I have had several items covered under an Allstate protection plan. I filed a claim for my robot vacuum, and the experience was great. It was easy to file a claim, both online and by phone. The customer service was excellent; they answered all my questions and met my needs.
Based on my experiences, I would recommend Allstate to friends and family.

I recently had an experience with Allstate Protection Plans when my TV's screen unexpectedly went blank. I found the online claim process quite easy, and they responded within a few hours after I submitted a picture.
The replacement is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Overall, I'm satisfied with their service.

I will say I don't always elect coverage for my eBay items but after my experience with Allstate, I'm going to every time. When an issue with a coffee roaster showed up on "gently used" one I bought, Allstate listened to my issue and then made it easy for me to make a claim. I think that's the way these things are supposed to go...No hassles, no delays. Thanks Allstate!

My claim experience was expedient, the return label was convenient for shipping, and my reimbursement was quick. Thank goodness for the brochure & instructions, as the Walmart associates weren't helpful when explaining the process to me. The email communication throughout the claim was very clear and detailed. I appreciate the follow ups. I would use this insurance again for a future device.

My attempts to contact customer service have been unsuccessful. The Website has all the buttons but they don't work. I feel like I've been ghosted. I won't be using Allstate in the future. I made a purchase on eBay which never materialized and I'd insured the Item with Allstate's Squaretrade. EBay refunded the purchase price of the item but have no control over Squaretrade (Allstate) so I tried to contact them to work a refund or some kind of compensation but their website just plain didn't work. So I'm left, "holding the bag. I will avoid Allstate in the future.

The insurance policy is bad! I made a claim back in July, wristband had broken. They fixed it but did a bad job fixing it, so I had to make another claim because of your bad work. 6 months later, the wristband came off again and I was unable to make a claim because I had "gone over my limit." Don't charge your customers a claim for something that is your fault and your bad work. Horrible service!

Review for Warranty Service – If I could give zero stars, I would. This warranty service has been nothing but a headache from start to finish. First, they shipped the replacement part without including my apartment number. FedEx even called them to fix the issue, but despite me also calling to follow up, they never corrected it. As a result, the part was delayed.
Then, they rescheduled the service appointment two weeks later without notifying me—so not only did I have to rearrange my entire day to be available, but I had to wait an extra two weeks for a technician to even show up. When he finally arrived, he quickly realized that the part they sent was the wrong one. He assured me that he would notify the warranty company and that I’d receive a call with a new appointment. Two days passed—no call. I had to follow up myself, only to find out they had no record of the technician's visit or his report. They had to track him down and then get back to me.
After all that, instead of actually fixing the problem, they emailed me generic cleaning procedures, which I had already done and had even told the technician about. When I called again, they claimed the technician told them to send me those instructions—completely false, since he had already diagnosed the issue as a sensor malfunction! What’s worse, they didn’t even take the time to understand my issue properly. My dryer works fine on the timer setting, but when I use programmed cycles, it doesn’t dry my clothes—clearly not a vent-cleaning issue. Yet they continued to waste my time with irrelevant steps instead of actually resolving the problem. Now, I’m once again waiting to see how they’ll mess this up next. Absolutely unprofessional and frustrating service.

Absolute Worst Warranty Service – Feels Like a Scam. I submitted all the required documents—original receipt, photos, and everything they asked for—yet SquareTrade keeps sending the same email demanding evidence I’ve already provided.

This organization has been a nightmare to work with. No issue taking your money for a warranty, but when it comes to placing a claim on the purchased warranty, there is no desire to assist. Have been in contact with them dozens of times, jumped through every hoop communicated, and still no remedy. Receive confirmation emails stating you need to call in to finalize the claim, just be transferred numerous times to multiple departments. I'm at 10 different calls so far, followed exact directions, and still no solution. I'm convinced they are difficult to work with on purpose, so not to have to pay out on valid warranty claims. Absolutely terrible organization!

I submitted a claim with Allstate Protection Plan because I needed troubleshooting information for a product that wasn't working. The initial process of submitting the claim via email was really easy. I did it after looking through the information bubble. However, I have run into a bit of a challenge since then. They were going to give me some instructions on how to troubleshoot and if that didn't work, then I'd have to call back. I believe they sent the information to me when they said, "Go in here at this site," but I don't know where it was. I've been waiting for over a week to receive instructions on how to troubleshoot the issue. I chatted about it last night, but they just sent me a copy of the email traffic. I still don't know any troubleshooting methods and the product is just sitting here not working.
Despite this, I want to mention that in all my past interactions with Allstate, they have been prompt and swift in their response to assist. I have several warranty policies with them, and I've never had any issues with them before. Generally, my experience has been positive. The only reason I'm giving a 3 out of 5 rating at the moment is due to the unresolved issue and the wait time.

I purchased a PlayStation 4 controller and decided to get an Allstate protection plan for it because you never know what happens and you always get the insurance. Unfortunately, the button on the controller stopped working. When I submitted a claim, the process was smooth. I went on the website and it said I had to take it back to the manufacturer. I took it back to Walmart and they refunded me. After that, I went online and bought a new one.

I had a claim on my wine and beverage refrigerator's protection plan with Allstate, purchased through Costco. The refrigerator's drawer mechanism broke, and although a local repair person was sent, they couldn't fix it due to parts being on backorder indefinitely. They offered a replacement, which they weren't able to do. Ultimately, Allstate then decided to send us a check for the full amount we paid. While I usually purchase warranties for peace of mind, I was very impressed with the Allstate protection plan's efficiency and support.

I filed claims with Allstate for my refrigerator and stove, both of which had issues. The refrigerator developed a crack in the freezer door behind where the water and ice dispenser is located. As for the stove, while cleaning the glass in the door, a bar that was supposed to hold it in place ended up being defective. I contacted Allstate, and they were prompt in addressing the issues. The claims process was straightforward as well—I simply went online to file a claim, uploaded the necessary photos, and received a response within a few hours. They sent repair personnel to assess the damage, but later decided to reimburse me with a check equivalent to what I paid for my appliances instead of proceeding with repairs.
I initially opted for Allstate’s protection plan when I purchased the appliances, thinking about the warranties usually expiring in a year. I wanted peace of mind for my home and its appliances. I would recommend the protection plan to friends if it fits within their budget. It's convenient and worthwhile, especially when needed.

I have purchased Allstate Protection Plans for several appliances, including a microwave, stove, and refrigerator. Initially, I chose it because the retailer offered Allstate as their warranty provider when I made the purchases. I did have to file a claim on the microwave when the digital display started malfunctioning. Fortunately, initiating the claim process was straightforward; I simply called and explained the issue. The representatives were knowledgeable and tried their best to assist me. In the end, Allstate refunded the full amount I paid for the microwave as the repair costs were too high. However, the refunded amount was not enough to cover the reinstallation of the new microwave, something I believe should be included, so I had to pay out of pocket for that part.

I purchased an Allstate protection plan for my washer and dryer through the store where I bought them. Eventually, I had to use the warranty for the dryer as it wasn't working. The customer service experience was frustrating; they scheduled technician visits and then canceled multiple times. We have a large family, and it was over two weeks. In the end, they never showed up, forcing me to fix the dryer myself, which was disappointing given that I paid for this service.
Allstate did provide compensation, but it was only $100. Considering the inconvenience and the lack of service, I felt this was inadequate. It's baffling that in the DFW area, with so many people, there was apparently only one technician available, who didn't show up. Such service does not meet the expectations for a paid warranty. You also can't use your own technician.
While the customer service was responsive through email, the process felt slow and tedious since I prefer quick phone resolutions. Sometimes you just wanna call and get something done. The process of sending an email, waiting two days to get an answer, sending another email and waiting another two days is something for me to still get used to. Overall, given the disappointing service and inconvenience I faced, I'd rate my experience with Allstate protection plans a 2 out of 5 stars.

I had an experience with Allstate Protection, formerly known as SquareTrade, where I purchased a protection plan for my vacuum. I did it online and printed the necessary paperwork. However, when they printed the paperwork off, it asked me for all the information that was almost in the claim. I went back online to fill out the required details, placed everything in a box and mailed it.

I have used Allstate Protection Plans for a few of my electronic purchases, especially for computers since I tend to go through them quite a bit. Recently, my computer screen got cracked. When they repaired it, they replaced the glass top, but the touch screen feature didn't work anymore. I'm not sure if it's something I need to get fixed elsewhere.
In the past, I had a positive experience with them when my TV broke down. They sent me a better TV than I initially had, which was surprising and impressive. The process of filing a claim was fairly quick, although there's naturally some wait time for the repairs, especially when you need the device urgently. Despite these occasional delays, I find the protection plans highly valuable. It's a relief to have them because electronic items can be fragile and prone to breakage during delivery or use.
I've used Allstate protection plans several times over the years and would recommend getting extended warranties because it's just better to be safe than sorry. The protection service itself deserves a top rating from me. However, there might be frustration if the protection doesn't work, which fortunately hasn't been my experience with Allstate. The customer service and level of coverage both rate very highly in my opinion, as do the pricing and the convenience of using my phone to manage claims.

I purchased an Apple iPad with an Allstate protection plan. Initially, the explanation about the protection plan wasn't thorough. When my first iPad got damaged, I assumed I could have it repaired in-store, which wasn't the case. I had to go online to file a claim and follow those steps. Although the process was easy, it took a few days longer because of an issue with the shipping label—I had to print it myself instead of them mailing it to me.

I recently used Allstate Protection Plans for a purchase I made at Walmart, specifically for an e-scooter I bought for a child this past summer. I generally take up protection plans for products that meet a certain price threshold, and Walmart typically offers these plans during purchase, even though I use the self-checkout option.
In November, the e-scooter began malfunctioning, prompting me to file a claim. Filing the claim felt akin to an insurance process; it had minor hurdles due to the algorithm used online, which automatically tries to redirect users to the manufacturer's warranty. In my case, the scooter's warranty was only for 90 days, so I needed to contact customer service directly after it expired.
The claim filing process was smooth, and within two days, they provided options for replacement. However, I noticed an issue with their algorithm: the proposed replacements did not match the original purchase's price. For instance, the algorithm suggested much cheaper alternatives that weren't comparable. I believe their system could improve in this respect, as common sense dictates that a $200 e-scooter shouldn't be replaced with an $80 foot-push scooter.
Despite this, once I clarified my situation, they promptly provided a gift card equivalent to my original purchase, allowing me to buy another scooter. This experience did not deter me, as I purchased another plan for the new scooter. For those considering Allstate, I believe it boils down to personal preference and lifestyle.
Reflecting on my experience, I would rate Allstate a 4 overall. Their customer service deserves full marks for responsiveness, and the value for money on the plan was satisfactory. However, I would rate the ease of using their website a 3, primarily due to the algorithm issues I encountered. Nonetheless, I'm open to recommending Allstate to others, understanding that everyone's buying habits differ.

To submit a claim, I found the email from when I purchased the plan and followed the instructions to submit the claim online. This process was straightforward, thanks to a simple form.
However, when I first made the claim, the website instructed me to use the manufacturer's warranty. Unfortunately, the chair was outside the retailer's warranty period, and I received no response from the manufacturer. After the suggested one-year manufacturer's warranty period expired, I resubmitted my claim through Allstate's portal. By then, I was told I had waited too long, and my claim was denied.
I would rate my experience with Allstate as a 1 out of 5. For anyone considering their protection plan, I advise reading the fine print carefully and advocating firmly if a claim is necessary. No specific callback date was provided by Allstate for my issue.
Hello David Needham,
We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced with your recent claim.
SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our customers and provide efficient and effective resolutions. However, per our terms and conditions, customers must file a furniture claim within 30 days of when the issue occurred. While SquareTrade does our best to assist all of our customers, we can only approve claims within the specifications of the coverage purchased.
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 recently had a positive experience with the Allstate Protection Plan that I purchased at Target for a shopping cart. Unfortunately, the wheel on the shopping cart broke, prompting me to submit a claim. I found the process of submitting a claim online to be very easy and the overall claim process was fast. I was satisfied with how Allstate handled the situation, as they compensated me for the damaged item. I would describe Allstate Protection Plans as a good insurance option and would recommend it to friends and family.

I recently had the opportunity to use an Allstate protection plan I purchased for a gold chain, and I must say, the experience was quite positive. I've had to file two claims so far, and the process was incredibly easy and efficient. I just went online, filled out the necessary forms, and within less than two weeks, my repaired item was sent back to me. One of the chain links had broken, and they did a great job soldering it back together.
I would definitely recommend Allstate protection plans, as they've proven to be a good decision for certain items. In general, I'm selective about buying extra protection, but this time it really paid off.
Overall, I'd rate my experience with Allstate a solid 5 out of 5. Their customer service was straightforward since everything was handled online, and the cost of the protection plan was fair. The ease and efficiency of their online service also deserve a top rating.

I usually buy protection plans for items I purchase at Walmart. Every time I shop online using their app, I add the Allstate protection plan without hesitation. I’ve filed claims with Allstate three times, and while it was easy to do, only two claims were approved.
The declined claim involved a smart vacuum that started falling apart and making noise just months after purchase. Despite trying to claim, I was told it was too new for coverage. Contacting the manufacturer resulted in the same response, so I gave up and left the vacuum unused.
On the positive side, Allstate was very helpful with my children's tablets on two occasions. Both times the screens were damaged from being dropped. Allstate declared one tablet beyond repair and promptly sent a gift card for a replacement. The other time, they repaired the back and the glass and returned it in good condition.
Overall, I would say Allstate provides a good service for protecting items, especially based on those positive experiences with the tablets. However, the situation with the vacuum was disappointing. If asked by a friend or family about my experience, I would share this balanced view.
As for ratings, I'd give Allstate a potential 5 stars for the tablet protections but only 1 star for the vacuum incident. Averaging it out, I would rate my overall experience at about 4 stars. I find their website easy to navigate, so I'd give that aspect 5 stars. For the pricing of the plans, I'd rate it a 4, also depending on the specific item being covered. Unfortunately, I can't comment on their customer service experience over the phone as I’ve never needed to call them.

I had an unfortunate experience with my Allstate protection plan for a PlayStation controller. Initially, the controller stopped responding, prompting me to start a claim. The process was frustrating. After submitting the receipt number, my claim wasn't processed as promised, leading me to follow up after two weeks. Allstate gave me the runaround, leaving me stuck without results even after visiting Target, where I bought the product.
Eventually, I contacted Target customer service, and after another week, they decided to send a replacement controller directly, bypassing Allstate, despite my paying extra for the warranty coverage. They first sent the wrong part, and after more delays, they finally sent the controller. This ordeal took over a month, by which time I'd already bought a new one out of necessity. I was never reimbursed, possibly because I didn't notify them of my new purchase, and I certainly didn't trust Allstate's insurance again.
Reflecting on this experience, I would rate it as very poor, a 1 out of 5. When deciding to get the coverage initially, it seemed prudent given past issues with controllers. Yet, with the experience I faced, I would not recommend the Allstate protection plan to others due to their flawed claim process. It seemed like an error along the way, but nonetheless, it has left me skeptical of the service.

I had a disappointing experience with Allstate Protection Plans. My couch was severely damaged by my dog, but the claim process was frustrating. I was limited to submitting only a couple of pictures, which didn't adequately display the extent of the damage. Despite the plan stating that furniture replacement was included, Allstate only sent me a cleaning kit, ironically not suitable for the wood and cushion damage I experienced.
I attempted to follow up with their customer service, which initially seemed promising as they asked for details and even suggested I would receive a replacement. However, after multiple interactions, I received only the cleaning kit, which was ineffective. Their insistence on first sending the kit before considering other options was confusing and unhelpful.
Despite the dissatisfaction with the outcome, I found the customer service representatives polite and responsive via both online and phone interactions. If I were to rate my experience based on coverage and claims fulfillment, it would be quite low. However, the ease of use of their online services and the customer service itself would be rated higher.
This experience has left me regretting my purchase of the plan, as it did not fulfill its promises.

Target only offered Allstate warranties. And after buying two products neither had a good solution. The first was a PS5, and less than a year after having it we discovered the disc drive doesn’t working. After calling both Target and Allstate back and forth for about 2 hours the solution was to go through Sony because it hadn’t been a year yet. Allstate refused to honor the first year of my 2 year warranty.
Next was a new controller purchased for the ps5. Allstate made me purchase a new controller, and then added a deductible so I couldn’t even get all the money back for the controller. If I had 80 bucks to blow on controllers I wouldn’t have even bought the warranty to begins with. Safe to say I will be doing more research and doing my best to avoid buying any electronics that do warranties through Allstate in the future.

Overall good experience with making the claim. Parts arrived as stated, I appreciated the "Track my appointment" link. The technician was on time, knowledgeable and communication was great. The fridge lights are finally working, I am very pleased with the outcome. My first claim with same light problem did not go well. Rep told me to purchase replacement lights at Home Depot. Second claim made up for it in a positive way.

I purchased the Walmart Allstate protection plan believing it was a three-year furniture protection plan as stated on my Walmart receipt. When I filed a legitimate claim for my gaming rocking chair, it was denied because All State placed the plan as a plan for “mechanical and electrical” issues—something that doesn’t even apply to furniture.
Despite providing proof that my receipt clearly showed I purchased a furniture plan, they refused to assist me, insisting their system showed otherwise. It was an absolute waste of time and money—mostly a waste of my time and my peace. I wouldn’t recommend this protection plan to anyone. I did ask how to escalate the situation and was denied the information. My trust in Walmart has changed drastically.

Within 14 months time we had to have our (less than) 5-year-old GE refrigerator serviced. The first time the ice maker quit working and Allstate paid to have it repaired. Now, just before Christmas, the freezer quit working. Our local repairman diagnosed freon leaks, and failing compressors and evaporators. Within 5 days the fridge quit working as well. The repairs would cost more than what we paid for the fridge! Originally Allstate suggested replacing it with the same model. I told them I didn't want another GE product!
They sent me a check for the entire purchase price so that we could buy a different make and model. I will never buy another major appliance without buying an extended warranty. Allstate was easy to deal with and helped expedite our claim so that we could buy a replacement locally instead of waiting for another one to be shipped to us. We already received our check last week for the service call and today received the check to replace the unit. I highly recommend Allstate/Square Trade extended warranties!

I dealt with Allstate Protection Plans for a washer-dryer combo that I bought from Nebraska Furniture Mart. Since it was a new technology, I opted for the protection plan to ensure reliability. I was already aware that Nebraska Furniture Mart offers protection plans for major appliances, so I requested one when I purchased the combo.
The coverage matched what I expected, covering basic issues unless it was due to my error. I had to file a claim for a repair, and the process was easy. I registered the protection plan online and communicated electronically to arrange for a repair technician to visit. The technician coordinated with my children, who reside where the washer-dryer combo is located, to set up the visit. The whole process was smooth, and the issue was resolved promptly.
Overall, my experience with Allstate was excellent. Everything went smoothly with no hassle, and I was very satisfied with the technicians they contracted. Although I didn't interact directly with customer service, my daughter's feedback was positive, indicating the customer service was top-notch. While I can't recall the exact cost of the protection plan, it was factored into my initial purchase decision, and it delivered the peace of mind I was seeking.

I recently had an experience with the Allstate Protection Plans for an AI power generator I purchased. The issue arose seven months before the warranty expired when the generator stopped working. Initially, it was quite a challenge to get a hold of customer support before the warranty expired. I was instructed to take the generator to a repair shop for an estimate, but not to proceed with repairs if it would cost more than I initially paid for the generator.
The claims process took some time, and I submitted the quote multiple times because the repair was deemed financially unfeasible. Eventually, after numerous attempts and what seemed like dead ends, a customer service representative stayed on the line with me, escalated the issue to a supervisor, and ensured my claim was finally approved. I received $405 back in the form of a Walmart gift card, which was timely during the Christmas season.

Hello Abdel Hejavi,
We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced with your recent claim.
SquareTrade always does our best to offer repair and replacement resolutions as our first priority, and a reimbursement is typically an option reserved for atypical situations. We have designed SquareTrade protection plans to cover our consumers 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
We understand the frustration that can come from this. However, we were happy to speak with you and come to an amicable resolution for your claim. We hope to provide a better experience in the future.

Hi Ashley H,

SquareTrade offers coverage for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical issues and, when the accidental plan is purchased, physical damage. However, our Terms & Conditions state that there is a limit of liability set for each plan, which indicates the coverage amount.

I recently had to use the Allstate protection plan I purchased for my glasses at Sam's Club. I decided to file a claim after my glasses got scratched in a fall. I had no issues with customer service. Having an extended warranty proved valuable in this situation. What's more, Allstate was quick to reimburse me, allowing me to get new glasses. It worked out really well.

The representative I initially spoke with, Baja, was fantastic. He understood my request for a refund on an uncomfortable and broken couch rather than a replacement, and he efficiently facilitated the process for me.
There was a minor hiccup when I didn't receive the refund check initially, but after a follow-up call, everything was resolved, and I was satisfied with the outcome. The response times were generally within a day, except for this one instance, which was just a mix-up.

I recently had a positive experience with Allstate when my child's Tracfone needed a claim due to a cracked screen. The touch function stopped working, and I had to file a claim through Allstate. The process was straightforward—I just needed to send a picture of the receipt and fill in the claim form. It was fast and easy, and they provided a shipping label to return the phone.
Although I initially expected to receive an e-gift card refund the next business day as they promised, it eventually took 7 to 10 business days to arrive. I received the refund by the 10th day and used it to buy the same phone at Walmart.
While I usually don't get protection plans for cheaper items, I decided to do it for these $100 phones because my teenagers might frequently mishandle them. The plan covered spills and cracks, which was reassuring. I'm really glad I had the protection plan because it made the replacement process convenient, and everything was prepared in advance, including knowing where the receipt was.
Overall, I found Allstate very easy to work with and would rate my experience as excellent. I would recommend their protection plans to others, especially for items that might be easily damaged.

I used the Allstate Protection Plan for my grandson's HP laptop after he accidentally cracked the screen. When we sent it in for repair, they returned a laptop with stickers that weren't on his original device. They insisted it was his laptop, but it had little girl stickers, and he's 14 years old. Despite my complaints, they told us to keep the one they sent back, without reimbursement. This was frustrating as he was falling behind in schoolwork and we couldn't afford further delays.
While the customer service representatives were polite and nice to deal with, communication issues seem to exist between them and the repair team. We never spoke directly with the repair people, which might have helped clear up the confusion. Due to the state of the returned laptop, which also showed signs of tampering, I'm dissatisfied with the overall experience. I'd rate the customer service team a 5, but the overall experience with Allstate as a 3 because of the unresolved issues with the product.

I have several electronic items covered under Allstate, including four TVs, laptops, tablets, and gaming devices. Two weeks ago, one of my TVs stopped working. It would turn on but then just freeze without doing anything else. I filed a claim, and one of their representatives called to try troubleshooting the issue over the phone. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting didn't work, but they promptly emailed me with the next steps.
They replaced my TV with a new one. The whole process took less than three days from filing the claim to receiving the replacement. I found this service incredibly valuable, so much so that I've advised more than five of my friends to consider getting an electronic warranty for their devices.

I purchased a protection plan along with a portable generator inverter from Allstate. Unfortunately, the electric start stopped working. Although the manufacturer tried to help me troubleshoot this issue despite it being out of warranty, they couldn't resolve it and advised me to file a claim with Allstate.
I initiated the claim process online but noticed a note about certain items not being shippable, particularly ones containing gasoline like my generator. I double-checked the fine print and confirmed I indeed couldn't ship it due to this reason. There was a toll-free number listed, so I called it. During a brief 5 to 10-minute conversation, I explained the issue and what the manufacturer and I had attempted to fix. Allstate promptly acknowledged the problem and decided to reimburse me without requiring me to ship the item back.
The protection plan came with the purchase; I didn't initially choose it, but was grateful for its inclusion. Based on this experience, I'd rate the claim process a 5. Allstate made everything straightforward and recognized the issue without making me jump through hoops. I would recommend them based on this efficient handling of my claim.
Additionally, if I were in the market for another generator, I would consider buying the protection plan due to my positive experience.

I've had a fantastic experience with Allstate Protection Plans. We have several iPads—mine, my husband's, and my sons'—which are used for schoolwork. When they broke, we sent them in and got them back in excellent condition. This has happened with previous iPads too, and every time, the process was smooth and easy. Once, I forgot to send out a FedEx label they provided, but when I called a month later, they were very accommodating and quickly sent me a new one, sparing me the trouble of starting over. We chose Allstate because it was the first option we came across, and it has been a wonderful choice. The customer service team has consistently been great, which further solidifies the value of having an extended warranty, especially with four boys in the house.

My experience with Allstate protection plans has been quite positive overall. Initially, I bought protection plans for a few items like coffee pots and a Bluetooth headset. Though I started buying directly through Allstate after learning I had a limited timeframe to do so after purchasing from retailers like Walmart, I usually get the protection plan at the time of purchase. When I had an issue with my coffee pot, which wouldn't power on, I was unsure if it was still under warranty. I logged into SquareTrade and found that it was indeed covered. Filing the claim was straightforward, thanks in part to the excellent customer service. There was some difficulty finding my product details online, but the representative was patient and helped resolve the confusion, making the process much easier.
I was very satisfied with the resolution they provided, which is why I often recommend to friends and family to opt for warranties with their electronics. I find Allstate's plans to be more worthwhile than those from other retailers. For example, a headset I purchased about two years ago had one speaker stop working just before the warranty expired. Allstate reimbursed me because the headset model was no longer available, which I appreciated.

I purchased a washer about four years ago with an extended warranty from the store where I bought it. When the washer needed service—I'm not sure exactly what was wrong—I was informed that the warranty was held by Allstate. Generally, my experience with Allstate Protection Plans' customer service was positive. Initially, the process was a bit slow, but ultimately, I was satisfied with the outcome. Having the extended warranty proved to be very valuable as it saved us between $500 and $600 in repair costs, and we didn't have to pay anything out of pocket.

I had a less than satisfactory experience with Allstate protection plans regarding the warranty on my TV. The main issue is that my TV frequently freezes, but because it's an intermittent problem, the warranty service won't address it unless it's completely non-functional. This has left me feeling quite frustrated, as it doesn't make sense to wait for it to fully break down. I have tried unplugging and resetting the TV, which works temporarily, but the issue persists. I even expressed my dissatisfaction through their survey, but it seems their policy requires the problem to be visible during inspection, which doesn't align with the nature of my issue.
Additionally, when I reached out to their support, I felt like I wasn't speaking to someone locally, and it seemed their goal was to avoid replacing the TV unless it's visibly defective. This experience has left me hesitant to purchase another Allstate warranty in the future. I felt like I invested in a service that was not helpful. If the TV were entirely out of commission with a serviceman validating it, they might have addressed it, but that wasn't my situation. I wouldn't recommend Allstate based on my experience and believe there might be better warranty options available that don't have such restrictive conditions.

I initially heard about Allstate Protection Plan when I needed coverage for a few devices. Recently, I decided not to pursue a claim because the device replacement they offered was not compatible with my original one. I had a larger air fryer, and the replacement was much smaller. It didn't make sense to me to pay the same price for a lesser product, so I opted not to proceed with the claim. My interaction with Allstate was entirely online. I had the option to choose between a refund or replacement, but the replacement was inadequate, so I left it as it was.
Hello Nelly Alvarado,
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience.
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.
We appreciate your time in reviewing us, and we look forward to providing a better experience in the future.

I got a couple of protection plans. I purchased one for a dishwasher and another one at a different time for a laptop. I recently dealt with Allstate for a laptop issue. My son, the laptop's primary user, noticed it was overheating, particularly around the power cable input area, and the battery had completely failed. It wasn't turning on at all. Initially, we contacted Costco's concierge service, but they attributed the issue to physical damage, which led us to file an accidental damage claim with Allstate.
The process involved sending the laptop to Allstate, where they replaced the battery and returned it to us. They said they fixed it and while the laptop now powers on, it still has overheating issues. My assumption is that they just replaced the battery. However, we haven't yet informed Allstate of these unresolved problems, as my son hasn't been using the laptop much.
Despite this, I would rate Allstate a 5 because they efficiently managed the claim and repaired what they deemed necessary. They did what they thought was right, so they're good with me. I bought this protection plan for my son's laptop due to his previous issues with computers, and I anticipated needing assistance eventually.

Allstate SquareTrade is not worth the paper it is written on. You just waste your money. They will find any excuse not to cover what you paid to have covered. It is a garbage company based on nothing but lies in my opinion and from my experience. I paid $120.00 for an extended warranty on a Frigidaire range. The range arrived with faulty heating elements. The clowns in the Third World Country where Frigidaire has their products manufactured didn't bother to put the serial number sticker on the range, so Frigidaire, being the low life company that they are refuses to cover the repair and SquareTrade uses the excuse that the issue is a manufacturing issue not to cover the repair. They are both worthless swine that just steal money from consumers.

I have yet to receive my refund for the second controller of $49.99.I only got a refund of $43.17 as I used that shipping label of that claim. There was a whole mix up. When I had initially reported the controllers the representative created 2 separate claims then I was instructed to return items and that I be receiving a shipping label and then he said he had “processed claims wrong and my new claim was accepted and my refund would be of $86.34 for both controllers” however that claim confirmation was never emailed to me and so I never got the shipping label for that last claim he processed the items under together.
When I was ready to return the items I asked again which shipping label to use as I never got the email with claim representative had processed last and I was told to use 1 of the shipping labels from the other emails I did get for the claims that were processed “incorrectly” and so I did and I have so far received refund of 1 controller even though I return both in same box with using shipping label from claim # ** ($43.17) and still missing the refund for claim #** ($49.99). I did what I was told to do. Used 1 shipping label for both controllers and I also included 2 separate claim forms with the claim #s referenced above as I never got the last claim # rep. Had processed last for $86.34.
I have called and keep being told I hear back within 2 business days after I had already signed a affidavit and they somehow had to re-accept the claim for the second controller and I have yet to receive the refund or the callbacks I keep being told I’d get once my claim is “investigated further”, not sure what exactly needs to be investigated as 1 white box contained both of the black controllers and 2 separate claim forms with 2 different claim #s!
Another issue is I don’t know if the representatives note the account or not because every time I call I have to re-explain everything and somehow each time a new claim needs to be created for the second controller they already have received since 12/9/2024 per Fedex tracking and also partial refund I’ve received for controller #1 that was in same box! They should have all these calls/chats recorded as they advise the customer when they call.
All I want is the refund for the second controller they already have and I had no use keeping as it doesn’t keep charge! If there was a issue it’s on their employees giving incorrect information! Also I found a missed call which didn’t say where they were calling me from and it was made at 9 pm ET which is very unprofessional as customers expect calls during business hours not bedtime hours.

Not great, I followed what I was supposed to do in regards to finding a repair company to quote my dishwasher. I had a hard time sending my quote repair in but was told to send it via email. I did. Have not heard anything back and my dishwasher is still not fixed. I've never had to do this route of service of doing it all myself only to be told the fix would cost me more than the machine cost us. Very disappointed with Squaretrade/Allstate.

On December 11, 2024, I filed a claim for a broken cell phone with Allstate/SquareTrade. I was instructed to take my phone to a specific authorized service center for the repair (which I did). The only issue with my phone was a broken camera. However, when I visited the Apple Store, I was told they could not perform a simple camera replacement and that I would need to purchase an entirely new phone.
Before agreeing to this, I contacted SquareTrade on December 12, 2024, at 12:24 p.m., to confirm if my service plan would cover the replacement. I clearly explained the situation and asked if a replacement phone would be covered under my plan. The SquareTrade representative assured me that as long as I replaced the phone with the exact same make and model, the replacement would be covered. I then submitted my claim, including the necessary receipts, and received a refund check, minus $154.97.
However, when I later reached out to Allstate/SquareTrade to clarify the discrepancy, I was informed that my replacement was only covered up to the amount I originally paid for the phone. This was a different response than I had been given earlier, and I was shocked to learn that I would be responsible for an additional cost.
I explained that this was not the information I was given initially, and I asked them to review the recording of my conversation with their representative. I also pointed out that SquareTrade had directed me to the Apple Store for the repair, where my phone was deemed unrepairable and I was forced to purchase a replacement at an inflated price.
As a result, I feel that my extended warranty was essentially rendered useless, as I was forced to pay for a new phone because of misinformation from SquareTrade and the refusal of Apple to address a simple repair. I believe I am owed the $154.97 that I was unfairly charged, as I was never informed that this would be my responsibility

Bought the family phone (4) protection plan for $19.99 a month. Had a phone with a screen that stopped working and tried to make a claim via the website. The website indicated I would receive a link to upload documents that I never received. I uploaded the required receipt to the website, and the next day got an email saying how nice it was to have spoken with me (never happened) and that I needed to upload a receipt. I uploaded the receipt again, to find out that now two of the phones on my plan were the same phone. I chatted with a representative, who couldn't help me and told me this was elevated to some new level, and refused to authorize repair of the phone.
The next day, I got a request for photos and more information about the phone. I submitted that information. I then got another request to send further photos of the box the phone came in. Still waiting for a response on that one, and it's not clear whether Allstate will honor their agreement to fix or replace a broken phone. Seems like that is what I pay $19.99 a month for, but instead, all I get is a request for more and more information, with a promise that once I submit that, they will process my claim. If we actually get authorization, I then need to upload the repair receipt into their broken system, and go through the maze again. I'd be better off saving the $19.99 a month in a separate account and paying for repairs myself.

One thing to note: Allstate gave me an appointment date, however, the repair service could not honor the date.

I have filed 2 claims within the past day. We purchased the protection plans with our appliances from NFM. For both I had to run around and do troubleshooting for them and try to find model numbers which on the washer was easy but on the dishwasher that is secured into the cabinet is next to impossible. After arguing with the representative I finally got an appointment scheduled for the dishwasher.
However, the washer we are still in a holding pattern because we have to supply burden of proof that there is something wrong with the washer rather than them just sending out a technician to take care of the issue. I could have a reapairman here this week and the problem resolved in a day or 2 but now I will be lucky if this gets resolved in the next week.
It is absolutely ridiculous that when we purchased the plan we were told we just needed to file the claim online and a technician would be sent to our home. We were not told we would have to fix it ourselves or supply proof that there was a problem before a technician might even show up. I will not by another protection plan from this company and will tell everyone I know to run away as fast as they can. It is one big scam!

*WARNING* Allstate Squaretrade uses false/misleading advertisement on their partner websites (like ebay) to sell extended warranties that do not actually provide the coverage they allude to. Furthermore if you try to file a claim through the "helpful link" included in the item description of eBay, it routinely takes you to a blank page. I had to manually copy and paste the link into a browser to get to the claims page. From there it's only an automated process with no direct contact information to reach an agent; and even though it specifically states in their advertisements that drop coverage is included, it doesn't tell you anywhere that cracked screens aren't covered. $60 worth of coverage that is absolutely useless. A convoluted and intentionally difficult to navigate claims/ contact process, and intentionally misleading sales verbiage is all you'll get out of their cell phone policy. 0/10 would not recommend.

I called SquareTrade under the extended warranty contract that I took when I purchased this dishwasher at Nebraska Furniture Mart. The dishwasher door recently started making a "snapping" noise when it was opened to the bottom of its travel.

The repair technician responded to a phone call the day before the appointment, which I initiated to confirm the appointment and to notify him that I had received repair parts from SquareTrade.

SquareTrade offers coverage for a wide variety of electrical and mechanical issues, and when the accidental plan is purchased, it also covers physical damage. However, our Terms & Conditions specify a limit of liability for each plan, which indicates your coverage amount.

I had water damage to my phone. Called to get replacement sent. My consumer carrier and Allstate were spot on with getting my phone replacement sent out. Wow what an amazing experience. Thank you for caring and getting my issue resolved professionally and quickly. I highly recommend Allstate Protection Plans to everyone.
