I purchased a washer and the person I was working with told me about Allstate Protection Plans. Filing a claim online was easy. I spoke with a representative and they took care of everything in a timely manner.

I bought an Xbox controller and a headset and got Allstate protection on it from Walmart. I had problems with the controller after a while, so I returned it, and filing the claim was easy, so I’d recommend getting Allstate Protection Plans.

Filing a claim with Allstate was so-so. They were asking me for bunch of things that they should’ve already had on their computer, and when I talked to somebody, they couldn’t understand what I was saying. They needed pictures of the eyeglasses, the receipt, and then something was wrong with the receipt. I got my son’s eyeglasses from Sam’s along with the protection plan since I’ve been going there since he was 4 years old, and I have a relationship with Sam’s. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done that because it takes too much of my time. They need to have something where if I give them my name, a receipt, the last four digits of my Social Security, or my phone number, they should be able to pull up the information.

I have protection plan from Allstate on all my kitchen appliances that I got a couple of years ago including a new washer and dryer I bought a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had to file a claim, the first time I called was for my refrigerator and it wasn’t easy as I thought but on the same call, they were able to send someone out. Later, the lights on my refrigerator went out and they sent someone quickly. They also replaced my ice maker. So, it went very well and I’ve never really had a problem. They also replaced my ice maker.

I have the protection plan on a Straight Talk smartphone I bought from Walmart. My first claim experience with Allstate went really smooth. The online access was great. I didn’t have to speak with a rep. The email for the label came pretty quickly, and they gave 7 to 10 business days to receive the check. It was smooth, straight, and simple.

I needed a shipping label to return a defective product. I was referred to your service regarding this concern. Information i.e. phone number, I.D. number were promptly provided which started me on a rather complicated and stressful journey. The final destination for my returned product was Fort Worth, Texas. Thanks for a good start!!

I use my computer both at home and at my office. I have a dock at both places. When I take my computer to the office, the charger is connected, but after about 5 - 6 hours of use, the battery is down to less than 10% and will shut down if I keep on using it. The battery will charge back to 100% overnight when I shut the computer down or put it to sleep. The rest of the computer functions work great, I just can not do a full day of work with it. The last report, from when I sent it to Square Trade the second time, said the computer passed a 15 minute stress test. They need to do an 8 hour stress test. The computer uses more energy than what the charger provides. I have 2 - 90 watt chargers and 1 - 96 watt charger.

I usually get the Allstate protection plan for my phone. I just bought a new phone. I’m in the process of a claim right now, and I need to send them my old phone. I was being directed to do it online, and when I did try to do it that way, it was saying that I had no products registered. That could be partly my fault and I might not have registered it. It got straightened out when I talked to a person because I was able to give them the number on the receipt, and then we moved forward. My only complaint is I wasn't able to understand the gentleman I talked to at first. Once I understood, it’s been easy. I wish they would do more by the phone in person instead of online, because I get redirected over and over online like a loop. They're a good company. I would still buy their protection plan.

I always get a protection plan so in case something happens, I get my money back or the product replaced guaranteed. I bought an ice machine and got Allstate Protection Plan for it. Submitting the claim in was pretty simple. But it was difficult to get through because it was still covered under manufacturer’s warranty, and I couldn’t get ahold of the manufacturer, so I just called Allstate, and they sent me a check in the mail.

I was disappointed with Allstate. I had a stain on my carpet, but I didn’t get the claim turned in at once because I forgot I had the warranty. When I remembered, I filed a claim online, showed them pictures, followed the instructions to a T, and they rejected it. They said it was an accumulation of stains, and it was only in one spot. It was a waste of money.
Hello Jeffery,

However, this does not include the accumulation of stains over time. Such incidents can be covered by a claim through SquareTrade to prevent further damage to the furniture. While SquareTrade endeavors to assist all our customers, we can only approve claims within the terms of coverage.
However, we were glad to speak with you and reach an amicable resolution for your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

I am extremely disappointed with Allstate’s service. I had an urgent leak from my fridge that caused water damage in my basement and ruined two sections of my dropped ceiling. Despite the urgency, Allstate scheduled my service appointment more than a week later. I spoke with two supervisors, but neither offered any real help or expedited the situation. In the meantime, I had no choice but to shut off the water and go without a functioning fridge for over a week. This kind of delay for an obvious emergency is unacceptable. A company of this size should prioritize urgent cases and provide real solutions, not leave customers to deal with worsening damage. Very poor customer service — they need to take accountability and put customers first.

I purchased Allstate at the location when I was getting the glasses. The lady there informed me about Allstate. I had to file a claim for the glasses and getting into it was difficult for me. My wife helped me in getting the claim filed. It was simple once she did it. It's just if you're not computer-savvy, it's a little difficult to get to where you need to go. You need to take pictures of the glasses, download them to the computer and send them the pictures. I'm sure they did it because they need to see what we were doing, but it's a little difficult process in getting the things filed. Other than that, I had to have the glasses replaced. They sent the payment for that.

Allstate Protection Plans is horrible. I reach out online via email and the claims process is never straightforward. From a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 5. I've had two experiences with this insurance company and it's different every time. One experience was for my AirPods and the other one was for a garbage can I bought that doesn't have a name on it. I bought it last year and it's not a name brand. Allstate is telling me that I can't use the plan until February 28th, when the warranty is up. They told me to call the retailer, but I'm not sure who it is. It's a big run around with that one. They're asking many questions about just one garbage can and I don't understand. I still can't use it.

When the lady from HSN or QVC was selling the product, she asked if I was interested in an Allstate protection plan. She explained it and I purchased the computer together with the plan. What was difficult with putting the claim in was they wanted me to have the receipt of the product. I'm not good with computers and the seller sent the receipt to me via email. I had to get everything together and send it out so that they could see what I had.
Since the product wasn't over a year old, they told me to send it to the manufacturer first. I sent it back to the manufacturer and they told me it was damaged. I didn't know what kind of damage it was. It looked like it might have been water damage. I have small grandkids and they might have gotten some water on it somehow. The manufacturer said it wasn't anything from their end and I needed to contact whoever I purchased it from.
Allstate needs to come up with something that's easy for older people to get the stuff done without doing all this computer stuff. When I got the product back from the company, I didn't send it to Allstate right away because I had to read all the directions, and it says I need to put the power cord in there, and it had to have a certain label to go back on the box that says it has a battery in it. That part for me was a little time-consuming because FedEx is not everywhere. I had to find a FedEx where I can bring it to to ship it off. Then I got it, and they told me I had until the end of the month before the label would be voided, but I had to get the product back from the people that had it first. Once I got back, then I did everything I had to do.
For the most part, everything was good overall. But there was one representative that Allstate has for their service who was excellent to me. She knew that I didn't know a lot of things but she emphasized with me and told me not to pay any money to anybody because I didn't have to. There was somebody else pretending to be Allstate, and they were trying to scam and get money from these people that buy the products and purchases that insurance. She told me Allstate covers whatever damage it is, including water damage.

I had an issue with my dishwasher and I tried to solve it on my own at first. When nothing worked, I submitted a claim online, then I got a call from them. They asked me questions and told me to do the same troubleshooting steps. I actually did all the steps before I contacted them. I also sent a video to the technician. Then he came out and he ordered the part for my dishwasher. When the part came, it was sort of in pieces and the wires were here and there. The technician said it wasn't a satisfactory replacement and I agreed. So, he sent it back. Then, Allstate said they were just going to trash it and send me $898. So, Allstate paid enough to get me a new dishwasher, but they didn't give anything for the cost of the installation.
When my refrigerator went out, I also made a claim on it and they wanted me to replace the part. They were supposed to send me some water filters for my refrigerator if I was able to fix it myself. But it ended up being way more than just a little thing that they thought I could replace. I told them that I didn't feel comfortable doing that and that they needed to send a technician out. So, they did and he had to order a whole bunch of stuff. It ended up that the technician still had to come out and make two trips. But all of the right stuff would have been ordered the first time if they just sent him instead of asking me to do the repair on my own.

I got Allstate Protection Plans, and it was good. The only thing is if I received a new equipment or a replacement equipment, the protection plan wouldn't go towards that equipment. From what I read, once I used the Allstate protection plan to get a new item or replace an item, they said the protection plan is already canceled out. They're replacing or getting me a new item, but how would I get another protection on top of that item that I just got in?
They also couldn't find the item close to the old one which was a failure on Allstate's part. When I went to the same Walmart, they had the same coffee pot for the same price. They had it for $119. Allstate didn't do their research in making sure there was a coffee pot just as I needed. They just gave me a check and I'm expected to buy a cheaper coffee pot that's about $119, not $119 plus tax. The money I received from Allstate didn't include the taxes that I paid for that coffee pot. I paid more than $119 for the item. They need to include the taxes as well of what we paid off.

I went fishing and I caught a fish, but my brand new fishing pole broke. So, I went into Walmart and told them I wanted to replace it. The rep I talked to said that I got to set a claim up because I got the two-year Allstate insurance. She gave me a piece of paper and I did what she told me to do. Allstate got things done really fast because after she had handed me the pamphlet, I submitted the claim online while I was in my car in the parking lot of the Walmart.. They did a text thing to help guide through it, then it was pretty simple after that. Within five minutes or so, they said the claim went through and I was going to get an email with a barcode.
Then I had to wait for the money to get sent to me, then I just walked back into Walmart and bought a more expensive fishing pole. They just scanned my phone inside and it was pretty neat. I still lost money though. I paid 78 for the fishing pole originally and I got 68 from Allstate, so I lost $10 somewhere. But it was not a big deal since I didn't have to put out the full amount for a new one. It was pretty awesome how they have that set up.

I got a protection plan from Allstate for a patio furniture through Wayfair, and it was priced fairly. $50 for five years is worth it. I called the claim in first because I couldn't get into the system to do it online, but the rep directed me back to online. Once I finally got in, it was fairly easy. Allstate didn't agree to replace it. They didn't have the item in stock anymore so they just agreed to refund what I paid for it minus what I paid for the insurance and to have it constructed.

Walmart offered an Allstate plan for a chainsaw that I purchased, so I took it. When I submitted a claim, it was very easy once I got the phone number. I spoke to a representative and the process was very smooth. They gave me a gift card and it was there that day. Allstate is worth it because it's very low-priced and you never know what's going to happen to what you buy. If you need to take it back or it's torn up, you're just out of your money if you don't have insurance.

I've bought a couple of protection plans from Allstate and the best was I bought it for my 2024 Razr phone. It was one of the easiest processes I've had to go through. I accidentally cracked the back glass on it where the camera's at and Allstate quickly took care of it. They did a refund. The only issue was I tried to get a replacement phone in the beginning, but Allstate wouldn't let me do that. They said they were gonna try to find me another phone. If they couldn't, then they'd do the reimbursement which they ended up doing.
I had a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. When my screen went out, Allstate was very good as well. They went through the whole process of finding me somebody to take it to, and they found one about 30 minutes away. I took it to them and it took them about an hour to fix it and I got it back. The way I see it, I pay a fraction of the cost and I'm covered for four years so it's been great. I would recommend Allstate Protection Plans. There may be an issue here or there, but it's more than worth the money. For a $200 phone, it only cost me $30 or $40.

We filed a claim on a chair and made a phone call to Allstate, then the customer service rep set everything up and now we're waiting for a part. It's been a week so far, but they said it could possibly take as long as 14 weeks. I don't like the time frame we got to wait. Plus, it was a virtual inspection. The guy didn't make any tests and just went off based on what we said. I understand what Allstate is trying to do. They're only gonna send a technician out once, but how do they know that the part they ordered is the part that's gonna fix it? They'll come out when we get the part and I also don't know how this is gonna work, if they know that the part has arrived here, then they're gonna send me a technician.

Would highly recommend them on warranty services for high dollar purchases. We purchased a Jenn-Air double oven (very expensive model) and placed a 4 yr extended warranty with them on it. 3 months before warranty was to expire the oven control panel went out. There were no parts available for the oven model was discontinued. Square trade processed our claim quickly and gave us full refund of our purchase price minus taxes and shipping. We expected to have to wait like other companies do for their own techs etc to come out but they didn’t do that. They settled quickly and effortlessly once we got the proper inspection done. Would definitely recommend and continue to use.

My son said that our Nintendo Switch got damaged when he dropped it one day, playing outside with some friends. It was a concreted area, so it scuffed up the plastic of the case and damaged one of the joysticks. At that point, I remembered that I purchased a warranty plan when I got the Nintendo Switch. I had to jump through a bit of hoops, but it was only because I never registered with Allstate when I first purchased. I just threw the receipt in the box. Luckily, it stayed there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a way to get things set up. Allstate required that I get a box and ship the device to them. They gave me the shipping label via email, then I shipped the package out and they had it returned within a couple of business days.
The Nintendo Switch working fine now. I elaborated on the damaged part, but the battery was also messed up because they couldn't get it to charge, so they replaced the battery as well. Now, it powers on. Overall, Allstate Protection Plans is better than another company. I've ordered stuff off of Amazon and they have their own backer. Verizon also uses them. When it came time for me to file a claim for one of my phones using that company, it was a lot more difficult. With Allstate, it was a lot more streamlined versus having to deal with the other company. I'm satisfied.

I bought an iPad for my granddaughter and I got the Allstate plan on it. When she was walking with it and she had the plug in it, she dropped it and the plug broke off into the charging port. We couldn't get it out. So, I thought about it the protection plan and I submitted a claim. Getting the insurance is the best money I ever spent for an eight-year-old.
The claims process was easy once I found out what I needed to do and who to talk to. I initially reached out to Walmart because I bought the plan through them. Once I found it was Allstate, I emailed them. My granddaughter happened to keep the box as well, so I got the box from her, got some bubble wrap, then I had to take it out to FedEx. That was the hardest part because the FedEx is a little further away from my home than the other carriers. Once I got there, it took five days. Then she had the iPad back and she was back in the saddle. I would tell my friends to get an Allstate protection plan and have peace of mind.

This one said they haven't even gotten the repairman's email! BS. He sent the email the day after because he sent it to me too! It's been 2 weeks now that we have a TV that has a HUGE black spot on it AND lines going down the middle. They can't even let me talk to the people who they say "Haven't gotten the repairman's email yet." Get your crap together. I'm so pissed!!!

I was personally contacted by a representative of Allstate. They spoke with me and took my information. I've had my situation resolved to my satisfaction. It was good to know that a company will recognize when a customer is not satisfied and would strive to correct the concerns. Thank you Allstate for your help.

I bought a 86"LG tv from Sam's Club, and got the Alstate protection plan with it. A couple years later half of the tv screen went black. Called the customer service to file a claim. First you can't understand some of the representative, and you have to talk to about 3 people before you get to the right one. Then they give you some of the information, so you have to call back to get more information. Then they want you to take pictures, video, testing. 86" tv mounted to the wall and they want me to take a picture of the serial number on the back. Insane. This has been a nightmare. I will never do this again, and when you get it they make it seem like a smooth process. NOT.

When my Samsung refrigerator's ice maker quit working properly, I asked for a technician to check it out. While he was replacing the main part of the ice maker, he found mold in the water line of the refrigerator at the ice maker. Yikes! He contacted All State and asked me to, as well. Within a week of contacting All State, they informed me that the refrigerator had to be replaced and issued me a full-value check for its replacement. I was amazed at the quick response. I'm glad that the technician found this problem and that I had the appliance policy in place. I am very thankful that All State handled this so responsibly.

I have submitted a claim on 07/16/2025 for a damaged water slide and the motor, that same day I submit photos and receipts through email as requested. No one contacted me. After that I chat with Harrison on 08/13/25 to get status on my claim and he ask me to resubmit photos which I did. Then he said for me to look for a place to take it to fix. I told him I did fixed it several times and it didn't work and ask him about the motor. He didn't listen or care. Then I called and the answer was the same. I don't know what they expect when they insure a water slide. Anything that you may say is wear and tear to them, so what is the benefit of insuring your product.

I had barely even had the lawn chair for long when one of the structural parts cracked. The armrests of the chair went down and weren’t supported. Originally, I was going to return it, and then I remembered that I have the Allstate Protection Plan. I went on and talked to somebody from them to ask how to do it and how it worked because I’ve never done it before. The person walked me through it while I was on the same website. I was able to submit a claim through the website during the call. The website was easy to navigate, besides the fact that the insurance plan was labeled as electronics and stuff, and I had a lawn chair. So I had to put “Other” in the category and explained it as best I could, especially since I didn’t know the name of the piece that broke.
They had different options for the claim, like I can pick this option, and if it’s not for the full amount, then they’ll reimburse me for the remainder. They offered an amount that was lower than the full amount by about five bucks. I thought there would be an option to click for the full amount or to get the remainder, and I couldn’t find one. I went back on the chat, and the person explained that it was part of fees they were taking out, and that’s why that was the amount I got. That part was not explained at all. Since it was only around five bucks, it didn’t seem worth my time to make more of a stink.

Interacting with the representatives was all right.

I purchased an iPhone 11. My granddaughter dropped it and it popped open. So I put the claim in and we took it to the Square Trade, where Allstate Protection Plans told her to take it. Completing the claim was difficult, because I've been trying to do it for three weeks. SquareTrade sent emails. I’m not too good at emails, so I had to get somebody to help me. Once we got the email through, and they sent a number for me to call. Every time I called that number, it kept saying I needed a code, which they never sent on the email. I couldn’t do anything there. Square Trade said that there was something on the inside of the phone that they couldn't fix.
Then, once I got to Allstate and called them, it wasn't difficult at all. I just had to send the phone in. They gave me a printout to take to FedEx, and they said they were gonna fix the phone. If they couldn't fix it, they were gonna send a replacement. But I haven't gotten it back yet. Overall, I am satisfied with Allstate. I also have my vehicles with Allstate.

After the TV gets hot, the volume goes down, it doesn’t matter whether it's internal or external sound. Last night, we were running the TV at 75% of volume just to hear in the room it was in. We went through three hours of troubleshooting, five calls - three with SquareTrade, two with LG, and eventually, a new reconditioned motherboard was sent to the house. A technician came out, put on a new motherboard and it was defective. My TV is still unmounted because it takes three people to mount it, and the problem is not resolved. He said he would call it into SquareTrade, so I’ll give the technician a day to contact Allstate.
I love LG and LG remotes. I don’t want to change brands. I'm that loyal to LG, and I switched every TV in the house to LG. And I trusted SquareTrade and Costco to provide good service and care on this, and I've been quite disappointed ‘cause it's taken quite a long time. They answered the phone, so I will give them that. But this started in May, and I've just been following the procedures that have been given to me. Allstate has dropped the ball on this.

We bought a camera and it came with batteries, so we charged the batteries. And after about a month, the batteries would not stay charged. And then, when they were charged and we would try to scroll through the different options to take a picture, like put the flash on, it wouldn't work.
We purchased new batteries thinking that was the reason but the same thing happened. I purchased the camera for my daughter since it is easier to carry around and she doesn't have a cellphone for pictures and it's just easier for her to carry around. She said she wanted a working camera that she doesn’t have to charge every other day.
When I filed the claim, I wrote down whatever they asked and I responded to it. And within an hour, they already knew if they could replace it or not. And everything just started very quickly after that. They sent an email saying the refund is going to be delayed. I asked for a live check, so it would come by mail and it came quickly. It was a little bit more. It also came with the charger and another battery.
The let us keep the other camera. I tried to take a couple more pictures but it won't even let you scroll through it. The charge, even with the new battery stays for two hours and it's out. And we have not purchased anything new because we've gone to Best Buy and they do not sell digital cameras anymore. I'm going to look on the computer for something again.

I called Costco. And Costco rep gave me a reference number from Allstate. And I called the person at Allstate and told me he's not the right person, and I called back. It took me three days to get the right person to submit the claim. Because what happened, they could not find the policy number. Costco said they emailed it to them. Still, they could not find it.

I had a 65-inch TCL smart TV. It had Roku on it. Friday, it was still working. We didn't watch it the whole next day but in the evening, my husband turned it on, and it wouldn't come on. And so, he tried different outlets. He tried unplugging. He tried different things and it would not come on. It was dead. We even changed batteries in the remote.
I called the Allstate Protection Plan’s number that I had on the email when I purchased it a few years ago and I told them what was going on. We told them we’ve already done troubleshooting it. She then gave me the number for SquareTrade. I also spoke with the rep who said that if nothing is working, SquareTrade will replace the TV with something similar if they can’t find the same one.
I realized my husband and I will be having separate kinds of surgeries in the same week. The guy said we should put in a different delivery address just to make sure that the TV that's going to be delivered is not broken.
I waited and then I got an email from Allstate saying they would refund the money. I said I wanted a TV because that was what we were told and what we expected. We emailed back and forth and he said they cannot find a TV similar to mine. I said I did a two-second search and there are plenty in my area. It may be a newer model, but has the same specifics. It was around $100 more than my TV. I insisted we need a TV.
The guy explained to me that in the disclaimer it says they will pay if they can’t find a comparable unit. Although I found some in my area, they can’t find the model from their suppliers. It should come from their suppliers because they will be responsible if it gets delivered damaged. We were under the impression from what we were told that we're getting a TV. Since we were going around about it, I told him, 'Well, you do what you gotta do. If you guys send me money, then send me the money. And I'll do what I gotta do.”
After my surgery, I didn't see anything. I emailed to follow up. I told them I haven’t received anything so they decided to void and reissue the check. I have to wait another six business days to see if it comes in.
I was an unhappy consumer, with the way it was handled and based on what I was told.I spent 45 minutes on the phone with them, plus back-and-forth emails that felt like generalized responses. They were not handling me fairly. Be leery when getting Allstate Protection Plan. You may not get what you think you're getting.

SquareTrade always strives to offer repair and replacement solutions as our top priority, and a reimbursement is provided when the initial options are unavailable. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of these solutions depends on several factors, such as the cost of repair, the purchase price of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the coverage limits of the plan, and so on.

They are refunding my deductible (supposedly..we will see). I asked if they are replacing my phone, they said they would email me in 24-48 hours to let me know if they are replacing it. A waste of money for insurance because they just don't care, they don't do what they say and so far have not proved to me that insurance works on this.

I get a call back from a different appliance repair company stating that there was a mixup with scheduling and that they would try to have someone work me in this afternoon, it couldn’t guarantee it and they would call me back in morning to confirm if it did or not. No one showed up. I called around noon to that new # for the appliance repair and told them about what happened. We rescheduled for 7/30/25 between 8-12. No one showed up. I called shortly after noon, told her that and she said she would call tech to see what was going on. Tech immediately called me and said that he would be here in about 20 minutes.
He (John **) arrived, come in and assessed washer with testing and stated that my washer was fried. It won’t even turn on. He took pictures and sent them in with explanation to the office he works for, telling them that he couldn’t fix the washer as it was fried and that I needed a new washer. He also told me that he doesn’t get paid if he can’t fix what he was sent out to do-I think that is BS. What if the machine is broken/fried, as he calls it and can’t be fixed. He did the service call, he should still be paid. I expect a new washer machine as mine is under warranty and it’s fried as he calls it. John was very nice and very forthcoming with what he was saying. He told me like it was. John ** sent all the pictures you need. I expect a new washer machine as I have a warranty on it.

They outright denied that the problem was with the printer and absurdly suggested I just use the printer more often, despite me clearly explaining that I have nothing to print and that doing so would just waste ink and money.

The extended warranty came in when my son a refrigerator-freezer for our Arizona home. The plan was put in place back in May 2021, but it wasn't until recently that it was actually put to use. Unfortunately, when problems began with the unit, having an appliance warranty turned out to be unexpectedly difficult, largely because the warranty was managed through SquareTrade.
From the very beginning, I encountered issues. SquareTrade’s assistance was complicated by the fact that the appliance had originally been bought by my son at Costco using his Costco credit card. The convoluted process of submitting a claim required numerous calls and back-and-forth emails along with the sharing of seemingly trivial details like photographs from every angle of the appliance. Interaction was usually confined to automated systems or chats, making it an uphill battle for anyone needing help, especially someone not very tech-savvy like me.
SquareTrade insisted on repeatedly asking irrelevant questions and demanded documentation like contracts and receipts, which was frustrating given the age of the purchase. Fortunately, Costco's concierge service swiftly stepped in, offering invaluable help in providing necessary details and acting as a liaison in what was otherwise a daunting reclamation journey. Despite their commendable assistance, SquareTrade openly dismissed Costco’s submissions and assistance.
Someone from Costco sent me an email, and said, "We have contacted SquareTrade, and they should have everything they need, and you should be good to go, and you will be hearing from somebody." I don't know what they did, but they spoke with somebody and settled it. They said, "Now, you have a claim, and somebody's going to be coming out."
With no choice, I had to cover the upfront repair costs amounting to over $1200. For context, the initial estimate stood at $1200—if not for a seasoned technician from the regional GE service determining that fewer parts were actually needed. While I was eventually reimbursed thanks to GE’s diligent billing department and submission of all required documentation, the reimbursement process alone spotlighted flawed operations—nothing resembling the supportive experiences normally expected of warranty providers.
Additionally, we faced challenges with the company’s unrealistic food spoilage reimbursement demands. The refrigerator issue wound up to be a Freon leak. So, things were thrown out over the two-month period of time. It wasn't we came home and everything was rotten and we threw it away. Plus, even if we had, I wouldn't have had receipts. I figured, "Okay, that's $300 I'm out." That's what Allstate offered. I sat down and made an itemized list, and we had meats, had frozen things, and it added up. But I'm not going to pursue it because what they want is not realistic. It's unsound for customers to undergo continual looped labors or substantial financial risk to exercise warranty coverage.

I picked an Allstate protection plan when purchasing my lawn mower from Walmart, thinking it would offer a seamless warranty service. Unfortunately, this wasn’t quite the case. The main issue arose when I encountered a problem with the lawn mower. Although the batteries were charged extensively, the mower failed to operate effectively. This was puzzling given that the equipment was only used twice before being stored properly for the winter.
Filing a claim wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped. The process was somewhat cumbersome since I have a condition that affects my short-term memory. Navigating the online claim system and being directed to contact the manufacturer instead of dealing directly with Allstate was unexpected and added unnecessary complexity. I expected a smoother process when I bought the warranty through Walmart, thinking they'd manage everything.
Despite these challenges, once I connected with a helpful representative, she assisted in issuing a gift card to replace the mower. Although I had to pay a bit extra as the original model wasn't available, it was a satisfactory conclusion to the ordeal.
If I were to rate the overall claims process, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Initially, the service was frustrating, but the assistance from the later representative was commendable. Moving forward, it would be beneficial for Allstate to clearly inform customers about the need to engage with manufacturer warranties initially, which would prevent the trouble of bouncing between service providers.

I had the opportunity to use Allstate Protection Plans for my Oculus virtual reality headset. My issue with the device was that it wasn’t charging properly. I suspected the problem was with the charging port due to frequent use. To start the claim process, I ended up calling them after finding my paperwork on the refrigerator. The process itself was straightforward and easy.
When I got my headset back, it was a bit of a disappointment because while they mentioned it was fixed, the charging issue persisted; my VR headset would charge only once and not reliably. I had to resort to using a wireless charging dock instead. Sadly, there was no replacement offered or clear explanation of what was repaired, which left me unimpressed with that aspect of the service.
Overall, the claim process itself was excellent, but the repair outcome didn’t meet my expectations. Still, I would encourage others to give Allstate Protection Plans a try.

The claim process with Allstate was a bit complex, especially logging onto the website, uploading necessary photos for proof, and obtaining a receipt as evidence of purchase. Although the resolution eventually came through, which took about two weeks, more immediate notifications during the process would have been greatly beneficial. An automated message system letting me know things like when the claim is ready for action would have simplified matters significantly.
Despite having to log in multiple times to check the claim process, in today’s tech-forward world, receiving an instant alert seems achievable. I ended up needing to contact customer service to resend an email that should've arrived initially. But at least the customer service I eventually chatted with was very helpful. Ultimately, the procedure ate up more of my time than anticipated, leading me to view it somewhat unfavorably.

My refrigerator's water filter wouldn't come out, despite all guidance suggesting it should just pop out with a light push. I was hesitant to force it or use tools for fear of causing damage, having already collected a couple of spare filters that I couldn't install. So, I made a claim with Allstate and lucky enough, the technician who came out was extremely helpful. He demonstrated that the filter needed a firm tap to dislodge it, which was not how it was depicted online. Additionally, my ice maker was malfunctioning, alternating erratically between crushed ice and solid cubes. The tech quickly replaced the faulty ice maker as well.
Prior to switching to Allstate, the claim process with the previous provider was cumbersome—they expected upfront payment for the technician with reimbursement later, which seemed unfair given the warranty purchase. However, with Allstate, everything was smooth. They handled the claim efficiently without any unforeseen costs, which is what I'd anticipated when purchasing the warranty.

On a positive note, submitting a claim was straightforward. You simply go online, submit the claim, and follow their instructions on where to send the item. Overall, the process was smooth.
Even though my recent experience was not entirely satisfactory, I've used the service twice; they got it right the first time. So, I'd rate the overall service a 4 out of 5, mainly due to the issue I faced this time around.

I purchased Allstate, along with my refrigerator, from Walmart. Initially, I was under the impression that I could claim up to $50 per year for refrigerator filters. However, I only received $25 instead of the expected amount. This discrepancy left me feeling somewhat disappointed, as it was not what I had anticipated when I signed up.
The reimbursement process itself for the filters wasn't straightforward initially. I needed guidance the first time around, and the process could be simplified for the average consumer.
Overall, due to my experience of receiving less reimbursement than expected and the complexity of the claim submission, I would rate my satisfaction with the Allstate Protection Plans as low. While the customer service is available, processing claims should be more intuitive for users like myself who might be handling various daily tasks.

I would still recommend Allstate Protection Plans to others since they eventually resolved the issue, and having coverage is reassuring. Just be prepared for a potentially lengthy resolution process if something does go wrong.

I bought the Allstate Protection Plan when purchasing a refurbished portable air conditioner on eBay as it was provided as an option. Unfortunately, after I had to make a claim, the process didn't go as expected. The air conditioner failed within the coverage period, and Allstate advised me to find a repair shop. However, no shop could service it. When I reached out to the manufacturer, communication was lacking since the product wasn’t under their warranty.
Later, Allstate agreed to replace the unit with another refurbished one, as my original purchase was also refurbished. My wife and I disposed of the faulty unit, assuming the process was straightforward. However, I was informed afterward that pictures of the serial number and the unit itself were needed for the claim. Because I'd already discarded it, the claim was declined.
Overall, the follow-up communication and requirements from Allstate came too late in the process. I didn’t end up with a working replacement, just a frustrating email chain.
Hello Scott Luce,
We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced with your recent 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 we do not cover when the item is no longer in possession during the claim. In this case, the protection plan obtained was a Standard Plan, and it was reported that the item is no longer in your possession. We are sorry about the frustration regarding this.
We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and provide additional support regarding your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

I filed a claim to Allstate for my ice maker that suddenly stopped producing ice. After purchasing it via Walmart, I tried to file a claim as advised. Their user interface on the Walmart site allowed me to track warranties, which seemed straightforward initially.

I purchased an Allstate Protection Plan when I bought a scooter from Walmart. Overall, my experience was quite positive as Allstate managed the claim efficiently. Unfortunately, since the scooter was purchased on clearance, they couldn't replace it with an equivalent adult scooter; they kept offering a child's scooter instead. In the end, we received a refund, which was satisfactory.
The claim process was neither too difficult nor particularly easy—it was average. One challenge I faced was that one of the contact numbers provided led me to a Medicare claims place rather than the scooter manufacturer. This caused some initial confusion and delay, as I had to speak with multiple people to resolve the issue. Updating contact details and providing clear, consistent customer support could significantly improve the experience for future clients.

I would give negative stars if it was an option! I purchased a Bosch dishwasher from Home Depot along with a 5-year protection plan from SquareTrade (Allstate Protection Plans). When the dishwasher failed just over two years later, I filed a claim and followed every step they asked — including three separate technician visits. Each time, the issue was diagnosed as a motherboard failure. But instead of resolving it, SquareTrade kept sending unprogrammed replacement parts, leaving me without a working dishwasher for over six weeks.
Then — after the third visit, which triggered their own "No Lemon Policy" (meant to guarantee a replacement after 3 failed repairs) — they suddenly voided my claim due to a technician noting new rodent droppings that were never present during the first two visits. This was clearly a tactic to avoid reimbursing me under the lemon policy. I provided detailed documentation, appealed the denial, and followed up multiple times — no one responded. SquareTrade/Allstate is using irrelevant excuses to deny legitimate claims and is not honoring their own warranty terms. I’ve now filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the California Department of Insurance, and the Department of Consumer Affairs. If you’re thinking about buying a protection plan from SquareTrade or Allstate — don’t. You’ll pay for coverage they have no intention of delivering when it matters.

I purchased a laptop and was concerned about potential failures or breakages, so I purchased an Allstate plan for it. It was the only option available when I made my purchase online. When I needed to file a claim, it was a bit challenging due to multiple transfers and about three phone calls just to get connected to the right person. Also, I interacted with someone who might have been located abroad, which caused a slight language barrier. Despite this minor hiccup, the overall quality of service I received was commendable and once I managed to speak with the appropriate representative, everything went smoothly and efficiently.

I purchase Allstate Protection Plans for almost everything that is over $100. It was only recently that I had to file a claim. The process was impressively straightforward! Allstate emailed me a shipping label, and once I boxed up my item and dropped it off at FedEx, they kept me informed every step of the way. They notified me once they received the item and provided an ETA for its return. Unfortunately, when the item came back, it still wasn't functioning. I reached out to them again, and though unsure if it was a new claim or a reopened one, Allstate was prompt in their response. They messaged me notifying of a delay due to a parts issue and ultimately decided to replace my item as they couldn't fix it.
The ease of filing a claim was astounding; I'd unquestionably recommend Allstate for this alone. Generally, I set up my plan online but had questions about a missing serial number on my Apple AirPod Max, so I called, and they completed everything seamlessly over the phone. Their customer service was nothing short of excellent. The protection cost was evidently well worth it, given Apple required an amount nearing a new purchase to replace my daughter’s headsets when they malfunctioned.

I purchased a Samsung TV hoping for a good experience, but it has consistently failed to hold a channel despite using boosters, splitters, and antennas to improve the signal. This issue led to numerous exchanges with the manufacturer, Allstate Protection Plans and Walmart. Sadly, neither the manufacturer nor Allstate has resolved my claim issues satisfactorily, leaving me in limbo after sending in my information about 3-4 days ago without any feedback.
I wanted to keep the television because, at my age, you don't like moving stuff around. So, I tried everything they told me to try to keep the television, but it just simply would not function. I ended up working with Walmart, who was kind enough to exchange the TV even after purchasing additional recommended items that did not solve the original problems. My frustration lies not in the TV not working, but rather with the manufacturers and warranty services shirking responsibility or, in Allstate's case, being slow to respond. Meanwhile, Walmart has shown exceptional customer service, managing to listen to my concerns and facilitate a smoother exchange process for the TV itself.
I'm not upset with Allstate. I used to have their car insurance. But I am now only seeking reimbursements from Allstate for the costs incurred in transporting the TV for the replacement and the unused portion of the exchange policy. The customer service people are very nice.

So, I was just hoping to hear back to get some of my money refunded because I'm on a fixed income.

Allstate Protection Plans conveniently popped up as an option while I was shopping on eBay for my mini computer. It's clear that Allstate is eBay's main choice for insurance, which influenced my decision.
I am confident I would choose Allstate again for future purchases. Setting up the protection was a breeze, earning a top-rating from my experience. My online journey with Allstate was also impressive. The website was straightforward and flexible, allowing me to get assistance via phone or personal contact.
Overall, the navigation was seamless, a feature that appeals to me greatly. If I had to quantify my experience, it would hit the mark effortlessly, reflecting in my high rating for both their service and pricing.

My VR’s screen was broken and I appreciated the swift online process with Allstate for submitting the claim. Remarkably, the fix was quicker than I anticipated. I initially thought they would need to source parts, causing delays. They responded promptly, providing the necessary details, and even issued a mailing label right away. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, which was a relief. I'm completely satisfied with their service and would definitely recommend it.

The item that I purchased the plan for, my last one, it was for my electronic toothbrush. Given the cost of these devices, which can easily start at $60, I felt it was necessary to have some form of protection in place. Recently, I had an issue when my toothbrush stopped powering on. To address this, I submitted a claim through Allstate's online portal, where all claim information is managed, and receipts are uploaded. In my opinion, the process was straightforward and not particularly challenging, as long as you have your receipt ready. Once my claim was approved, Allstate provided me with an email containing a gift card. While I did have to add about $25 to $30 to purchase a new toothbrush, it was still quite helpful. Overall, I had a positive experience and feel confident recommending Allstate Protection Plans to my friends and family.

While they are offering to replace my air conditioner I have covered, the problem is the way they are doing it. I have a 10,000 btu ac and when it broke I filed a claim which was approved.

The webpage they sent me was outdated. So I couldn't pick it. I tried calling their number 6 different times and it will not let you talk to someone regardless of what they say. If you choose what's happening they will hang up or the computer will just go silent. The people you chat with on the pop up chat literally do nothing except say email the company.

Some warranties make it way harder to file a claim than it is to just buy the item again. And honestly, it’s starting to look a lot like what’s coming down the pipeline for anyone relying on government assistance under the Trump-backed agenda to boost billionaire wealth.
Here’s what I was required to provide just to start my warranty claim:
1. A valid item receipt. The receipt or invoice must include ALL the following:Retailer's name
- Retailer's contact information
- Item description
- Item purchase price
- Item purchase date
2. A clear, unobstructed photo of your entire item. The photo must include:- All edges of the item
- The date and time you took the photo should be handwritten on a piece of paper. Make sure the time-stamped paper does not cover the item in any way.
- Item purchase price
- Item purchase date
3. A photo of the serial number on the item
4. A photo of all visible damage on the item
"Once we receive this information, we can process your claim."
At this point, I felt like I was applying for a passport, a security clearance, and maybe a background check to replace a vacuum. Now imagine this same type of red tape applied to your groceries, rent assistance, or medical benefits. That’s the direction we’re heading. Bureaucratic hoops designed to wear you down, delay help, and quietly push people out of the system. Some warranties and some policies aren’t built to protect you.

I purchased a Square Trade (Allstate) protection plan for a $2500 ice maker (outdoor kitchen). This was a 5-year plan for around $400. The ice maker stopped working at about one year, and I did my best to trouble-shoot. I hired (3) different appliance techs, and purchased (3) different water control valves (per their guidance)....and nothing worked. Water just kept flowing from the back of the tray. I then contacted Square Trade. Wow. I was passed along (4) times to a so-called specialist, who made me repeat the same information to a specialist, etc.. I asked to speak to a supervisor after about an hour and that went nowhere. I filled out the claim form online, submitted my case, and included invoices of my attempted repairs.
I actually called the tech department of the manufacturer of the ice maker, and this guy told me my problem could not be fixed. It was a defective unit at this point. I provided this information to Square Trade, and that went nowhere. I contacted them again via email...and that has gone nowhere. This is no way to run a company who is supposed to provide protection via a contract with consumers. I now own an ice maker ($2500) that doesn't work, along with coverage ($400) that also doesn't work. 0 for 2.

Not a great experience, but not a bad one either. So I'll start with the bad. Initially purchasing this product (warranty plan) I was under the impression that if something went wrong I'd be receiving an identical product exactly like the one I purchased. But that's not the case. I was given 2 options. Fix it at my cost up front which could take weeks and then submit the receipts for reimbursement (no way I paid for a replacement warranty) or to choose from the options given. The options I was given were significantly less in value and no where near the same as what I bought, but would take 2-3 business days to receive the new water dispenser so I reluctantly chose that route. Then when I picked the one closest to the value that I had, then I received an email saying they switched my claim to reimbursement only because now the option I chose was conveniently no longer in stock (go figure).
After waiting a few days, I then had to sign some affidavit confirming what I had already said in my claim (really stupid and delayed the process even longer) which I did. Now I'd be given 2 options a Walmart gift card (2-3 business days) or a check (7-10 business days). Started this process on june 27th so it's already been about a week at this point of waiting. So I chose the gift card.
Finally today I got the e gift card and go online to find a replacement bottom loader water dispenser. And low and behold my exact water dispenser with coffee maker was available. But now it's a little more expensive then when I bought it. So basically because the price went up for the exact same item I had, that wasn't an option to replace it with what I actually bought. So now I was forced to buy something from what was available that was comparable and spend more for it.
Come to also find out, this is a one time replacement/reimbursement warranty. So the 3 years I purchased that had over and a half year left on it, is now completely done. And I now had to purchase a new 3 year warranty when most of these dispensers only last about 2 years before they stop working. So all in all I'm not very happy with this experience. Glad I was able to get some help with the replacement, but the warranty process and how they actually replace/reimburse you seems like a scam as I feel that the replacement should be exactly what I initially purchased regardless of cost. Especially if that item is available.
Hello Joshua Gloria,
We apologize for any dissatisfaction with your recent experience with us.
SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and a reimbursement is offered when the initial options are not available. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our customers up to the amount spent on the item. The availability of the resolutions is based on several factors, such as the cost of the repair, the purchase amount of the device, whether we can source a comparable replacement item within the coverage limits of the plan and so on.

It is 12 months later and I cannot get a refund. Allstate stole $96 from me! Horrible policy to not refund me my money on a phone I never had...

Bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 refurbished with Allstate Warranty. Very bad decision. The device failed in about 45 days, seller refused the return even though it was within the 90 day window advertised. I filed a claim and Allstate refused saying that it was obviously defective when I bought it. A total waste of time even filing. I will never bother with this again. It's the same reason I changed car insurance 50 years ago, Sorry, sorry company in my experience.

I got Allstate because I always buy the protection plan for my kids and my granddaughters. It's good. It'll help you out with certain things. I recently filed a claim for an Oculus 3, which I bought for my son for Christmas.
My son was playing the game and he always wears the arm strap. So that the joystick doesn't go flying across the room. He's really good about using that. When he was playing, the string of the joystick came off. And the joystick flew against the wall.
He couldn't get it to work after that. And so, he asked me if I bought the warranty and I said yes.Well, I looked for where I had it registered. I pulled it up. I put in what had happened, and then I submitted it.
I got an email back asking me to mail the product to the company. And so, I did. They said it usually takes two to five business days. And so, I was okay with that.
Since I've gotten the replacement or the plans for any product that's electronic or something that's fairly expensive, I've never ever had a problem. I've always had good responses, and I have always had things come back in a timely manner.
But when I was checking on the tracking, it had a little caption saying my item's been delivered. And it was received by M. Hooper. But there's nobody here by that name, and I haven't got the product. This was the first time. And so, that worried me.
So, I called all the numbers that I thought were available and I wasn't getting any help. I emailed SquareTrade, because that's where it goes. And I said I have a situation. I explained what happened. This is a very expensive product, and I need to make sure that I get that back.
I didn't hear anything that very same day. But the next day, I got an email from SquareTrade saying that they were sorry for the confusion. But my item was still at the shop being repaired. And it hasn't been sent back home to me because they're waiting on a part.
I've kept track of it since it's been there. And I got an email yesterday or I pulled up the tracking. It said my item will be here by Wednesday between 8:00 and 2:00, I believe. So, that's today.
I'm very dissatisfied with this one-time incident. So, I always tell others to buy the protection plan to make sure they have the protection.

I got Allstate because I have a small child, and I figured it'd be a good idea to go ahead and get the protection plan because I have a small child. Well, I say small, but he's a rambunctious teenager. They explained it, for the most part, at the location. I bought it at Big Lots.
This was the first one filing a claim at Allstate. It was for a recliner. I did it all online, and I had to upload a video and some pictures. And it was pretty smooth and simple, actually.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find the one I had in stock. So, they cut me a check, which was for what I paid for it. But at the same time, it wasn't enough to buy another chair because that chair was on sale at the time. Now, I have to come out of pocket on top of it. It was off by 100 bucks.
There was a lot of questioning after I entered the claim. They should probably ask all the questions upfront, because I entered the claim and they said they want video after I sent them pictures.

Thursday comes and the repair person shows up anyway ‘cause he never got the message. It didn't get delivered until Friday afternoon.

When I paid for the added warranty coverage for my new tv, I was not informed about the lack of physical coverage. I hung my tv on the wall from day one and I had help hanging it. I was very careful unpacking the tv and hanging it on the wall. Then one day, about 3 months after receiving the tv, I turn it on and there is a black spot in the lower right side of the screen with several lines going out of the black spot running vertically to the top of the tv. I file a warranty claim with the manufacturer and was denied and did the same with Allstate and was denied. All I was asking was a replacement tv, but because I was denied, I am now paying for a tv I can’t watch. Therefore, I will not recommend to anyone to buy the extended warranty and you need to make it clear that you don’t cover physical damage.

I’ve got two electric Razor scooters. They were bought the exact same day and the exact same time as a gift for my 15-year-old and my 8-year-old boys. When I got to the cash register, they told me that I can buy a three-year extended warranty for 20 something dollars. I’ve never bought a warranty through Walmart before so I questioned it to begin with. Because of the nature of knowing that these have batteries in them, which I’m not a huge fan of, I thought I might as well get the warranty just in case these things don’t hold up.
My oldest son’s scooter lasts about a mile, and then it’s dead. It won’t go full speed. I filed a claim for it with Allstate.My younger son’s is not as bad, but I’ll probably end up filing a claim on it as well because it goes about three miles and then it goes dead. But it’ll still go almost full speed. It goes 14 miles an hour where they’re supposed to go 15. But my older son’s may go like 10 miles an hour.
The claim process went extremely smooth. I had to provide the receipt which I have filed with anything that has a warranty. I did it all online and it was fine. They seemed to be pretty responsive as far as sending out emails and keeping me up to date.

I’m very satisfied with Allstate Protection Plans and I’ve always told my friends to use them.

They’re also very good at handling your claim.
I always do a protection plan now because a long time ago when my daughters were young, I bought them some big ticket items and they broke. I was told by somebody else that I should’ve put the insurance on them. So after that, I started putting insurance on things that I have. When I go to Walmart, they always ask if I want the protection plan and I always accept it.
I had purchased a TV before which eventually went out. At first, I was getting a runaround. I filed the claim online and they kept saying to call. There was a miscommunication as they couldn’t understand what I was saying. But I finally got it done. They fulfilled and did everything that needed to be done right quickly.
