My iphone battery failed to hold a charge within the warranty period. There was some confusion about the possibility of repairing it, and I had trouble finding a good method of communication, but eventually it was determined to not be repairable and I was refunded.

Our 14 month old Kitchenaid dishwasher just stopped washing on the day before Easter. We called SquareTrade on Monday, April 10. They scheduled a repair person for the following Monday, April 17. The repair service contacted us later on April 17 to tell us that they had a technician available on April 11. The technician arrived later than expected but on April 11 and diagnosed the issue. The circulating pump had failed. He ordered the parts while still at our house. The parts arrived on April 13 and we notified the repair service. The technician returned on April 17 and completed all repairs, test ran the dishwasher, and provided us with a Paid In Full invoice for the repairs. We were very satisfied with the support provided by SquareTrade and the repair service they engaged.

Allstate authorized me to take computer to local computer repair and they would refund "immediately" upon sending them the receipt. That was April 5 and this is April 26, so 21 days later and I still don't have my refund despite calling them several times. It's always the same story, I'll receive it within 5 business days and I'm still waiting.

Allstate Protection Plans response

I was approved to get a new phone with few questions. Then the phone arrived quickly. It even included a tool so I could remove my SD card and put it in the new phone. Only drawback was I had the older 2022 version which had the camera in a different spot so my case doesn't work. Small price to pay for a new phone at no cost for it and free shipping each way.

A week after approving my claims & telling me to dispose of the items as I see fit, regarding two electric blankets that don't heat anymore, they cancelled the gift cards they had ALREADY issued & insisted I take pictures of the items. I will never waste my money on another protection plan. When I call they pretend they can't hear me & say hello hello hello over & over. Epic fail.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Nicole,

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

SquareTrade does our best to eliminate any roadblocks that might affect customers. However, there are necessary actions customers must take to help us move their claims forward, such as submitting proof of purchase as well as pictures of the damaged item. We require receipts to verify essential details affecting the protection plan, such as the item's description, item price, and date of purchase. Once the proper documentation is submitted, we process the payment quickly.

We reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.

Thank you,

I had purchased an iPhone 8 on eBay and after using it for a while I noticed the battery use was going down faster than it should be. So I contacted Allstate, went through the claim procedure, had the battery replaced, and finished the claim and have my check in hand for the reimbursement for battery purchase. Great Service.

The Samsonite rolling bag I purchased in August 2021 was going to be my daily work bag. I travel to people's homes to provide occupational therapy services for children. I used this bag every work day to carry files and toys. I did purchase the extended warranty when I bought the bag. In April 2023 the zipper began to fail on the main compartment. I was worried that I would lose my trusted companion on my home visits and then recalled having the extended warranty. I contacted Allstate Protection Plans on Monday morning and by Wednesday had confirmation that I would be refunded the purchase price. I will be able to get a replacement bag and continue on my daily visits with children in confidence.

Original review: April 18, 2023

My computer broke down, and I thought now it's just trash. I filed a claim to Allstate. It was fairly straightforward. The lady did the diagnostic on my computer with my assistance, and she made the determination that the hard disk was corrupted. She asked me to repeat the serial number, and we went through and wrote down the serial number. She issued a sticker. It prints out with shipping information. So, I boxed it up and taped the label and I sent it back. Within a week, they said, “Your computer has been repaired and they are sending it back to you.” So, it was relatively pain-free. I didn't expect it to be under warranty, but apparently, it was warranted for one year.

Allstate loaded the new operating system on the computer with only the updates. So when I received it, I did not need to do any update which is a pain. They replaced the hard drive. They did not promise that they were going to retain the hard drive or transfer the data. I knew that, so that was not a problem. They replaced a hard drive, reloaded the operating system, and it seems to be fine since then.

Original review: April 17, 2023

I had an issue with a 65" Vizio television where after a couple of years, I started seeing this burnished image of what almost looked like a waffle, but just a part of it had lines going diagonally and some lines going horizontally. You can see it the clearest on a screen that was a lighter background, but it forever stayed there even if the screen was not lit. So, I filed my claim to Allstate. I gave them a short description and several different picture angles of the screen. After I submitted something that was clear enough for them to see what I was talking about, they didn't even bother going any further, they just reimbursed me for the cost of the unit because of the fact that it was up under a certain amount. Everybody that I spoke to, even in email correspondence, was very professional and done properly.

Claim process was rather redundant. First I filled out the form on the website describing the issue and all of the specifics of the item. Then the website directed me to call. So I called and was asked to restate everything the website asked for. I was told to send the item in for repair and it was fixed and returned to me a week later.

Original review: April 14, 2023

I started a claim for a television that went out. The reps with Allstate told me to start at the manufacturer since it had not been a year. I did so. They could not help me. So I have had about 10 phone calls between Phillips and the warranty plan and nobody seems to want to help or provide support. I purchased the plan with the idea that IF I needed to buy a new television timely if something happened I would have protection neccesary. I likely wouldn't purchase a warranty through Allstate/Square again. It's been a nightmare.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Davin,

We apologize for any frustrations caused surrounding your TV claim.

SquareTrade protection plans are extended warranties designed to provide peace of mind by protecting against mechanical and electrical failures when the manufacturer's warranty has expired, or the manufacturer cannot assist during their warranty period. If the manufacturer does not provide service, SquareTrade can reevaluate the case to see how we can take care of the customer's issue.

We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and come to an amicable resolution for your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

Thank you,

LS.

My electric scooter started failing and need to contact the manufacturer company... Besides all time I spent trying to fix this issue with the manufacturer...like new parts I needed to changed and time I have to wait for the answers etc, but at the end, the e-scooter still not working and the manufacturer company wouldn't do anything else to help me. So I decided to contact Allstate...

At the beginning, I was a little skeptical if they would help me or make me wait even more time but I was totally wrong... because as soon as someone answered me the phone...it makes me feel like I was in control of the things I wanted to be helped... I explained everything to her. She asked me questions then she reviewed my claim in matter of time and told me they will give me a new scooter or pay me in a check. So it was very easy to do this for me I never thought it was gonna be. So after approving this, they sent me a check in less than 5 days... Already bought my new scooter that will come soon to my house.

Original review: April 12, 2023

I recently filed a claim to Allstate for two bicycles, but they only gave me money for one of the bikes. One of them stopped working. The other one had something with the brakes. They're identical bikes because they’re for identical twins. It stopped working not too long after I bought them, but they didn't let me know. I just asked my granddaughters, “How come you guys don’t ride your bikes?” They said they don’t work, so I checked it out. I said, “Well, you guys should have told me because I took out an extended warranty.” When I went in and looked at it, I said, “Oh, the warranty is still good.”

Allstate must have thought it was one bike. They gave me a partial refund on one bike. For the other one, I tried to get in touch with someone at Allstate to let them know, but to no avail, so I just gave up. I’m too old to go through all that. First I did the one, and then after they said they were gonna send me the card through my email, then I went back in to do the other one. I noticed both of them had the same warranty numbers on them. They could see there are two bikes but they had the same numbers on both bikes. The number that I had to use for the claim.

As far as the claim process, I had to fill out a form online just saying what was wrong with them, but they didn't ask me for a lot of information. It took a while, though, for them to okay the refund because they couldn't find the bikes in there. I have a lot of items. Then when they found it, it was easygoing. When I was filling out the paperwork, they sent me the numbers that I needed to put into the paperwork. So, that was cool, but when I was putting it in, I didn't know they were the same number until I went to do the second bike, because I kept trying to do the second bike, and they kept telling me it was solved. It only took 10 minutes that same day after we got done for them to send me the e-card through my email. I kept trying, but without having a different number, I couldn't get anywhere.

All-State caught hold of my situation right away and refunded my money right away, the only logical action. When I bought the chair several months ago it was delivered broken. Over a number of calls Angi determined they just couldn't fix it and stopped working with me. From time to time I was contacted by someone somewhere and when I explained the situation they would drop me, too. This time I was surprised that someone responsible offered to refund the purchase price. Thank you for your help.

Took over 2 weeks to process this claim. Made multiple phone calls to resolve the issue. Customer service reps were located outside of the United States and that resulted in language barrier problems. Several times, when a rep would transfer me to another department, I ended up back in the main queue or disconnected. All in all, this was a terrible experience.

I filed a claim and was told that they would waive my deductible. When I turned in the receipt, they took the deductible out of the reimbursed amount. Then they told me that the insurance would be canceled moving forward because the repair amount was high. I emailed them and have not received a response. I have had wonderful experiences with this company over the years but this time, they missed the mark.

Having a protection plan is very valuable when it comes to electronics. I bought it on my washer because the previous one died on me less than two years of owning it. Luckily, I had the protection on that. I got the plan for the next one as well. The claims process went really smooth. Allstate ended up sending me a check, and since it was such a large item, they just said, "Get rid of it." I'd give Allstate the highest rating.

The claim was accepted and I chose the gift card reimbursement because it said I would receive the refund within one day. Received an email saying I would receive the email within one day. Never received a gift card. 6 calls later it is currently April 9th still no gift card. So much for getting a replacement microwave within a few days. It's been weeks. Still getting a runaround on the phone, no solution has been made and no gift card. They refuse to send a check in the mail or reimburse my original payment method. I need to receive a call from Allstate and not square trade and I need a check in the mail. Emails read, "Hello Chelsea, Your gift card has been processed and will be emailed to you within 1 business day to email address: **. Sincerely, The Allstate Protection Plans Team".

Great experience, they exceeded my expectations! With no hesitation they understood my issue and gladly found a resolution to my problem. Other insurance companies always look for a way out in order for them not to fix the problem or pay. I’ve had also purchased Allstate home insurance, Allstate roadside insurance and all of them have been pleasantly experience. Couldn’t be happier, with Allstate insurance.

Don't buy this Allstate Square Trade Warranty. It is a scam. When I made a claim, it took multiple times contacting them to get a check. I wanted the item replaced which cost 32.99 now, but instead they sent me a check for 23.99 which was the cost 3 years ago. It was such a pain I just deposited the check and it bounced. I incurred a $12 fee. Horrible warranty.

I reported I had two issues with my TV. One being the sound issue with the Netflix app, and then I also had issues with the internet connectivity. It would randomly disconnect. The Allstate Protection agent gave me the phone number to Netflix and then I was on the phone with someone with Netflix for about an hour, and we were going through troubleshooting steps. In the middle of going through the troubleshooting steps for trying to get the sound to work, Netflix stopped working because of the internet disconnection.

Allstate wanted me to record something and send it to them. When I was recording, it said, “You have no internet connection. Please try again.” I went to the internet connection board, and as it was recording, it showed that the internet would disconnect and then reconnect, and then disconnect. It did it three times. So I reported that. They sent two pieces. One for the motherboard and one for the wireless situation. The repair person came, and when he changed it out, he changed out both the motherboard and then the Ethernet thing, and then he realized that the motherboard that they sent was bad. Then he had to open the TV back up, change the motherboard out, put the old motherboard back in, and he said, “Ok. Well, this thing works so I'm leaving.”

Three days later, my internet was disconnected. So I'm not too happy about that aspect. When the repair guy was here, we both had to dismount the TV. I couldn't go and I had to sit there because I needed to assist him. It's a 65-inch TV. You need two people for it. At this point in time, I've wasted about six hours on troubleshooting, and time is money. I was working that day.

I completed everything online and never had to speak with anyone. I had kept my email message with the confirmation of my warranty coverage and that made things very smooth.

About a day later I received an email that my request was accepted and they were sending me a replacement.

I submitted a claim for a cell phone that was run over by a car. I followed their instructions to take it to one of their authorized repair stores who comfirmed that it was not fixable (after sending my $114 deductible to Squaretrade). I submitted the forms, waited 5 days and contacted them by phone. They said I needed to take my phone to one of their repair centers. I already did that and submitted to paperwork back to them, then they said they did not show it being received. I stayed on the phone as I emailed the scanned forms to them, and the person confirmed they received them. 5 days later, still nothing, I called again, this time to be told to take the phone to UPS using a label they would email to me. 3 days later, no email form or label.

Called again, this time stayed on phone until I received the label, immediately took the phone to UPS and got a receipt with tracking number. 2 days later contacted them again, they said I would get the full cost of the phone paid via check, send to my home address. 3 WEEKS LATER, still no check, contacted them again, after being on hold for 15 minutes, was assured that the payment would be mailed in 5 to 7 days. STILL NO CHECK.

I love the Allstate/Square Trade Protection plan received with my refrigerator from Costco. I trust Costco and I trusted Square Trade because it is what Costco used. The Whirlpool refrigerator has been a big disappointment. It uses non-user replaceable LED bulbs in series. So anytime one bulb goes out, all bulbs are affected. Between the 1 year manufacturer warranty, Costco extended warranty (2nd year) and Allstate/Square Trade warranty (3 years), I have had to have a repairman come to change light bulbs 4 times in less than 4 years. I will never buy another Whirlpool refrigerator, BUT I will buy my next refrigerator from Costco and I WILL get the Allstate/SquareTrade warranty because (unlike Whirlpool) they have always delighted and never disappointed me. I am very happy with the plan.

Our 70-inch Onn TV was not turning on at all. I tried all of the recommended fixes before I called Allstate and the rep said, "I have a list of things." I said, "Let me tell you what I have done." I went through him and he said, "That's what I would have had to do. Hang on a minute." He came back and he said they'd offer a full refund. The rep was absolutely wonderful, kind and thorough. I opted for a Walmart gift card because I went right back to Walmart and got another television, just a different brand. I got the Allstate plan on it too.

It took a little extra time and some persistence on my end to get the issue resolved, but it got resolved, and I was happy with the outcome. There was one guy in particular who was really helpful. They offered to fix my phone or have me take it locally to be repaired or refund my money. It was a very expensive phone and it was doing some things that I couldn't control. Originally, Allstate was gonna replace it, then two days later, they sent me an email saying that they didn't have anything like that in stock. They got approval from somebody a little higher up and just refunded my money, and I trashed the phone. It was gonna be too much money to fix it.

The more valuable an item is, the more you need something for it. I've bought a few protection plans from Allstate in the past, including the one for my phone and another one for an engagement ring I bought two years ago for my fiancé. I just bought another phone yesterday, and I didn't get the protection plan, but I have 30 days to do it. I'm just making sure this is the phone that I want.

I've purchased six protection plans throughout my life. I always buy them. I've bought Christmas decorations with them, and all my computers or phones have had them as well, but the one that I had a claim on was for a Fitbit that I bought for my husband. On the face of his Fitbit, there are two pieces of hard plastic that you run the strap through that goes on his arm, and he broke them.

The guy I dealt with at Allstate was super nice. They sent me the thing, and I sent them the email with four sentences and a picture. They sent me an email saying it was approved, and they mailed me a check, which I got it in four days. It was easy. We had our Fitbit for 10 months and they came out with a new one that was a Charge 5. My husband wanted the Charge 5, and Allstate just paid us the money because it was $69.

I had a TCL 65-inch TV and the screen went black. I bought the same brand before and it did the exact same thing this one did. I did not have insurance then, but I got it this time. It was a bit difficult to file a claim because of the way Allstate has it set up. I filled it in with them and I had look at my emails and call them back to finish my claim. That was the only weird thing. Everything else was easy. I submitted pictures of the TV. They offered to send me a similar TV or cash, and I decided to take the cash and to switch TV brands this time, but they decided to renege on the offer. They sent me back an updated claim where they offered me two TVs and no cash, but I told them that wasn't acceptable. Eventually, they refunded me the entire purchase price of the TV. Go for Allstate Protection Plans. It's a good deal.

Tablet on my son's tablet was accidentally cracked. It still worked great, but we needed the glass to be replaced. Service to get a claim and send was really quick.

SquareTrade designed our rapid repair resolution to provide consumers with an efficient alternative to local repair. It allows the consumer to ship their device via FedEx one day shipping to a repair location to have the device fixed within 24 hours of receiving it. The item is then shipped back to the consumer either the same or the following day. Although the process is usually quick, there are delays caused when the item is not repair.

My iMac computer was a refurbished one and everything was working good. Then, it just stopped working. First, Allstate said that I had to go through Walmart because it was under a year. But because it was pre-owned, I didn't have to because they don't do refurbish. After that, I still went with Allstate. The rep helped me but the computer still didn’t work. So, I waited until the date and I called it in. He tried to help me and when he couldn't, he told me to send Allstate my receipt. I did and they sent me my money. I got an e-card for Walmart. The protection plan is convenient and the price is always good for the insurance. I used Allstate a long time ago and that's why I did it. My grandson's PlayStation 4 had gone out and I sent it in to them and they sent it back. My grandson is still using the PlayStation and that's been years. I’m very satisfied with Allstate.

I've called Allstate a couple of times. Both experiences have been pretty good. The second time that I called because my husband had either lost or somebody stole his phone. I’m not sure which one, but I was disappointed because that coverage is not on that plan. It's basically for repairs. The agent was very apologetic for not covering lost and stolen items. She requested a refund for my warranty.

I had to call back because it was taking quite a bit of time for them to send my refund and to make sure that it had been processed. Come find out that something happened with the system. They had to do it all over again. But it only took three to five days. It was a smooth process and that agent helped me very well. What I ended up doing was canceling the protection for that particular phone because we had to go out and purchase another phone. But with my first claim, the agent was very helpful. I just sent them my receipt and they reimbursed me.

The tablet's screen still worked, but it was broken. Glass, children, not a good thing. So, I sent the tablet off. I did everything online. The rep said, "If you need to utilize the plan, this is the website, and this is your product number." It was easy, and they sent me an email that had the FedEx printout. So, I took it to FedEx, and they shipped it off. I got it back within a week.

I ended up having the same tablet before when I didn't think I needed it and I had to repurchase a new one. So, the protection has already been a lifesaver because the coverage itself is only 30 bucks, but the whole tablet is over 100. So, to have to replace a whole tablet and I don't have insurance as opposed to getting the insurance and having the protection on it, it makes it much worth it. If you're gonna get furniture, get it as well. Because if you have pets, that is also a very good important protection plan to have.

He would jump through a whole bunch of hoops and it took me a bit more than 45 minutes to get us to the point of agreeing that they'd just give me a replacement price. A few weeks later, I got the check. All in all, the protection plan was valuable enough that I've got it on my new phone. I was also glad I had the insurance, even though I didn't know I had it until after I was informed about it. I was glad that the PureTalk agent had put it on there. Otherwise, I would have been out.

I got an Allstate plan for a gold chain and a pendant. When their tech offered it to me, she didn't actually explain the contract but they had a brochure that had all the information. It covers everything except if somebody stole the items. I also used an Allstate plan before for a griddle and when I filed a claim, it was difficult because the receipt that I had was an old one. The letters have faded out and it was hard for me to tell them some of the information in there. Other than that, I had a pleasant experience with Allstate.

Seven months ago, I noticed that the iron started malfunctioning. At first, I thought the electricity in the old home that I was at that was getting it overheated. Then we moved to another house that we bought and when I used the iron again, there was still something wrong with it. It would overheat to the point that I couldn't even grab the handle. I made the claim with Allstate and I said what was going on. They were very helpful and they sent me a reimbursement to be able to purchase a new one. The claims process went very smoothly and I was very impressed. I'm in the rural area and I wasn't expecting it to be that fast. I wish other companies would work that way. At the moment, my washer's lid is rattling really ugly and it's leveled. I made a claim and it's been two months, but the techs have not come out. It's because I'm in the rural area now.

We got Allstate for a Samsung 45-inch TV. When there was no sound to it, I called Allstate, and they had me go through the different tests to make sure it was something wrong with the TV. Then they said they'd send me a new one. The first one they sent had a cracked screen. I had to call them back, and they told me to send them a picture. I did and they told me they'd replace it. The second one finally made it safely. But Allstate was a pain. They kept insinuating that there was nothing wrong with the TV and I kept telling them there was. They had me reset this and that. They tried to fix it over the phone which took three hours.

So I bought a refurbished laptop on eBay that came with a SquareTrade protection plan. Basically, I’ve been trying to get this whole thing resolved since Oct 26, 2022. During normal use, the laptop bursts into flames during normal use while surfing the internet and they keep denying me that they won't cover due to the damage under 8 (K) reference in the '"What is not covered'' section of the contract, but after talking to a few sqauretrade supervisors over the phone. Because the damage was caused by mechanical or electrical failure due to the laptop overheating, the laptop should be covered because that’s the thing that caused the fire damage and not an accident. The most helpful supervisor has been David ** who told me I should be covered for this, but the claims review department think differently. It seems like my item is supposed to be covered and, in the end, I'm being run around in circles.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Stephen,

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

SquareTrade offers two types of plans: Standard and Accidental. Our Standard plan covers mechanical and electrical malfunctions, while the Accidental plan includes accidental drops or liquid contact. In this case, the item was covered under our Standard Protection plan, which does not protect against physical damage. While SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our customers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.

At this time, one of our team members has reached out to you to provide additional assistance and support.

Thank You

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Curtis,

We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your recent experience.

As it turns out, SquareTrade protection plans cover up to the amount you paid for your item. However, this does exclude taxes or other additional fees included with the purchase. The amount paid for the plan is used toward the services provided through the warranty. Again, we are very sorry for your frustration with the resolution provided.

At this time, one of our specialists has reached out to you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.

Started on around March 22, took the Roomba to Walmart and was told I was over the 90-day return policy. Came back home and emailed Allstate and made the claim. They sent me to the manufacturer, who sent me back to Allstate who sent me back to Walmart who sent me to Allstate who wanted me to call the manufacturer again. I can't make anyone understand, I do not want this, I don't want it repaired and I don't want to fight with the darn thing any longer. I have spent hours on the phone with various departments and can't get anyone to help. I have only tried to use this thing three times, once was terrible to figure out, second time a bit better and the third time it would not even leave the base. I do NOT want it. I just want a full refund and a shipping label to return it.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Arlene,

We are sorry that you are dissatisfied with your recent claim experience.

SquareTrade protection plans are extended warranties designed to provide peace of mind by protecting against mechanical and electrical failures when the manufacturer's warranty has expired, or the manufacturer cannot assist during their warranty period. In the event the manufacturer does not provide service, SquareTrade can reevaluate the case to see how we can take care of the consumer's issue.

We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and come to an amicable resolution for your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

Thank you,

My 14-month old Canon Pixma printer suddenly began printing out everything absolutely unreadable. The Canon warranty had expired. I first performed all the self maintenance steps and nothing helped. I called Allstate/Square Trade. The tech tried a few more maintenance maneuvers with me and nothing helped. At that point, he offered a full refund for the printer! I was so relieved. One doesn't expect a 14-month old printer, and one not used every day, to quit after 14 months. I was extremely impressed with Square Trade and Allstate. I'll be sure to purchase their extended service warranty for the new printer I purchase.

TV is stuck on one channel, I was thankful I had bought the additional protection plan at the time of purchase at Walmart. Nothing accidental happened with the TV, when I called to file the claim I was told the TV has a software issue and they only cover mechanical & electrical claims. Complete scam of a protection plan! Save your money and avoid the Allstate protection plans.

I have been going back and forth with Squaretrade for a week now. I get different information from each rep I speak to (everyone has the wrong information). I was supposed to send my product in and get a email gift card within 1-2 business days. On Monday you received the item, yet I didn’t get a gift card even after 2 business days. Yesterday I got a call saying there was a glitch in the system and I now have to fill an affidavit form, which I did fill out. Then I got an email saying it was accepted and I will get a email gift card soon. Later I got another email saying the check will be sent to my house.

I called in and each person I spoke to gave me different information - 1 person said they ran out of gift card, another person said the email was a mistake, another person said they attempted to send a gift card and it didn’t work so now they are sending to my house a check. This is very unfair. I want to receive a email gift card and it shouldn’t be this difficult to handle a customer and especially provide correct information.

I began to file my claim on 1-4-23 and received a Big Lots gift card for $328.94 on 3-23-23. When I reordered the rocker recliner (same make and model) I had to pay $62. more for it. The plan covers replacement if repair is not possible. It did not cover the entire replacement cost. There was an unreasonable amount of time to get any satisfaction. The process was long and frustrating, it involved repeated phone calls and resubmissions. I think they hoped that I would lose the receipt, because I had to submit a photo of it multiple times.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Thomas,

We apologize for any frustration surrounding 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 & Conditions state that there is a limit of liability set for each plan, which indicates the coverage amount is up to the price of your item.

At this time, one of our specialists has contacted you to discuss this and ensure the proper support is provided to resolve your issue.

For our recent claim with Allstate, our TV wouldn't completely turn off. We had it set up for Alexa and turning it off by voice, and it got to the point where it wouldn't work. No matter how many times you'd reset it, it wasn't working properly. It took Allstate 10 days, but they sent me a check for the amount that I had it insured for with them. I also had a claim for a battery I had for a mower. They were supposed to have sent me a check months and months ago, but they never sent anything. I kept calling about it. Finally, I got ahold of somebody there and they got tired of having me call all the time. Apparently, one of the people that work there decided they were gonna just send me $25 to shut me up.

My iPhone got smashed, unfortunately at work and had to start dealing with Allstate/SquareTrade because that’s whom I purchased my insurance through regretfully, I made a couple mistakes on my end like having to get an email switched which took a week and a half to do, and for the past 2 1/2 weeks I’ve been getting the runaround about my phone being sent to me (and I have emails to prove that allstate/Squaretrade sent) when I finally got a tracking number, which I had to contact them myself to get because they never sent me one I find it it’s in Edison New Jersey and it’s been sitting there for days, apparently it got lost.

That’s what the Postal Service told me, because I ended up calling them because of whoever at Allstate/Square trade told me they needed a case number one and the Postal Service told me they didn’t have it. They told me they also couldn’t give me a case number because the phone was never there, when I called I told Square trade or whoever they wanna be and they basically me to make phone calls to the Postal Service to try to find it, um no! They should be the ones responsible for it until I get the phone, it’s like that in any other way when someone or a company sends merchandise, I got to the point where I went to another carrier and had to get a phone because I went so long without one. I need it for business reasons, so I will be contacting a lawyer to take further action against Allstate/square trade whoever they want to pinpoint it on to deal this.

I bought a $20 warranty from Sam's, and I've had it two and half years when the pressure washer ended up messing up. The pump wouldn't work, and I was just gonna write it off. It's one of those things that happens and when you buy something, you don't expect it to last forever. My wife then said, "Well, I think you've got a warranty on it." So, I looked at it and it was a three-year warranty. I called Allstate and no questions asked, they credited me a new one. It was super streamlined and awesome.

Within two days, because I had to get some information as well, the rep got everything ready. She said, "Do you want a check or do you want credit?" I said, "You can just give me the credit because I'm gonna buy another one anyway." It took five to eight days, but it wasn't a big deal because I knew it was coming. I went ahead and purchased another one from Sam's, then deposited the other stuff. I got the warranty as well. I normally don't buy warranties, but because of Allstate and their ability to take care of everything, I've bought warranties since then. The fact that Allstate took care of it so quickly, I was really impressed. I'm highly satisfied, and I have recommend them.

The warranty came as a bundle pack with my 65" Samsung TV when I got it at Costco, after 3 years the board exploded, so I knew I had bought the warranty, what is weird is that if they have the information in the system why you have to go thru the trouble of removing your TV to get all the specifications, I guess some people called for the wrong equipment. After filing the complaint you have to call them for the next step, and explain over and over the same thing that you documented in the initial report online. I am glad I had a very polite and patient guy to guide me on several steps to make an approximate diagnosis, and after that they sent the parts and a technician lady came home and swapped the components..... and Bingo!! So, besides the initial process everything went smooth and I did not have to pay anything. The whole process took one week.

I always get the protection plan. It just makes good sense, sometimes I never use. Sometimes I need it. For the minimal price of the plan to me it's really worth it. I recently had to make a claim and it was handled great, Allstate went out of their way to make things right. Kudos.
