Original review: Oct. 24, 2022

I'm not happy at all with Allstate. They are supposed to be covering my warranty on my couch and loveseat. When I contacted them and told them that the stitching is coming out of the one arm on the chair on the loveseat, they were not happy. They were rude and informed me that because it's still under factory warranty, that Allstate doesn't kick in until a year after, and for me to contact the store. It just wasn't in a nice fashion and then they closed my claim. When I contacted Big Lots, I was told that I have to return the couch in order to have it fixed or repaired or replaced at my cost.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Becky,

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

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

We appreciate you taking the time to review us and we hope to provide a better experience in the future.

I have three items insured with Allstate. This was my first time filing a claim. When I went online, my order wasn’t on the website. I had other things on my claim. I had to put in my order number for it to show that I bought the protection plan. But it wasn’t their fault.

Original review: Oct. 21, 2022

I have two claims with Allstate. One was a lawn mower and one was a Dyson vacuum cleaner. The mower just wouldn't start. As for the vacuum, it wouldn't stay running. It was a battery vacuum and after about two minutes, it would shut off. I called Allstate and it was difficult to get through. They ran me through a bunch of things. I had to take a picture of the receipt and send them to it. It took a good 40 minutes to get the claim processed and finally talk to somebody. That was pretty much the experience for both claims and that wasn't enjoyable. Had it been 15 minutes with a call, that would have been fine. They wanted me to do it online and I have not found that to be incredibly helpful in the past. I like talking to a human being so that was challenging with Allstate.

Overall, it wasn't the worst experience but it wasn't where it needs to be with customer service. Customer service in the last couple years has gone way down no matter who I call. It just seems like I can't get anybody on the phone. In the end, my vacuum cleaner is on its way back and Allstate supposedly fixed it. As for my mower, they said it wasn't something that was covered. It was a clogged carburetor and my gas was bad. I can understand that.

My experience with them went very well. The customer service was good and I appreciated that and their follow-through. The last time I contacted them, there was an issue with the charger or the port on the computer of my daughter. They told me the quickest way was to buy a charger and if it works, they'll reimburse me the money. The check came pretty quickly. The service was worth it. I purchased it for the laptop of my daughter. This is the second time I had to get it looked at. The first time was pretty much the same thing. They sent a box out, I sent it in. Within a week, I knew what was wrong with it and what they were doing. They sent it back and the laptop was fixed.

Whenever I'm playing a game, my XBox would stop reading the disc. The problem has been progressively getting worse to the point where it shuts down the Xbox. I tried to do the claim online but the system was not giving me the option I needed. Once I called in, I had no problem. The rep I spoke with was good. Allstate is a good insurance. The only thing that would make it better would be a physical place to bring my device rather than mailing it in and being without it for two weeks.

For the past 2 months this company has been giving me the run around. I have giving them all they had asked for. My tv started out with a line on the bottom of the tv. They asked for pictures and videos. The csr barely speak English. They do mainly all of the communication via email. I kept asking for someone to call me they will not. Every time I will call they treated me like it was the first time I was calling they kept asking for more pictures and more videos I have emails to prove all of this. Finally my tv stopped working they wanted to do a diagnostic on a non working tv, they wanted more videos with the tv on.

After I told them and showed them the tv doesn’t work. The tv is mounted has been since I bought it. No small children or animals in the house. I am barely home. At this point I had enough. I kept asking what else do you want. Since I was rude to them they decided that I self inflicted a physical damage to the tv and they aren’t paying me for a new tv. I called a lawyer today to sued them for wasting my time and the aggravation they put me thru for 2 months. Never ever buy this warranty protection again. You will avoid the frustration and time wasted. Is not like they going to cover you for anything. They had no issue taking my money when I bought the warranty but had a lot of issues paying up.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Wanda,

We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration faced during your recent claim.

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

At this time, one of our specialists has reached out to you to address this matter and to provide additional support.

Thank you,

JS

Updated on 10/12/2022: I wrote a review on 10/6/22 regarding poor service from this company. The next day I received a note that someone would contact me regarding the problem. Today 10/11 I received an email stating they tried to verify my repair receipt but the phone number was invalid. Turns out they called someplace called Fix4Less....I never heard of this company before. I promptly resubmitted all my documents again for the 4th time. Allstate is terrible and I will never purchase a Allstate-SquareTrade protection for any of my electronics again! Be aware.

Original Review: My HP All in one PC needed repairs. I asked for a local company to do the repairs instead of shipping it across the country. When I submitted my repair receipt for reimbursement, they wrote back that the receipt appears altered.... I don't know why, it's clear has a date and the name of the company. Now when I write to the Square Trade I can't get an answer as to why it was rejected. Each time I get a reply it's from someone who states the basics of how to get a repair. I chatted with a rep and that person can't find a record. He gave me a phone number to call but can only get a message to use the website. Terrible website, terrible customer service. I don't think they want to pay the claim. SquareTrade used to be a good company - No Longer!!! I will never purchase another warranty from them!!!

Although the claim was submitted and even though the purchase was pre-registered I STILL was asked to submit my original receipt. Once that was done, the claim was promptly paid, but why pre-register a product for warranty purposes when the claimant is required to duplicate the info before the claim is executed?

They approved my claims, sent me e-gift cards and when I went to the store, the gift cards did not work. How embarrassing. When I contacted them, twice, because no one responded after the first agent said they would refer the matter higher, they sent me an email asking for my receipts, pictures and other things I no longer had because my claim was approved.

I let them know that after the approval, I got rid of the items and that my receipt was of course on their website, it’s how I filed the claim. I told them I expected they would reissue new gift cards. They sent me back the exact same email I received the first time, word for word, asking for my receipt and pictures of the item. They are probably not going to handle this. And I’m not happy because I have a lot of warranties through them, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be doing that in the future.

I purchased a Gaming Chair from Amazon.com. They offered an extended warranty thru Allstate Protection Plans (DBA Square Trade Inc), for $ 29.95, which I purchased. Two years into the three year coverage, the hydraulic lift cylinder failed. I accessed the online claim site and filed a claim. They responded by email requesting photos of the damage. I answered back that I could not photograph the damage because it was an internal failure. Again they requested photos, again I answered that I could not photograph the damage because it was an internal failure. At this point I called the SquareTrade toll free phone number (which I should have done in the first place). After a 5 minute phone conversation, they issued me a full refund on the purchase price of the chair. I am pleased with the outcome.

Normally I do not purchase product warranty insurance. The price was right for this Walmart online buy, so I did this time.. The product failed after 30 months. I had no knowledge of how to file a claim. I went back to my initial purchase information. It was very intuitive going through the process. The online claim pages could be cleared up a little, but they were not unworkable. Very important - save your original order paperwork, have your serial number of your product handy (take a picture of the product nameplate).

This place is a racket. They seem to do whatever they can to avoid remitting payment on their protection plans. I purchased a protection plan for an expressomaker. The product needed repair after the expiration of the factory warranty period and while the protection plan was active. They indicated that I needed to find (my time and effort) a 'local repair center' to repair the item, and I would be reimbursed 'within one business day' after submitting my repair receipt. It has now been over a month, and I still have not received reimbursement in spite of contacting SquareTrade over 7 times. The latest excuse is that the repair needed to be 'verified', even though I provided a receipt (showing my payment of the charge to the repair shop). Life is too short to deal with untrustworthy businesses.

How could a tablet be compared to a 50" tv? Why is that my claim was done for 2 tablets and all the info that I gave was about tablets that my tablets were sent back because they weren't a 50"? Never made a claim to a tv. You guys sent me the label and put a warranty that wasn't even claimed into it making it a total rejection when it arrived.

Bought a rug at NFM along with a $750 Allstate Protection plan. A month after delivery, the dog had an accident and stained the rug. We called Allstate, they sent a cleaner which we tried to no avail. They sent a professional cleaner who stated it could not be cleaned. Allstate has no denied the claim. Been at this for 7 weeks and nothing but the run around. Next step is to file a grievance with BBB and NFM and then we plan to cancel our Homeowners insurance with said company. Absolutely cannot recommend this company and those retailers who offer them up should move toward a new benefit.

The claims process is easy once an account is set up. I sent the laptop with the mailing label that Allstate/SquareTrade provided. Got an email saying they received it on 8/10. On the website, it is stated most repairs completed in 2-5 bus days. We record the repaired laptop 8/26, so it took a few more than 5 bus days to fix, but all in all, very timely. My biggest complaint is there is little communication after email saying they received the laptop. There is no customer service phone number provided. You must chat with a bot, then an assumed person. Sometimes frustratingly.

My tv lost picture but had audio. I submitted a claim with the cash register receipt provided by Sam's Club. I was informed the receipt was inadequate.. I went to the store and was provided a receipt in a different format. Upon submitting that receipt I was instructed, by phone to perform a series of tests taking 48 minutes. Then instructed to send photos of the serial number, the screen in the off position and an additional photo of the screen on the on position. The claim was paid but for an amount of $28.61 less than the purchase price. I called and inquired why and was told “we saved you the cost of returning the TV”. I told the agent that information is not disclosed in any of the written warranty information.

I'll keep it short - I have a certified refurbished laptop purchased from eBay in January of this year. It has an Allstate Protection Plan through January of 2024. One of the USB ports broke and I cannot use it, so I had to send it in for repair. I was told 2-5 days after they received it I should expect it back. They've had it 4 days now - and I've been without it for 6. No update from them beyond that they'd received it 4 days ago. I chat today and I'm told they need parts to repair and they won't arrive until Aug 29. If it takes 2-5 days to repair at that time I can expect it back somewhere around Sept 2-6, which will mean I'll have been without it for 2 1/2-3 weeks. This is my laptop, which I use for work and personal stuff every day. That's unacceptable - they need to stock adequate replacement parts, replacement units, or pay for a replacement. It's not complicated. Buyer beware.

Allstate treated me okay when I did a claim though I lost a little bit more than I thought I might have. They subtracted the cost of the program off of the refund of the product but overall, it went well. I'd probably get a protection plan again in certain situations. Allstate followed up, followed through and did good record-keeping. It was important to me that they’ve got a running record of what's been discussed and what's been talked about when you call back. There were no plot twists and that was important to me.

Allstate used to be SquareTrade and I've had a lot of SquareTrade policies over the years. I'm really happy with them every time I get them. I used Allstate when the screen of my Dell XPS 13 was damaged. They needed to replace that, which they did and everything looks great. They rummaged the system, which was a known thing to do. But what they did is they left it in a state of the first name of the owner instead of leaving it in a default Windows start to login thing, where you can build your own private profile.

Going forward, I suggest that instead of leaving it just an owner if you're going to rummage it, leave it in a state where the customer can go through and set up their own login again. Other than that, everything looked good when we got the computer back. I'm happy with the claim. Allstate was good to use. The process took a week overall. It was two days for them to get the computer, two days for them to ship it back, and a couple of days to fix it.

I called Allstate and a representative asked some questions. They tried to do some troubleshooting such as listening for the sounds and unplugging and replugging the washing machine. She was able to hear so they filed a claim. They asked me to record a video so I did and I took some pictures as well then submitted that. There was some email communication and they rendered a decision and they gave me my money back. I purchased the new washing machine from Costco and it arrived today. I bought another warranty with Allstate for my new washing machine.

Allstate made an assessment and they made a good decision. They are by the people and they believe in the consumers so I felt supported. Sometimes when you deal with businesses, you feel like you're just a small person and you don't matter. But Allstate came from a consumer perspective to know and understand. They've been doing this for a long time and they probably know about machines and life. I was very satisfied.

Electronics sometimes don't work and I've had the experience of them going out. Having insurance is good. You're investing in what you're purchasing. It's extending the warranty even though it already came with the warranty. Luckily for me, I was still within the timeframe to get the help that I did when I did a claim for my TV. It really worked out.

My TV wasn't working and was having issues updating. It just turned on and on by itself. It would have the apps on there but it wouldn't let you use them. It just kept getting frozen. We kept trying to update it and go through the download process, but it just wouldn't do anything. I did a claim and the process went well. The technicians were great. They tried to troubleshoot and then tried to fix the TV, but it wasn't repairable. Allstate did a refund based on the age of the TV.

Allstate went above and beyond to try to make sure that I either get the replacement or get the refund. I was happy with it. It was great to use the money that it cost me to pay for the warranty because sometimes you never use it or you may even forget you have it then you lose out. You then have to spend another $200 or $300 on the TV. But Allstate really worked out and I was happy with saving money.

I have the protection plan for two tablets. At first, the screen was messing up and now they won't charge. For one of the tablets, they said it's still under the manufacturer's warranty. I talked to people about them but I never heard anything back. For the second one, they sent me a check in the mail for how much I paid for it. So, that's good.

The person who actually helped me was awesome. I was transferred five times and they were like, "Okay, well, let me get you to the right department.” That's what each one said. So I'm like, “Okay, this last person is gonna tell me the same thing.” But no, he actually helped me.

Fortunately, while we we looking through the owner's manual, we ran across our Walmart Purchase warranty and we had like a month left on our warranty. We called them and in about 5 days or so, we received the full amount of purchase because it was determined that it was pointless to try and refurbish it. There were some glitches due to miscommunication on both sides...nothing serious. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with very helpful and friendly staff.

They need to fix the website. So that way, somebody has a choice if they want to go to a repair shop, or if they want a replacement. They wanted me to take my expensive phone to a local dealer to have it fixed and I knew it wasn't fixable. I demanded a replacement so I was able to get one. But if somebody didn't know their rights or how to navigate that, they'd probably end up at a repair shop wasting time.

When it comes to electronics, having a protection plan is very important. The first time we used Allstate was really good. We submitted everything and they tried to get somebody to fix the TV but it wasn't fixable. So, they ended up sending us a check for the replacement. That was years ago, when they first started coming out with the flat screens. This last claim we had was for a kids' ride-on and it was a bit harder ‘cause it was an item that they deemed repairable and it isn't. Those are hard to find anybody to work on, and they ended up reimbursing us.

The CAT bulldozer stopped working completely. At first, it was the power button, and I got a replacement part for that, but it still wouldn't power on. I charged it overnight, and that wouldn't power it on at all. I provided Allstate with the proof of purchase, and videos and pictures of the bulldozer not working. It took a while, but once I called them, they submitted all that information. Within a few days, they told me, “Okay, it looks like there's no replacement for it. But we can send you a replacement check,” and I could get anything I wanted. I got an e-gift card to Walmart. I'm glad I got the protection plan, and I’ll tell people, for sure, to add it to their purchase.

I bought a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy A03s and the day after I purchased the phone, it fell out my hand and cracked. During the initial claim process, the reps told me they were gonna send the stuff on email. The lady didn't make it clear how the claim would be done through email. Also, the phone was working when they gave me information for the email but my screen went out completely so I couldn't see the email anymore. I called them back and they were gonna send me an envelope to put the phone in. They're gonna ship it to me and I'm gonna ship it back to them.

They said the process is gonna take 7 to 10 days. I told them no it would be too long because I had already been out of a phone for a week and a half. I told them that I wanted to file a complaint with SquareTrade and they told me, “Let me let you talk to the supervisor and see if my supervisor can help you out before we take that step.” I said, “I don't have any problem with your representatives. It’s just that the timeframe. I’m on a 30-day Straight Talk card that I paid $55 for. The time is just going on, and I don't even have the phone.” So he said, “How about we just give you a reimbursement check? And that'll be there in three to five days.” I said, “Okay.” and that’s what they did.

The claims went fine and I had a good experience, overall. I filed a claim on my bookshelf, my coffee table, and my sofa. For the bookshelf, Allstate sent me a kit in the mail to clean it up. Then, they reimbursed me for the coffee table and the sofa is not really covered underneath my claim, but that's something else I'm trying to figure out on my own. I felt good about the process. It was very accessible. I had a better experience with them than with the other insurance company I'm with.

Our laptop kept on shutting off, and for some reason, when we did the diagnostics, it wouldn’t recognize the GPU. We went online and filed a claim then it gave us a phone number to call. The agents have been nice, and I get email updates every step of the way. The only thing is, this is the second time we've filed a claim on it. The first time, they just reset the operating system, and it took 10 days to get that done. Now, they’re gonna do a repair and they emailed me a shipping label, but we'll have to wait another 10 days to get the thing done when they could have done it the first time. Still, Allstate is a great company.

I had an electronic device that broke due to an accident. It was a little frustrating at first because Allstate told me to get ahold of Microsoft because it was a Microsoft product and that it should be covered through their warranty, and then to send this and do this. I was like, "Is there any way around that?" I was told, "No. And if those aren't acceptable, then we won't help you."

I called back because Microsoft said no, and explained to Allstate the situation. The guy said the first person I had talked to should have told me my options. He was more helpful than the first guy. I got an email confirmation two or three hours later reimbursing me of what the plan was willing to be reimbursed by. I then got the digital gift card the next day. So, it only took like a day all in all.

The claims submission process with Allstate was a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be. I just got online with my receipt and typed in the number on it, and they brought everything up for me. They sent me a gift card for reimbursement. I'm assuming the printer was on sale because we got it at Walmart so it was less than what it was supposed to be but it was something. It went towards the new one. If I do have to talk to someone, I want someone that speaks English. But the experience was super quick and easy.

I had a claim a little over a month ago and a rep said the claim was already issued out but I came to find out that it wasn't issued out on that day, it was just the affidavit. I spoke with another representative and she explained to me that that could have been the reason why she said it was sent out. Other than that, everything was very helpful. They reissued the amount that I paid for the product, but not the sales tax though. Normally, they give you the sales tax back but I let that go.

The printer started paper jamming and all I could get was black. The red, blue, and yellow were completely gone. I called Allstate to file a claim and it took me three calls to find somebody who could help me in the way I needed to be helped. Then, they said they were going to mail me a full refund. They said they're gonna send me a check but online would have been so much better. Also, I recently moved and my old address was officially a business address because I was the manager of a yoga studio. The post office does not forward from business addresses so I haven't received it yet. I had to get a PO Box and I've checked with the yoga studio once or twice a week and I haven't seen that check. Another critique I have is anytime they send someone an email about their policy, they should not include just the number, include the item.

Allstate Protection Plans response

Hello Manny,

We apologize for the delay in receiving your reimbursement surrounding your recent claim.

At SquareTrade, we try our best to provide flexibility to our customers with options that fulfill the claim needs. Once we have exhausted our repairs or replacement options, we move the claim towards reimbursement. If applicable, the e-gift card is provided as a primary option since it's a quick reimbursement method but is generated depending on where the item was purchased initially. At the same time, the check we send is through the United States Postal Service, which usually gets delivered within five business days after getting processed. We are sorry this has not been the same with your case. One of our specialists has reached out to you to discuss this issue further.

My kid dropped the Chromebook and you couldn't see anything come on the screen. Submitting the claim was easy because the information was already there after I used something from the receipt from Costco. Once I identified the computer, everything else was pretty straightforward. They came back and gave an approval or disapproval message. They then gave me a shipping label to ship the Chromebook off. They said they would communicate with me on what's wrong and the timeline would be a week or so. But I need to send it in still.

The warranty is very valuable. This is our second claim. So it's definitely worth the money to have the protection, especially for kids who are more vulnerable to having an accident.

Purchased oven from NFM and we purchased a warranty plan. Burner failed and a claim was submitted. We were told to pay for the claim and then submit the invoice with receipt showing paid. The audit team actually sent an email indicating that we must submit a valid invoice. The paid invoice was from a company in Dallas Texas who has done business for over 40 years. Had to file a BBB complaint, then was told we would receive the check within 5 business day, (June 29), and as of today (10 days) no check. Refiling BBB complaint. THIS IS THE WORST WARRANTY COMPANY EVER. THIS WAS SOLD FROM NEBRASKA FURNITURE MART.

Dealing with customer service is frustrating not only that it takes them a long time to find a claim or account but that you have to repeat yourself every time you call. On June 23 I was authorized to buy a phone at an Apple Store I called twice one before going to the store to make sure the store was approved and they say yes to make sure I buy an auto warranty phone. I got to the store and the Apple store in Schaumburg Illinois had no idea what I was saying about it out of warranty phone. They only sell new phones.

I called again SquareTrade customer service. Was put on hold. I advised him that I was at the Apple store and they do not have auto warranty phones if I could purchase a phone and they approved as long as the cost was below the approved amount of $1499. Since the cost was below that the reps said it’s okay. Now I get an email that it has been denied. When I called customer service I was advised by a supervisor Sean that it was declined because it should’ve been out of warranty. Now he has escalated this to the concerned team So they can review the calls on that day when I got the approval.

Going through this process has been very painful and difficult I have not sure why AllState backs SquareTrade and how they do business. Now I’m at risk of losing the money and they will take up to two business days for me to get another email with the resolution. I am very disappointed of how my claim has been handled and how difficult your system is to file claims. I do hope that your customer service department has the right thing and he’s able to verify the multiple calls I made on that day prior to buying the replacement phone.

Hi Kattia,

We apologize for any frustration surrounding your recent claim.

SquareTrade does our best to make your claim experience with us as seamless and productive as possible. SquareTrade offers coverage for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical issues and, when the accidental plan is purchased, physical damage. Our Terms & Conditions state that there is a limit of liability set for each plan, which indicates the maximum coverage amount. This is the maximum amount we will utilize in order to resolve any claims you file. In your case, the replacement value exceeded the original item’s price. We are sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced due to this.

We appreciate you taking the time to review us and we hope to provide a better experience in the future.

Call them and was told it's denied and have to resubmit, because they need pics of damaged are. Well 1 it say nowhere on your info that's what is needed 2 you only allow 1 pic. So I do so and send a email also stating that. Get a response which I was blown away by. Need pic of whole item....like for real are you kidding me!!! No wonder no one wants allstate plans and or get anything fixed, replaced or refunded. Allstate denies every claim!!! Worse company ever, what a rip off they are.

We had road debris that went through the tire, out the sidewall, and damaged the wheel on a new 2022 SUV. Took it to the dealer and they put on a new tire, but said that I'd have to have the wheel taken to a repair shop for repair and repainting and polishing.

You have to do it from a laptop.” I don't have a laptop. So, I went to Staples to print it out. I printed it, and I sent it. After that, I called them. They told me it's gonna take three days.

However, in certain claims, we require an additional timeframe to review the repair invoice to process the reimbursement, just like in this case.

I purchased a Tv from Amazon and got a 4 year plan from SquareTrade to cover it. The Tv went bad 2 1/2 years later and the plan was to cover a replacement or refund the BASE purchase price. I paid $430 and the base cost was 377.99 for the Tv. Everything was moving along and was informed that I would be receiving my check via post. I was disappointed that I was out a Tv, but happy to get the base cost back to buy a replacement. The check came in for a prorated amount because "It was a used product and to save me the shipping cost " as said by Billy the customer service rep. via chat. That is total nonsense and a lie. There was no mention of a prorated amount in my previous discussions and was specifically asked to provide a base cost as that would be the amount refunded.

I feel like I'm being given the run around. Representative Billy informed me that he and his team are not equipped to assist customers with these matters and gave me a number to call. In true "BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE" fashion the department that handles Tv claims is closed. I was told to call again tomorrow. Why would a customer service rep tell me to call now when they know what hours that department operates at?! At the very least inform the customer of the department times.

The Allstate plan helps me a lot because when my phone is broken or damaged or not working in any way, shape, or form, I can be certified to get it replaced if I send it back and get a renewal and not have to worry so much. It's quick and easy. I just make a call on the landline and provide the necessary information they need. They tell me what to do, I do it, they get me the new bits, I give them the old. I can do this however many times until the warranty expires. It saves a lot of money, time and headaches. I've been having problems with my phone for what sources have described as ghost touching, where it acts on itself and opens apps and swipes on its own as if a ghost was using it. They sent a brand-new one to replace the one I have.

Very disappointed in the communication. Technician was sent out and was told that repair material would be ordered. Also received an email from AllState stating that the repair parts had been ordered and I would be notified when the next appointment would be scheduled. I waited about 3 weeks and no contact. I contacted Allstate and at that point was told that the parts were not being ordered and the fridge would not be repaired. I was told it was not covered and that we would need to take care of the issue. I then waited another few weeks and called about another issue with the fridge and the representative kept going back to the original issue and repeating that they could not help me.

I finally asked to speak with a supervisor. I was put on hold for about 10 minutes. I think they were hoping that I would hang up. When a supervisor finally came to the phone she again started quoting the previous notes and kept interrupting as I tried to explain. At that point I got upset and demanded that she be quiet and at least listen to me. After I calmly explained AGAIN what the issues were she said that she would have to discuss this and get back to me. I received a call back and was told that they would send another technician out and order the needed repair items. This was the most frustrating time that I have ever had with a protection plan. Actually don't recommend it.
