a $20 deductible. I asked why they were having me pay the $20 deductible and they said that it was a $39 phone and it would cost me nothing to replace it. They were very informative and very polite.

Claim # **. I was NOT honored the warranty because of too much damage. The warranty does not state that it will not cover if an item has too much damage. I was told to send a picture of the box. I did, but the warranty does not state you need to keep the box the item came in for 2 or 3 years, but I did have the box! Three weeks later SquareTrade tells me to send them pictures of the phone. I had thrown it in a trash bin, after it was ran over, so I dug it out of the trash bin and took the pictures. Then I was told it had excessive damage and the warranty is no longer good. After many, many days it laid in the trash bin cuz he told me not to send it in to SquareTrade. Thanks for nothing, I have been purchasing these warranties for years but I will not any longer nor will I recommend them to anyone. The warranty procedures need to state ALL of Square Trade's requirements. Kimberly **
We apologize for any inconvenience processing your 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 & Condition state that the presence of negligence or intentional damage is not covered under warranty. When the pictures were submitted, we determined the damage due to intentional damage.
After reviewing the account, we have moved forward by providing a satisfactory resolution for the customer. We thank the customer for taking the time to speak with us and allowing us to turn the experience around.

We got the plan for our Duo Keurig coffee maker. It’s kind of an expensive item and we felt it would be worth having a little protection. Our Keurig has one side that has a coffee pot and one side that has the little Keurig cup and single-serve. On the coffee pot side, the filter container that slides in and out in the front was stuck. We could never open it. We couldn’t get it out. Also, it quit filling up the entire pot of coffee. It would only put a little bit in and then stop. It was fairly new. We cleaned it and we called the company. We did everything we possibly could.
I packed it all up and took it back to Walmart. They told me it’s been more than 30 days, but it was barely more than 30 days. They said I have to call SquareTrade and that I have a protection plan in there. So I brought it back home and called SquareTrade. They told me that I have to take it to Walmart. But I already did that and then they directed me to the Keurig company. I talked to the Keurig company and they resolved it. They offered us a upgraded coffee maker and it’s fabulous. I sent back the original coffeemaker to them in the packaging that they sent me the new one in. It’s been fine ever since. But I had to do a lot of work and there seems to be a lack of communication between the entities.

Hello Kimberly,
We are sorry to hear about your recent claim experience.
SquareTrade's 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 you during their warranty period. SquareTrade will refer consumers to the manufacturer while this period is still active.
After reviewing your case, we have found that your manufacturer has presented several resolutions to accommodate this concern. Whenever the manufacturer is willing to assist, the consumer must rely on the solutions provided by the manufacturer.
We hope we have provided you clarity and insight into our policies and decision making. We appreciate the opportunity to extend feedback to you on this matter.

I ordered a pair of Bose headphones a little over a year ago and 6 months in I had an issue where the headset was producing very poor sound quality. I tried to make use of the warranty I purchased along with the headset and after I filed the claim the issue seemed to go away. Fast forward to about a week ago and the same poor sound quality issue occurred. I called the support line and they were very helpful and referred me to a store down the street I could go and someone would take a look at it and possibly repair it. I took it down there and in the same day the gentlemen mentioned that these headphones were broken and needed to be replaced entirely. So I called SquareTrade again and they told me to ship the headphones in so they could take a look. After they received them it was determined the issue could not be reproduced so they would send the headphones back to me.
I called and it was stated to me time and time again "We have not found an issue with theses headphones so we are sending them back". Not allowing me any input in the process after I exclaimed the issue only happens sporadically and was not necessarily going to happen all the time. Not to mention wasting hours of my time driving, packaging the headphones, being on the phone with the warranty customer service representatives. Do I just submit the headphones for a third time again when the inevitable happens? Waste more time doing all the same things over again? Now I am sitting here stuck with a fundamentally broken pair of headphones with a warranty on them and the irony is that I can do nothing to finally amend this problem but buy a new pair of headphones. Certainly not with the warranty this time.
Hello Michael,
We apologize for any frustration surrounding your claim.
When the repair facility receives a device, an audit of the damages/issues takes place. During this audit, the tech tests for any irregularities. They also test the electrical components to see if they can isolate a failed part. If the tech cannot replicate the issue or finds no additional failures, the item will be shipped back due to no problems found. Often when a device has intermittent issues, the problem can be sourced to the environmental conditions that are introduced. We recommend the consumer evaluate the circumstances present when the item is behaving abnormally to locate the cause.
If a local repair shop has experienced and deemed the problem as unrepairable, we ask our consumer to supply the diagnostic report so that we may move to a more appropriate resolution. Doing so will avoid the item being audited until the issue surfaces.
We understand the frustration that can come from repeating a process in hopes that your issue surfaces, so we are happy that we were able to reach you and present a resolution that works best for your situation. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concern, and we hope we have improved your experience with this endeavor.

Hello Rico,
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing trouble with your claim.
We do our best to provide consumers with efficient and lasting resolutions, but we are aware that there are sometimes complications that can extend a claim, such as in your situation. Often reimbursement complications stem from issues with the mailing address on file. Whenever a check cannot be received, we recommend utilizing a different address such as a relative's or workplace as an alternative.
