    When I purchased AirPods from Walmart, they told me I can get it covered through Allstate. That was pretty valuable. Whenever I tried to connect the AirPods to my phone, I wouldn't hear anything. Sometimes they would connect then they would disconnect at the blue light. I submitted a claim to Allstate and the process was very quick and easy. I did the claim through the Walmart app on my phone. I took a picture of the receipt and saved it on the app. They have a link on there to where it takes me over to Allstate. They sent me a return label and I shipped the old pair of AirPods off. I didn't pay for shipping. Allstate sent me a gift card for Walmart to replace the AirPods.

    I bought a booster pump back in 2018 for my home to help the water pressure. It failed during the warranty time, and I got on the phone and started making the calls. But during that time, I had also purchased another pump with another warranty so I could get the pump back up and running. After working with Allstate, they got it all worked out. They offered me a few options. I followed the guidelines and asked what they wanted me to do. But they weren't able to fix it. So, they had me send it back and then, they reimbursed me for it. It took a while to get to where we were at because I had talked to a number of people and I still had to do the things that they had asked me to do. But everything was reasonable, followed up and followed through with.

    I previously worked with the TV manufacturer a few times when it was under the old warranty. They’ve sent me multiple replacements, but each one had had problems. Once that warranty ran out, I first went to Costco’s concierge ‘cause I wasn't sure what the next step was. They told me to talk to Allstate and the process was really easy and worthwhile. It was handled very well. I wasn't expecting them to be as responsive and fast with their questions and answers as they were. I'm looking forward to buying my next TV at Costco and getting that plan as well.

    I had an issue with a set of headphones that I still had a warranty so I called Allstate to make the claim because I didn't have access to the email anymore. The gentleman was very nice and understanding. He kept me on hold for a few minutes but when he got my call back, he had solved everything and had set up for me to receive a refund for the item. I got a check for it on the mail. The process with Allstate was good. It was straightforward and it was a great service on the gentleman’s part as well. This is not a big item that I had, which was a set of headphones. But knowing that the response to something small is that good, I will buy the warranty again for maybe large items because I do have some large items under the insurance as well.

    I had a power surge that damaged my HiSense 65' TV., I contacted AllState Protection to file my claim and to my dismay I encountered the most robotic insensitive rep I've ever experience. After not only explaining the reason for the power surge and the fact that my profession deals with repair of electronics and residential voltage, the rep still wanted to read from a script and tell me that my claim would still be denied and as a consultation-would refund my warranty cost. That to me made no sense as per the extended warranty and the factory warranty electrical components ARE a feature that is a coverable under said warranty. By far the absolute worse claims experience I have encountered and I plan to not only tell every customer I speak with that owns this product & deals with this company for ANYHING, I plan on letting my corporation know so that they will not invest anything into either.

    My brand-new Nintendo Switch is not turning on. They sent me a shipping label that I couldn't open. I tried to click the link they sent and it went nowhere. It didn't even open and looked like it was sent as a picture versus a clickable link. And so I reached out and asked for another one. They told me, "Try it from another browser." They told me to try to reset my cookies too, and I did all of that. Then, I ended up going through an entire back procedure for the last couple of months and the claim had to go on the back burner.

    I bought a treadmill and had insured with Allstate. When my daughter and I start putting it together, the treadmill was missing parts. I reached out to the company via email and told them about that. They said they were gonna send a part and it's going to be four to seven days. It took longer but I still was patient. When I got the part, I was still missing some parts. I reached back out and they wanted me to wait for another 6 to 8 days. I bought this treadmill to use and not to sit up and wait for parts. In the end, I returned the treadmill. I also didn't have an instruction manual. They were telling me I had to look on my phone to try to put the treadmill together. That really frustrated me. Overall, I don’t have a problem with Allstate. My problem was with Costway because they were the ones liable for those missing parts.

    I called in a claim to Allstate for my computer and it was wrapped up fairly quickly. Being a person who's done a lot of work on computers, I had already tried a lot of their troubleshooting tactics. They took the computer that hasn't worked since I got it and sent it back a week later. They did a very good job and I was very pleased. They changed the hard drive and a fan. The computer worked great for about a month. Unfortunately, I have to call Allstate again because my computer is right back doing the same thing it was doing before. Sometimes it takes half an hour to an hour for it to boot up and sometimes it reloads Windows. Other than that, I had a great experience. Allstate has always stood up for the product and I recommend them. Many years ago, they replaced one of my computers.

    The light burnt out on the TV and I only had it for less than two years. When I called Vizio, I was up, which was when I called Allstate. They told me to call them first and see if I have the protection, which I didn’t, and Allstate said they could help me. The claims process was quick and understandable. I did it through their online chat, and the person was helpful. I didn't know if I was gonna go back to Walmart with Black Friday sales coming so I took a check. Then, I bought a TV on Black Friday. I've worked with Allstate before in a claim. I bought a hoverboard last Christmas for my daughter and she rode it in the basement, and it broke within a couple of months of having it. I tried to call the hoverboard number but they never answered, and I got ahold of Allstate over the phone. The guy said they would cover me. They gave me a little gift card through Walmart, and I went online and used it as a new purchase at Walmart for another one.

    People should get their protection plan from Allstate. I've had many different protection plans throughout different companies and they have to be the easiest to go through. I appreciate that they don't even ask for the items back. I took pictures and uploaded it. It was a little bit of a process because I had to email pictures in and they asked to get a different side view. But they had very quick responses on the emails, which was within a day.

    A part of the headset cracked and it wasn’t a piece that was replaceable. You had to replace the whole thing. It was close to where the ear pad thing is. We didn't drop it. It was from taking it off and on, and it finally gave way. I went to the Allstate site, put in the claim and filled out their form. After that, it was all done through emails. They asked a bunch of questions, but it wasn't anything out of line. The process wasn’t difficult. I sent pictures and gave information from the actual manufacturer website about the part isn't replaceable, and Allstate did a review, and let me know that they're gonna honor the claim. It wasn't anything that I wouldn't expect.

    Allstate gave a gift card and we bought another headset. The protection plan is very valuable that we even have protection on our cellphones with it. It’s a good thing to buy. The claims are easy to process if you ever need it. Plus, it's not that expensive. The cost of the actual insurance is cheap, which is five bucks for a headset.

    I forgot I carried my Allstate policy for my GPS Mini until I got up with Garmin. Garmin told us that it's our issue, that it wasn't part of the device, that they can't do anything about it, and that batteries in it cannot be replaced. I did some seeking and discovered that I had an Allstate policy. Allstate said that they would either replace a battery or provide a new one. So, when I sent it in, they replaced the battery. There was conflicting information given to me as to how long it would take and when the battery would arrive. Also, there was little to no follow-up so I'm not sure how the policy stands now. They didn't tell us whether or not the device is still insured or the policy lapses if I make one claim, or if I can make several claims. It wasn't clear in the literature either.

    I got a little bit of a runaround, but it wasn't due to them. We found that my TV had a recall through LG, and so they hooked me up with LG and they were supposed to fix it. Whoever they contract through to fix these things never showed up. Every day they were supposed to show up, they rescheduled. It was more than a month. And in the process of me calling about my TV, I had an accident, so I was hurt. So, I forgot all about it and then I'm like, "Hey, my TV's still messing us."

    So, the day I called AllState had it done. It was perfect as it normally is. They sent the technician out and it took them 30 minutes to fix it and my TV's working. The money that I spent on that TV, I do not have right now to replace it. That would have resulted in me having to throw away the TV. But now, I'll have it for a couple of more years.

    The ice maker was freezing up on the inside and looked like a ship that had gotten trapped in the ice in the Arctic. Everything was flawless and very simple with the reps. I was very impressed. Very quickly AllState sent somebody out. They wanted me to send a picture and the only thing that I told them is, "I can't send you a picture because I can't get the ice maker out." And he's like, "Well, can you thaw it?" And I said, "I'm not gonna thaw it because when the guy comes out, there won't be anything wrong with it." So, they were okay with that and we did not send a picture and the guy came out with the part and took care of everything. So far, everything has been fine. My husband is anti-warranties because, frequently, they cost more or 75% of the value of the appliance but this was very affordable and represented a good value.

    Our Magic Bullet was making a lot of loud noise and it was leaking water. The rubber that was on the bottom of the plastic thing was malfunctioning, so that was why it was making a lot of noise. We just stopped using it and bought a new one. It was covered by a protection plan from Allstate and we submitted a claim through the online portal of SquareTrade. I had to provide my email ID that was used during the initial process and I made a claim. I got three options to choose from - get a payout, get it repaired, and get a replacement. I chose the payout, then they sent the check over to my home.

    The claims process was very good and I never thought it would be so easy. I'm glad I took the plan because I had a Magic Bullet before and it went off in a couple of years. So when I bought the Magic Bullet the second time, I purposely took the coverage because I never knew how long this Magic Bullet was going to be perfectly okay.

    It has been a month since my tv went out. It took over a week for a repair guy, if you want to call him that, come out and try a part. It did not work. After repeated calls of next steps I was told they would replace the TV. They offered a very inferior replacement. I got them to agree to a set that was very close to identical. But now it has been over a month and they supposedly ordered a new TV almost 2 weeks ago, and this morning I get an email saying they reordered my tv again. "Please give us 1 to 2 days to respond," is all I hear from my Hindu reps. I won't buy another warranty with Allstate/Square Trade. The process is painful, no one responds in a timely manner and I have wasted a ton of personal time just following up to get this replacement. And who knows when it will actually get replaced.

    Hi Hermant,

    We’re certainly sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the resolution to your claim.

    At SquareTrade, we do our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and a reimbursement is typically an option reserved for atypical situations. We designed our protection plans to cover our customers up to the amount spent on the item. The resolution we offer is based on several factors, which include the cost of repair versus the purchase price of the item, or if we are able to replace it with a comparable item within your coverage limits. If we are unable to do these, we typically offer a reimbursement to allow customers the flexibility of finding a replacement that best suits their needs.

    This is far after the fact but upon reviewing my emails I was sent attached photos and links to photos of "my laptop" with the supposed bug in it. However the links go to SquareTrade's login portal that I need credentials to access. I had briefly saw a photo of a bug under a chip when the email was first sent to me. The attachments now are corrupted/broken and are actually html files of some sort.

    I filed a claim in September 2018 for my Asus laptop. It was having issues charging correctly but would turn on when enough charge was in the battery or it was propped up successfully to make the charger connect and work. The fans would work and the computer would power on and be useable. I sent the computer to squaretrade via the box they sent me. I was returned the laptop with an explanation saying that my warranty was voided for insect infestation. However, the laptop was returned to me inoperable and would no longer turn on. I tried charging it in the same manner I had before sending it and it would not power on even when the same circumstances were in place as before.

    This persisted even after I had the soldering to the charger fixed by a professional later. (The charging light would come on but the computer power light would blink in a pattern and would not turn on.) When I took my laptop after the warranty was voided to a repair person, he soldered the charger connection that had come loose (the apparent reason for the difficulty in charging) back together appropriately and the computer had no insect in it. I was and am very upset with how my warranty for a $1400 laptop was voided for no reason and even more upset the computer was returned to me non functional and I received no explanation as to how this happened. The representative I eventually spoke with emailed me the links mentioned at the start of this review.

    Aug 11, Square Trade created Claim ID ** when I asked for a new phone because my old one wasn't working (battery dying, no carrier signal, couldn't always hear from phone speaker). Square Trade told me to replace the battery first because that was standard practice. I paid my $50 deductible and took it to the repair shop who also noticed the cracked screen. The battery bill was $57 after taxes, but I did not have the screen replaced. The phone still didn't work, so I contacted them again. Sept 28, they assigned me Claim ID ** to replace the cracked screen. Again, I paid my $50 deductible.

    When I told Square Trade that replacing the battery and the cracked screen did not resolve the carrier loss issue or the issue with the phone speaker, they said too bad because I had already used the 2 claims that I had available under my warranty. I had to go to my phone company, **, and have one of their reps call Square Trade. After hours on the phone, Square Trade was able to offer me a $100 refund and give me another claim.

    I never received the $100 refund, but I was finally able to submit for a replacement phone. My replacement phone was authorized on Oct 12 with claim number ** which did not arrive until Oct 30. So, to get my phone fixed, it took 3 claims, 1 call to my carrier to get Square Trade to stop swindling me, and 3 months (Aug, Sep, and Oct). I would not recommend Square Trade unless you have a legal team to fight for you when something goes wrong with your covered item.

    With Allstate, I had to have so many different types of pictures taken for different types of screens and it was pretty extensive. The emails weren't the greatest. But when I was able to get in touch with someone on the phone, it worked out really well. It's just that if I didn't get in touch with anyone on the phone, I wouldn't have been able to move the process through. I had Geek Squad before and they had less resistance but that was mostly because it was an in-person. They saw the device and they were able to see what was going on there. That's just the difference between doing it remotely and doing it personally. Overall, I'm happy with how it all played out. In fact, because of the warranty, I’m debating where I'm going to buy my next TV because of how good it was.

    It is always a sad situation when a consumer is ignored and or mistreated to the point where they must file a complaint in order to get their issue heard and resolved. The Square Trade folks did finally make this issue right, BUT it is just ridiculous that it wasn't handled appropriately to begin with.

    Original Review: Oct. 19, 2021

    The warranty paperwork states under provision clause #7 that if cash claim is offered it would be equal to a similar item with similar features/benefits. I was initially only offered $328.00 on a 22 month old 55 inch television that I got on a black Friday sale. The same size, brand, and model is currently $600.00. HOW IS THAT EVEN CLOSE to resolving my situation in a fair manner?

    It took 2 different people and 3 calls to get another offer. This time it was $378.00. The rep. said that that was all they could do. I tried to explain that your own warranty paperwork states I would get it either replaced with a like model OR an appropriate cash settlement that would buy a like model. After over an hour I was offered $400.00. I was in absolute tears, stressed out, and exhausted (which is a crappy place to be as a stage 4 cancer patient ). As it is I can't afford to get another quality 55 inch Samsung T.V. of similar quality and value. Now I have no television in my living room, because anything smaller I wouldn't be able to properly see the screen.

    I bought the warranty because I wanted my T.V. repaired or replaced with a similar quality should anything happen. After all, THAT is what Square Trade by Allstate promises in their paperwork. However, that is not what they delivered. The warranty was NOT supported nor honored by this fraudulent advertisement. I am so upset, as T.V. is about the only thing I can even do right now. Chemotherapy is a beast, so t.v. WAS my lifeline. Thanks to this crappy resolution this company literally cut off my lifeline. I couldn't be more disappointed and disgusted with Square Trade by All-State.

    Hi Dena,

    We’re sorry to hear that you’ve experienced any frustration while filing a claim on your TV.

    SquareTrade Protection Plans cover a wide variety of issues; however, the Terms & Conditions state that coverage is limited to the amount spent on the item at purchase. Our customers often purchase their items on sale, which can lead to circumstances where we are unable to replace the item because a comparable model costs more than the original purchase price. In these cases, we may offer other alternatives, such as reimbursement for the purchase price or a repair, if possible.

    I sent in my HP laptop to have the keyboard fixed. They received it on August 12. They said it would be 2-5 days for repairs. I never heard anything by September 1, so I reached out to them. A customer service rep told me it would be arriving that night, and I would receive an email with a tracking number. I never got an email. I contacted them again, and they confirmed that (1) it was not repaired and in the mail, (2) that they only started to work on it on August 30 (18 days after receipt), (3) that a part was ordered on that date and had not been received yet, and (4) that only now had someone requested a further update from the repair shop after I contacted them twice. The whole process, with shipping, was supposed to be 10 days--which I relied on when I sent it. I still don't have my computer after 20, and it isn't even done.

    I have used SquareTrade protection for all my purchased items for years. However, filing a claim has been the worst experience ever. I tried to file a claim with my Coleman Hot Tub in 2019. I was given the run around by the agent and supervisor about uploading a receipt that I did and that I had initially uploaded when I purchased the warranty. So I gave up. However, the Coleman Hot Tub is in worse shape, and my Ello&Allo Shower Tower is not working and required me to file a claim. During this claim process, the reimbursement amount offered was less than the cost of the item, and only after declining the offer was the payout for the total price. Why is this your policy? It’s very inappropriate for paid warranty protection when I paid for both items' five-year protection plans.

    And your new web design no longer has the information requested attached with your old web design. So now, I cannot see where I purchased the item, the uploaded receipt, or the serial number. Constantly I was asked for this information. It would be appreciated if you changed how you email your warranty plans to include the item's name or store purchased details and not just a plan number. I currently have a folder filled with “Thank You For Purchasing Your New Protection Plan.” With that said, I’m grateful that both Terrica and Vanessa were finally able to professionally and adequately process my claims. I'm just grateful that Allstate doesn’t handle my life insurance or car insurance policies.

    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.

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.

    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. Icemaker now functions again. This more than paid for itself. It would have been a costly repair without the warranty.

    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. All things in consideration it took a relatively small amount of effort for me to use our warranty and I am pleased that they fulfilled their end of the contract as, honestly, I was not sure if a company would given the cost of the 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. I hope my laptop doesn’t break down again, because I would more than likely go into credit card debt buying a new laptop than trusting to send it to your company to have it repaired ever again.
