    I had a two year iron protection policy with through Walmart for two years at $4.00. I used it only once when I had minor trouble near the end of the policy term; I ended up taking a prorated fee & closed out the policy. They (Allstate), ended up giving me a check for $21.00 & closing the policy out. I ended up being able to "fix" my iron & redeeming the check. A very good relationship with Allstate on this, I'd have no problem using their products again.

    I had coverage with Allstate Protection plan via my home protection plan. When I reached out to my home coverage, they explained that I had to contact Allstate to initiate a new claim. There was a great deal of frustration with going back and forth between the 2 agencies. However, once they both confirmed that the coverage was valid, the rest of the process was smooth sailing.

    I bought a laptop on Dec. 6th, 2022. I bought Allstate protection plan for my laptop at that time. The protection plan was for 3 years. A few months ago, I realized that my laptop turns on, but it does not show anything on the screen. It showed a black screen. I contacted the protection plan. First, they asked for sending a picture of my laptop and tried to solve the issue by a phone call, but it was not solved and they said to ship the laptop to them for repair.

    Before shipping, I cleaned my laptop as well. The laptop was delivered to them. But after a few days, they sent me an email with a picture of my laptop and an insect on top of the keyboard. They stated that they found an insect in my laptop and they protection plan does not cover insect infestation and they shipped the laptop back to me. But before shipping the laptop, I sent an image of my laptop by an email to them and there was no insect on my laptop.

    I called them and explained that the laptop was clean when I sent it to them and I already sent an image of the clean laptop to them before shipping, but they stated that the insect was inside of the laptop after they opened it, but actually in the picture they sent to me, the insect was on top of the keyboard and not inside the hardware. There was not evidence for proving that the insect was in the hardware and I was not with them when they opened it.

    In addition, their policy state that the damage should not be caused because of an insect infestation, but the damage was not because of an insect. An insect cannot cause a black screen in a laptop. The screen shows breakage now. There would probably be breakage before which we could not see. An insect cannot cause breakage. I want to repair my laptop. Then they said they can cancel my plan and processed the refund. But I wanted a guarantee for my laptop when I purchased it and they did not do it.

    Hello Narges Zarnaghinaghsh,

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

    SquareTrade offers two types of plans: Standard and Accidental. Our Standard plan covers mechanical and electrical malfunctions, while the Accidental plan includes accidental drops or liquid contact. In this case, the item was affected through infestation which is outside the policy coverage. While SquareTrade does its best to assist all our customers, we can only approve claims within the policy coverage.

    We sincerely apologize for any frustration you have experienced with the resolution provided. One of our specialists has contacted you to further discuss this matter.

    As other people have stated, either Allstate won't exchange the item or it comes back just as damaged. How can they tell me Walmart already refunded me for an item when I sent them pictures and videos of the exact item with a written date and time stamped on a piece of paper? So they make you jump through a bunch of hoops to prove it's the right item. (Serial number and all) just to deny you anyway. Another Item is my autistic son's tablet. He dropped and cracked the screen on the first one after over a year of having it, had it fixed by Allstate and the screen stopped working within 2 weeks. Bought another tablet, my son tripped and broke the screen. Touch screen didn't work after having it sent in to be fixed. I used to buy Allstate/Square Trade for everything, not it isn't worth it!

    Purchased an upright freezer from Home Depot in 2022. The freezer failed in 2025. Called the warranty company who was Allstate. They gave us instructions to get the diagnostics done by a company that they recommended. This was to be done on our dime, and they assured us that we would be reimbursed. We got the diagnostics done, in good faith. Diagnostics company refused to send us the necessary documentation to satisfy Allstate.

    Allstate refused to move forward with anything. Finally, they agreed to reimburse us the price that we paid for the freezer. They would put the check in the mail. We needed a freezer. We ordered a new freezer from Costco and it was delivered and the non-working freezer was hauled away. No check came as promised.

    We called the warranty company again today, it’s been 2.5 weeks. Now they’re saying that we did not comply with the requirements and we voided our warranty by allowing it to be hauled away. Warranty services must be a heck of a racket!

Diagnosis was wrong. Technician said it was not the power supply or motherboard!! He called and informed them that the screen was bad. They e-mailed me next day and offered a replacement. What they offered was not even close to what I had. I asked the to escalate the review and was offered the same make in a newer model. Chose that and three days later it was at my door. I am pleased. If I would have purchased LG's warranty I would have not received an upgraded model!! Kudos to Allstate! Warrant ca not be extended to the replacement which is highly understandable.

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

I bought a 65-inch TV, and it just stopped working and submitting the claim with Allstate was extremely easy. They were gonna replace it, but they gave me three replacements to choose from, and they were all 55 inches instead of giving me 65. They offered me a gift card for the same place where I bought it, but it was messed up from one day to the next, I didn't wanna go back to that same place. So, I decided to get the check and buy it myself. When they sent me the check, they gave me the same amount I paid for the TV excluding taxes, so I'm 95% satisfied, 5% disappointed.

    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. I'm not very thrilled with how they’ve handled the warranty service.

While issues or delays may arise during the process, our goal is to ensure our customers receive efficient and effective resolutions promptly. We apologize that this did not happen in this case.

    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 usually do buy our electronics through eBay and the refurbished. I've run into problems twice and they were easily solved. They reimbursed or they replaced the unit. It's been a positive experience with Allstate.

    I always put my protection, all my items from Costco. I always do that because things happen. It's electronic. So I don't want to get a headache when anything happens. So that's why I always put the protection plan.

    Recently, my TV was having some issues. The picture was blurry. You can still hear the sound, but there was no image. I kept watching for five days. So that's when I decided to submit my claim.

    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. But they finally got it after three days. They found out the purchase was done with my previous membership.

    It didn't take them much to replace it for me once they found the correct policy number. After the replacement, I'm very satisfied.

    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.

I called and they were asking for the receipt, so I had to go to Office Depot and obtain a copy of it. It was weird because when I logged in, the protection plan pretty much had all the information proving that I bought it and they shouldn't have had to make me jump through hoops. After I got through that, the guy that took over was very nice. He did it over the phone with me, did whatever he needed to do, and got it fixed.

I used it to commute back and forth to work for a year, and then it stopped working. I couldn't get any satisfaction from Jenson, went back to Walmart, couldn't get any help. I finally got in touch with an Allstate agent who listened to my situation, reviewed all the transactions I had made with Jenson as well as Walmart to try and rectify the situation, and reimbursed me for the bike.

    We’re 100% satisfied with Allstate. The ice maker on our refrigerator wasn’t working, and water started to pool underneath the crisper drawers. I jumped on the Nebraska Furniture Mart site, where we purchased it, found SquareTrade, and it prompted me to start a claim and go from there. Submitting the claim wasn't too bad at all. It was a little time-consuming having to call and go through everything a couple different times, but it wasn’t difficult.

    The first time I called, they had us take everything out and defrost the entire thing, shut it off, and see if that fixed the problem which we did, and it fixed the problem the first time. Six months later, it happened again and they sent out a technician, but the technician couldn't figure out what the problem was. 25 days later, they sent a different technician out, and that's when they decided to refund us our money ‘cause it wasn’t worth fixing. I'm not sure how the process behind the scenes works, but to me it was discombobulated. Every day something changed, so I wasn't sure what was going on.

    I will never purchase an Allstate Protection Plan again. Their process is misleading from start to finish. When I submitted my claim (#**), the confirmation screen clearly told me the claim was complete, I did not need to send the damaged item back, and could keep it. Naturally, I disposed of it only to be told later that they now require additional photos of the item that no longer exists.

    This is either incompetence or a deliberate tactic to deny claims after customers follow their own instructions. Their communication is inconsistent and they do not take responsibility for their own misleading wording. It is nothing but a frustrating, time wasting runaround designed to keep your money and avoid paying out legitimate claims. Save yourself the stress and just buy from a company that actually stands behind its warranty without playing games.

    We purchased two plans....one for a washer and one for a dryer that we purchased from Home Depot in 2021. Total for both warranties was $230. The washer (Samsung) started throwing codes and wouldn't finish the spin cycle. Long story short, a "repair" company came out to fix it. The washer now makes a very loud squeak and vibrates horribly. I recontacted Allstate about it not being fixed and they wanted to argue about how I worded the initial claim. They claimed I never told them the drum was off balance. So, if I never told them the drum was off balance, how did the washer throw UR/UB codes?? Plus, the point is, the washer is still not working properly. Their contracted repair company was also garbage. The technician was rude, disrespectful and just a plain jerk. I will absolutely never purchase another plan!!

I will use any warranty company from now on but I will not use Allstate/Squaretrade. They do not honor their warranties. Or it takes forever for them to fix anything. To make matters worse I am a senior citizen so they think they can treat you any way they want.

    Please don't buy this protection plan. It is a scam, I bought a 3 year protection plan on a Samsung Bespoke Gas stove. First of all is the worst and is a liability specially if you have children. I had an issue with the oven and when I filed a claim they said they don't cover any accident related issues which btw it almost cause a fire and when I explain the situation all they tried to do is offer a refund for the plan. Really? Please make sure you don't get duked.

    Hello Fanny Romero,

    We’re sorry for any inconvenience you encountered while trying to resolve your issue.

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

    One of our specialists has contacted you to discuss this and ensure that the appropriate support is provided to resolve your issue.

    Called the claim # and told specialist Bisma what was wrong with washer. We did some testing on washer. Ordered replacement parts. Said would have a technician here Thursday, 7/24/25 between 8-12. Took the day off from work, mind you. No one showed up, so called the # again, told them that nobody showed up. Said that they would see where tech was.

    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.

    I had a terrible experience with Allstate Protection Plan’s customer service when I tried to submit a claim for my Epson printer. After spending nearly TWO HOURS on the phone following their so-called “troubleshooting” steps, the issue with my printer—gaps in the print—was never fixed. 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.

    Their support was not only unhelpful but also completely dismissive of a legitimate issue. After all that wasted time and patience, they refused to provide any form of credit or replacement. This felt like a total scam and a huge waste of my time and money. Avoid Allstate Protection Plan if you want real support or any kind of meaningful resolution.

    My Allstate plan was put into effect on my appliance in May of 2021. I've never had to use it until now. My son has a house in California and Arizona. He lives in California. He has a business there. I live in the house in Arizona. When we purchased the Arizona house, my son bought the refrigerator-freezer for it. That was where the extended warranty came in. When the unit started having problems, I contacted what wound up to be SquareTrade and because it was in my son's name in purchase, we had great difficulty. First of all, with SquareTrade, you don't get to talk to anybody and your choices when you call the number is if you want to do things with your claim or begin a claim. Those are your two choices. We wanted to begin a claim. There was back and forth and there were totally irrelevant questions that they kept going back and forth. It's like there was nobody for me to talk to, and it was very frustrating.

    I did use the chat a couple of times, and that was much better, but again, having to go through the whole story over and over and over. I started talking with Costco's concierge. They were extremely helpful. I talked to four different people trying to get the information that SquareTrade was asking for. They wanted to see our contract. They wanted to see things that we don't have. This was five years ago, and they may be in my son's files, but I don't have access to those. It just went on and on.

    Costco was very gracious, and they kept sending all of the information they had, and the proof that we had the contract, and where we bought it, and how much we paid for it and what the date was. I finally spoke with somebody with SquareTrade, and I said, "I'm trying to go through Costco's concierge, and they're being very helpful, and they sent you everything you've asked for". I don't know who I spoke to, but he snapped back and he said, "We don't want anything from Costco." I said, "Well, first of all, if we have a contract with you, you should have our information in your system. I shouldn't have to be doing all of this hoop-jumping to prove that we have a contract with you. We should be in your system." I have all the numbers, and contract numbers. So, it was very frustrating.

    The item that I submitted a claim for with Allstate was the batteries for the lawnmower. No matter how much you charge them, they were not making the lawn mower go. We didn't know whether it was an issue with the lawn mower or either the batteries themselves. And we only used it last summer twice before we put it inside of our shed and put a cover over it, and left it.

    I went online to try to file it. Then I had someone try to tell me that I needed to call the warranty in through the company. I was telling them that I have short-term memory loss, and I don't know how to do that. I needed help. It's hard for me to even try to do all of that, let alone even try to tell them what my problem was.

    If I would have known that they just want me to call the manufacturer, then I wouldn't have gotten the warranty in the beginning. I would have just said, "I'll just use the manufacturer’s warranty.”

    I finally spoke to the right person, and she helped me get a gift card. I told her I just wanna get the same thing. But they didn't have the same thing, so I ended up getting another lawn mower around the same price. But it was a little bit more I paid out of pocket, about $40 extra. The lady was very good. It wasn't her fault that the person I talked to previously didn't want to help me.

Nothing but the run around and now they say they're doing a video call today to determine what parts are needed. How is that even possible without a physical inspection of the chair. This is a lift recliner, and it's very slow now. And when you turn the massage on in the head rest it's rattling in your ears. Also, the lower half of the massage chair doesn't work anymore. This chair is only two years old. I don't know about all these other people that are writing these wonderful reviews, but it's awful. They don't. Return phone calls. I get conflicting emails from them. I would like a full refund of the purchase price for this warranty because it's not worth the money. I have made nine phone calls trying to get my chair repaired.

    Submitting the claim to Allstate was a bit of a process. Logging on to the website, getting the pictures, I get it. Getting the receipt is the proof of purchase. But there's a lack of notification on the process. I would have to log back in. The product was a $80 product. It's not top of mind for me on a daily basis. It took me two weeks to get it resolved. Part of it was my fault on not going back and checking it. But I would have figured, in today's modern technology, you'd get automated messages like, "Hey, Ricky, the claim is ready for you to sign the affidavit." I had to call in and have them resend it because it was never sent in the first place. I probably wasted at least an hour of my time doing it. It got resolved, but it took way more time than I would have liked.

    We couldn't get the water filter out of the refrigerator. You're supposed to just push it and it pops out. I googled it online, and it showed just pushing it in with your finger and it popping right out. Mine didn't pop out. I was afraid to force it or try to grab it with something and pull it out because I was afraid it would break it. So, I couldn't change the water filter. I could change the air filter, but I couldn't change the water filter. I buy them every three months. I had three of them I couldn't replace because I couldn't get it out of there.

    I called Allstate Protection Plans and had to have a technician come out here. He said, "The design, you have to do it like this, and hit it to knock it out." I said, "I wouldn't even have done that 'cause that's not something I'm gonna do to a machine." It showed on YouTube you punch it in, and it goes in like a button, and then you remove your thumb, and it pops out. That may be the way they wanted it to work when they designed it, but that's not the way it works. The technician said, "It gets stuck in there, right?" I told him, "I was afraid to grab it with something." He said, "Yeah, that's not a good idea." He popped it with his wrist, and it came out.

    I was also having a problem with the icemaker, and he changed out it out beause it wasn't working correctly. You couldn't control when it crushed ice and when it did solid cubes. It has a setting for it, but it wasn't working. Suddenly, I don't know if it was because the water filter was clogged or because it just wasn't working right, but it wasn't producing much ice. He showed me how to get the filter out, and he hit it with his knuckle right on his fist, and it popped out. But that's not what the instructions said, and that's not what it says on YouTube if you Google how to get the filter out. It just shows you punching it. Who would think you'd hit it with your hand to get it out? The guy was great.

    Before Allstate got it, it was very difficult. We called four months before last year, and they said we had to pay the technician to come out, and they would reimburse us. I said, "Why did I pay $250 or whatever it was for the warranty?" It's at least a third to a half of the price if I got to pay for it and claim it to get the money back. I won't do that again. I guess they changed it from whatever the last carrier was to Allstate, and it worked much better. I just called and gave them the claim number, and Allstate took care of everything. That's the way a warranty is supposed to work. When I signed the warranty, there was no mention of any co-pay. There was no mention of any paying it upfront and claiming it back. When they told me that, that was not what we agreed to. I'm glad they changed to Allstate because it worked the way one would hope it would work. It worked exactly as billed, and I'm very happy with the support.

    I got the Allstate protection plan for a 24-inch Ozark Trail mountain bike. The chain kept falling off and the pedal also fell off. When my son would go to switch gears, that's when the chain would keep popping off. I had a hard time trying to register with Allstate, initially. I was doing some live chats but the bulk of the communication was through the app.

    The process itself wasn't that bad. The only issue I had was when I was finally sent a link to choose between three different items. The link was not working. They sent me another one and we may have tried two more times after that. The end result was a gift card back to Walmart, which is where we purchased the bike. My son was able to purchase a new one. It ended up working out well. Overall, I would 100% definitely purchase a protection plan with Allstate. I've used Allstate in the past and I've never really had an issue.

I needed filters, and I was under the estimation I would get up to $50 a year back, not just half price. It was $24.99, and the total for the filter was 49.99 plus tax. That is not what I signed up for. I thought I could make two claims a year, and the filters are about $50. I was a little perturbed about that. I figured that I was probably in the wrong.

    Just pay extra for Allstate Protection Plans. That way, you'll be covered, instead of wasting money. It was a wireless headset and the little box that they came in stopped working and it wouldn't charge after eight months. The next thing I did was I went and bought another pair since they were $30. And the second pair that I got after eight months, the earpiece, one side wasn't working. It’s not like I dropped it, it just stopped working. I remember I had a receipt, so I went to the website and did it that way. It wasn't hard. But it took a minute before I got a response. They sent me an email saying I can pick another pair. So, I'm fine with Allstate as far as everything that has happened. I'm still just trying to figure out which one I can pick and go from there.

    I would recommend Allstate Protection Plans. I've had instances with electrical failures with some items. For the price, I felt it would be worth it. It was a three-year plan that I paid for. Where the cable comes out of the headboard, it somehow got disconnected from inside the unit and it's not as if it could be pushed back in. The lighting part of it wouldn't work after that. I went to the website to file a claim and it was easy. It took a bit of time and they wanted some pictures that I needed to submit. But overall, it was an easy process and the response time is quick. We were reimbursed with a check mailed to my home, not in the full amount. But I remember them saying if we did find something a little more expensive, they would reimburse the rest.

    I have three different Allstate plans for two tablets and an iPad. My Apple iPad stopped charging because it fell, and the charging port wasn't working. At first doing the claim was easy, and then it got hard. I sent the iPad off to them, they sent it back, and said it was fixed. Then it wasn't charging, so I sent it back again and then they gave me $69. I told them an iPad costs more than $69. So, that was a Ring Around the Rosie-type stuff, and it was over a month of calling, and a lot of emailing. But at the end of the day, even though it was difficult, it ended up getting fixed, and they did resolve the problem.

    I made a claim to Allstate and after a short while, it was declined. What I purchased was a portable air conditioner unit. When it failed within the time frame, I was requested to have it repaired. I spent a great deal of time with some of their own suggestions to find a repair shop and nobody was qualified to repair it. At that point, I reached out to the manufacturer to see if they have any recommended places to take it to and I got ghosted by them because it was not under warranty through them.

    Allstate came back with the conclusion that they would replace it with a refurbished unit, which is what it was when I first bought it. It went great. We had a trash day. We threw away the old unit. A day or two later, I find out from them that I then need to take pictures of it instead of telling me that at the beginning, take pictures of it and pictures of the serial number and provide that to them. It was almost immediately telling me that the policy was canceled because I could not meet all the requirements. Nothing happened with it except for a bunch of emails that eventually led nowhere.

However, our Terms & Conditions state that we do not cover when the item is no longer in possession during the claim.

    It went great with Allstate. They handled things very well. Unfortunately, the scooter couldn't be replaced. We got the scooter on clearance, and Allstate kept offering us a child's scooter, but I had purchased an adult scooter. We ended up getting a refund. Submitting the claim wasn't easy and wasn't hard. It was in the middle. One of the numbers that I had been given to try to call to reach the manufacturer was taking me to a Medicare claims place, so I couldn't even reach the manufacturer. It was an ordeal, then we'd have to talk to a different person every time we called back to try to get it figured out.

    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 purchase protection plans for almost everything that's over $100. Recently, my daughter's AirPod Max died on her because she wore them to death. I made a claim with Allstate and the level of ease was amazing. I started online, but I had a concern so I called. I’m old school and I can do everything online, but I still like to make sure that there are no gimmicks or games. So, I called them because they were asking for the serial number and these particular headsets don't have serial numbers. So, I was making sure that they understood that there was no serial number on these items. The person I talked to said that he would finish submitting the claim for me and he was very informative, giving me what to expect and all of the things.

    I was told they were going to email me a label and they did that. I printed it out, boxed the item up, and dropped it off at FedEx drop-off. Then they let me know that they received the item and that they were working on the headset. They sent out the ETA via email and I have gotten a text as well. Then they sent the item back to me. Unfortunately, it still did not work, so I had to call back. They took the item back again and now, they messaged me twice within in a week. Initially, they said they were delaying because they had to get the part. But now, they're shipping me the item as it looks like they have to replace it because they weren't successful in fixing it.

    Everybody at Allstate has been amazing and the price I paid for the protection plan was well worth it. I could buy you a new set with that but with Allstate, I don't have to go through that. I always say, it's cheaper for me to pay for parking than to get a ticket on a street in New York City. The same concept applies to getting an Allstate protection plan. It's cheaper for me to do this.

    The Allstate Protection plan I bought was for a full-size Hardyman's recliner. A big person would be comfortable. And my husband is a bigger guy. He's comfortable in it. It was close to $400. It's a good quality. Just a spring broke. We tried to fix it ourselves thinking we'd find a spring and we couldn't find one like that.

    But what they sent us, looks like it belongs in a dormitory. My 15-year-old daughter does not even fit in the chair. It's tiny. It literally is put together. It's almost like a futon bed, the metal ones that fold down and have a cushion on them. This is not for a home. It sits so low to the ground. I'm 5'4" and my feet are way too close to the ground.

    They gave me three choices of what I could purchase off of Amazon. I looked at them all. This looked like to be the best quality one. But they were all very similar. So I picked this one. They shipped it to my house.

    In the past, I had a recliner that I bought at Big Lots as well and we had a problem with it. They sent me a gift card back to Big Lots for $300. And that was when I purchased this last chair with was the gift card. I actually paid more than the gift card to get a nicer one.

    This time, I didn't get a gift card from Big Lots, even though our Big Lots right up the road is still open. They gave me this chair. It won't even go back in the box. We put it together. The instructions are completely broken English. We had to figure out how to put it together. It was awful. We just spent all this time putting it together.

    I sent an email back telling them about it and I also said I wanna talk to somebody. I want a chair like I had or I wouldn't have purchased the warranty on it. I would take the Big Lots gift card.

    But when I sent the original warranty claim in, they got right back to me and said, "Okay. We'll source you a new recliner." And sent me back within a few days. It was a holiday weekend. It was 4th of July.

    After the weekend, I got an email, “These are your options," and I picked one. I looked back at all of them and they're all pretty much like this, like $250 Amazon recliners. I don't mind having to assemble them, but this all came in one fairly small box. This is a child-sized recliner.

The warranty would be paid off for me, provided I get my refund whenever I get the shipping label printed off and return the icemaker.

    I filed a claim to Allstate for my radar detector and they gave me a Sam's card within an hour or less. They sent me $364.44 right out the gate. It wasn't the amount I paid for the device, but it was almost. And then, they said if I submit the receipt to the new device, which was actually even more than the last one, they would at least give me the difference.

    The first guy told me he was gonna give me all the way up to whatever it cost me to buy it as long as it was the same model. But the second guy said that was baloney. That was the only annoying thing about it. Overall, they did a good enough job. I've used them in the past for my air conditioner and I had it immediately then too.

    I made a claim with Allstate and I was not very pleased. Allstate wasn't gonna honor the warranty because they said the manufacturer should honor it because they're still under the manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer said, "Oh, we're not gonna warranty that. You bought a used item," which I did not. After spending days on the phone, I got Allstate to cover it. I just gotta box the thing back up and ship it to them.

    My most recent claim with Allstate was for my lawn mower. The process went well. I simply just typed in what was wrong with it and it gave me my options. It was quick and easy. It took 15 minutes and they chose to reimburse it.

    Our microwave just stopped working, and it's so weird because it's the second microwave I purchased from Walmart that's done that. It was nice that I got a refund from Allstate. I turned around and bought another one. The new one is working fine. When my first one broke, I brought it back to Walmart and they didn't have any in the store. So, they gave me a more expensive one. When the expensive one broke, I just got refunded the original because the Allstate thing didn't get updated, which is fine because that was originally what I bought. I got a better size anyway. The other one was huge and I don't use it very often. Allstate's claim process was great. I started the process online and then someone called. I also bought two car seats recently and I purchased the warranty through Allstate. It's really easy and everyone was really polite and helpful.

    Part of an item I had wasn't working and when I submitted a claim through Allstate, it wouldn't let me do it online. It said that the item should still be under a manufacturer's warranty, but it wasn't. I had to call in to do the claim and all went good after that. They sent a replacement and it's working fine.

    My phone came apart, separating from the back and the front, and I was very pleased with the way Allstate handled the claim. There was a mixup with the mobile company, but that was on their part. They told me it was one company, but then when I kept pursuing it, I got another representative and he told me that it was SquareTrade instead. Allstate worked with me well. They were knowledgeable and very professional. They gave me another phone and so far, so good. The phone I received was made by the same company, but it's a different model and I'm still getting accustomed to it. I had gotten used to the other one 'cause I had it so long. Now, I gotta figure out a lot of the stuff that this one offers that the other one didn't and I'm navigating myself through that.

    I bought a 55-inch TV two years ago and the cost for the warranty was $50. When the TV went out (no picture, just audio), I called that in and Allstate told me to take a picture of the serial number and the actual TV, showing the four corners of the TV. I sent it in to them, then they confirmed it and said, "All right. Here's three options. Pick one that you want." I picked a new Toshiba and it arrived three days after. I'm very pleased with it. From the whole process to the end, it was within a week and I have a new TV for 50 bucks, so I can't complain about it. It's a good deal. I would advise it for anybody that's buying an appliance over $300 or even over $250. It's not a big investment, but the replacement warranty was good.

    I purchased protection plans on a lot of things in case something happens to them, so I could get them fixed or replaced because accidents do happen. I buy a lot of stuff from Walmart and if there's a protection plan, depending what it is, I usually get it. A protection plan lasts for two to three years and when I submitted a claim once with Allstate, the process was easy. I also always tell my daughter to get protection plans because I had a good experience of putting a claim in.

    I purchased a television that, for whatever reason, would not hold the channel. I bought several other things they told me to buy to boost the signal, like boosters, splitters, and antennas, and it would get a channel and you could be watching a program or the news, then it would say “No signal.” I tried rescanning and everything they suggested, but it was not helping.

    I wanted to keep the television because at my age you don’t like moving things around. I tried everything they told me to try so I could keep the TV, but it simply would not function, so I had to send it back. If I could have gotten that one fixed, I would have, but they told me it would cost more to repair it than to buy a new one. I spoke with the manufacturer, Allstate, and Walmart. Walmart was kind enough to exchange the television for another one since I had bought all the other items they told me to buy. I bought a different TV, and it works better, but it’s still not as good as it should be. The old TV that went out was a far better television.

    I’m not upset with Allstate, and their customer service people are very nice. I just wanted them to reimburse me for the cost of having someone take the TV from my house to Walmart because they would not pick it up, and also reimburse me for the policy that I paid for. I’m on a fixed income, so I was hoping to get some of that money back. I wasn’t asking them to reimburse the full cost of the television, just the minimum for the transport and the policy. I’m still waiting to hear back from Allstate on my claim. They emailed me, and I sent it back with the information they needed, but I haven’t heard anything back yet. I sent the last email about four days ago.

    I just wish companies would be as efficient as Allstate was when they were building their company, because now it sometimes feels like they brush you off. I purchased the policy because I’m a senior with disabilities, and I can’t afford to be without some kind of coverage. I don’t need anything sophisticated on my TV. I don’t use computers, streaming, or any of the modern things. I just want regular television.

    My experience with Allstate has not been well at all. I purchased a tablet and the protection plan on it. The screen tracked on it probably about two weeks later. I filed a claim and they told me that I would get an email within five business days for me to choose another tablet. I never got the email.

    I called them back and they refunded $45. But, the tablet itself was $69. I can't speak to anybody and it all has to be done through text. They texted back and said that that was the government charges. I said, "No, that's not government taxes. The tablet was this, the protection plan was this much, and the taxes was this much. I can't replace that tablet with $45."

    They asked me to send the receipt to them, so I did. They told me that the wrong claim was filed. I said I told them what was wrong with the tablet and someone else filed the claim. They told me they couldn't refund the rest of the money and that they would open up another claim and would send me a new tablet.

    I got another email, and the same thing. I've been going through this since May. And here it is July and I'm still stuck. I'm very dissatisfied.

I gave it out to them and they gave me the mailing label really fast to send it in. They fixed it. I thought they would have to order parts and wait for them, but it got done faster than I expected.

    The last item I purchased Allstate's protection plan for was my electronic toothbrush. Electronic toothbrushes can easily range from $60 and up, and that can be expensive for someone that's usually used to buying a manual toothbrush. When my electronic toothbrush no longer powered on, I started a claim through Allstate's website, which houses all of the claim information and it's where I upload my receipts as well.

    The claims process was very easy. It only gets difficult if people don't have their receipt uploaded, which they have to locate before they can do any type of claim. I got an email from Allstate with the gift card after my claim was approved and I have to add $30 more for another toothbrush. Still, I will give good feedback about Allstate and give recommendations for friends and family members to give it a chance.
