    I got SquareTrade for a brand-new phone and did not expect to have any problems. But having SquareTrade made sense on this one. They shipped out the phone pretty quickly and it got returned quickly, and everything was resolved on it. Although there have been times I've bought SquareTrade and haven’t had a problem, I'm fine with that, too.

    I was offered the SquareTrade warranty at Staples and I just went ahead and purchased it. I filed a claim for an office chair, which I’ve had for probably a year and a half. The seams on the arm were starting to pull apart and then, the same thing on the top of the back was kinda going against the wall. Filing the claim was easy. You just go on their website and follow the directions. I got a response the next day so it was quick. They couldn’t find the color match and I even went back up to Staples the other day just to see if they had something, and they didn’t have it. So, it was unfortunate because that’s the color scheme that went good with my office. They offered me a refund and so, I’m getting about 90% of the full purchase price. I haven’t received the check yet, but I had a good experience with it. I’m extremely pleased and I would buy a SquareTrade product again.

    Wow, what a great experience I had with SquareTrade. I had made several calls into square trade. Everytime I called the customer service representative was very professional and courteous. Not only were they informative and helpful over the phone they got me in touch with the person who could help me. They followed up with me by calling me back to ask if there was anything else that I needed. I would definitely recommend my friends and family.

    When my beautiful six-month old notebook computer stopped working (after I accidentally sloshed water all over it), SquareTrade responded quickly to my claim. I found their service to be consistently thorough, accountable, and reasonably quick through the entire process. After this incident, I sent an email to my immediate family (about 14 people) recommending that they insure their valuable electronic items with SquareTrade. About two weeks after generating my claim, I received a reimbursement check for the purchase price of the notebook computer.

    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 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.

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

    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 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.

    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.

    I knew my kids were gonna break the tablet at one point in time and I had to get SquareTrade for it. I got it through Walmart. When the tablet wouldn't charge, I made a claim with SquareTrade. I would've been much happier with a replacement instead of cash, but it didn't go that way. They said that I didn't have to return it and they couldn't replace it, so they sent me a check. And it didn't take too long before I got the check.

    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. It has taken months to get things squared away, and things are still not completely resolved. I was lied to and treated rudely. Neither one of my claims is completed, as I am waiting on a refund for a part I was told was fixed, and my accessories were not returned with the refurbished tablet they sent. I can promise I will never buy these protection plans again.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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. This may sound selfish and inconsiderate, but I'm also trying to keep myself available to help sick patients. I wish SQUARETRADE can stand behind the Frontliners fight the battle against the COVID 19 pandemic like everybody else in the country.

    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.

    When I contacted the phone number provided to file a claim and about the problem, I was skeptical. But, they provided me with the instructions needed to file the claim and how to provide the pictures they needed to evaluate my claim. Once I was able to provide them the information and pictures the needed they were quick to respond with what was going to happen next. They wanted me to send my TV back for repairs and that they would end me a box to ship it to the repair location.

    I live in a rural area of New Mexico and it took awhile for the shipping box to arrive, plus it was awhile before I could get help to place the TV into the box. But before we could shipping the TV back it the picture went out completely. Once we got the TV packaged up I found out there was no shipping instructions or shipping label to ship it back. I called the number they had provided earlier and left a message. They got back to me quickly and we discussed the new problem. They then reevaluated the claim and provided me with a new replacement TV of my choosing. The TV was ordered and shipped to me within a week as promised. I am very satisfied, plus they advised me my new TV was covered under the original insurance that I purchased through Walmart for my original TV.

    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.

If there was an electrical issue that they couldn't fix, they should email me a letter saying that they couldn’t fix it and the warranty wouldn’t cover it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Every now and then, electronics are bound to flake out or become faulty for whatever reason. When I purchased a headset and a controller, I also bought SquareTrade to be sure. The headset broke a year after I bought it, so I was dismayed. But I received the money almost the same day that I did the claim. And I bought a new pair.

    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.

    Thank you,

    I had a SquareTrade protection plan for a dehumidifier.

They sent us a check for the dehumidifier, which took about four days. The process was very easy, once I figured out where to go. I wasn’t exactly sure what I had to do. But once I found it on the app, it was very easy to get through.

    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.

    When I bought a Fitbit for my mother on eBay, it allowed me to check the box for SquareTrade if I wanted to add it for that transaction. The cool thing about SquareTrade is you can add it if you want or you don’t have to. They don’t force you to do it. It was added protection for us, which made us more willing to make the purchase. 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.

    SquareTrade was a really good service. They were very prompt in responding, getting things done and having the laptop back to me. Their whole claims process took about a week. My laptop was unable to charge. Moreover, the battery died out and it was unable to start up. Once SquareTrade had done their troubleshooting with me, they emailed me the shipping label and I took the laptop into FedEx and sent it in. They were gonna try and fix it, but if they couldn’t, they would replace it. However, they were able to fix the problem and I got the machine back, which was nice because it still had all my data information on it.

    Having it was really valuable, otherwise, I would have been looking at spending several hundred dollars on a new computer. I had my laptop looked at by somebody before I remembered that I had the warranty. And it would have cost more to fix it than to have it replaced. Instead, I got it back working again, which is so much better for me. I would recommend using them.
