Enrolling took a bit longer than I expected. When I received the email with my policy it listed the service fee of $60.00. I called back and someone in the resolution dept said they would correct it and resend the email. That was 3 hours ago and I still haven't received the corrected info.

On October 22, 2018 we filed a claim with Choice Home Warranty to have our oven repaired. They dispatched Sears and when they arrive they told us that the claim was not filed properly and that we would have to pay out of pocket and that there was nothing they could do. So we are called Choice Home Warranty back and told them that Sears was trying to get us to pay out of pocket and they told us to send them away. Since that time Choice Home Warranty has not made an attempt to provide additional service to our home although we have called numerous times.
Today is a November 25 and I just got off the phone with Choice Home Warranty and they now tell me that they do not have any service providers in our area (by the way they are located in New Jersey and so are we.) My husband is also requested that they cancel our policy and they refused to call us back. This is the worst customer service that we have ever experienced and are just hoping that we can get our oven fixed in time for the Christmas holiday.

My gas ignitor needed replacing, my oven would not come on. The stove is an LG. Only 3 years old. Choice had the ignitor replaced and the oven is working fine. I was very pleased they could come on a Sunday.

If I could give them a negative rating, I would. We purchased a home in June of '18 and purchased a Choice Home Warranty "Choice Plus" plan along with the home. Our air conditioner went in August '18. CHW found every loophole that they could to get out of covering the air conditioning unit, to the extent of saying that since we did not have the vegetation (grass) in front of the unit trimmed by a licensed professional, they would not cover the air conditioner.
Learning from our mistake, we had a licensed professional come service our furnace that same week to make sure our bases were covered if anything happened with the furnace. In November, the furnace went out with a cracked heat exchanger. Once again CHW weaseled out of covering the furnace. On the plus side, the people at CHW are very polite when they tell you that you have been denied coverage. Choice Home Warranty gives this entire industry a bad rep.

Holy crap... The salesman was extremely rude and disrespectful. There is a difference between being direct and being a rude douche. He was completely inappropriate and unprofessional in the way he communicates with potential customers. Can only imagine how a service request would be handled if this is the type of person the company hires. Will never get a home warranty plan with Choice Home Warranty and recommend you think twice.
Choice Home Warranty makes every effort to enhance the sales experience, therefore, we appreciate your feedback.

Furnace went out during cold weather (of course), faulty flapper valve, obsolete part. Of course, they did not cover it. Was told we should have cleaned/replaced. Had to buy new furnace with no help from this company. My advice is, do not use this company, they will find a way to come out on top. The maintenance clause is their weapon. It’s a money-losing scam for the consumer. A “valued customer” I certainly am not.

Just had the worst customer service experience ever. I put in a request for service on a water heater problem and Choice promptly denied and closed my account saying that they do not cover the main water heater. I'm no technician but I don't see the purpose of covering a water heater if the water heater itself is not covered. The company were quick to refer me to the fine print wording that says excluded items of their water heater coverage are "Access – Insulation blankets – Pressure reducing valve – Sediment build-up – Rust and corrosion - Main, Holding or storage tanks - Vents and flues - Thermal expansion tanks - Low boy and/or Squat water heaters - Solar water heaters - Solar components - Fuel, holding or storage tanks - Noise - Energy management systems - Commercial grade equipment and units exceeding 75 gallons - Drain pans and drain lines - Tankless water heaters.
Oh and you might ask, what is covered? Here's the fine print on that. "All components and parts, including circulating pumps". SO it covers all components and parts except the actual water heater. Don't expect to get a replacement tank from choice if yours goes out because the main tank is not covered. Absolute horrible service. I'm going back to my old company.

A neighbor had recommended them to me and raved how good they are but my first call to use their service was nothing but a disaster and their service was even worse. They try to send someone who was charging full diagnostic price when they said first call was 60 dollars. Then they sent some who was not professional at all to take a look at my AC unit and in 2 seconds recommended something to Choice which they said they don’t cover. It took 3-4 weeks for them to call me back and when I complained they still didn’t do anything. I asked why it took this long to contact me and they said, "I’m the only one dealing with the problems." How does a company only have one person in the complaint dept. They are a horrible company and even worse customer service.

When my heat went out the day before Thanksgiving and I called to submit my claim, I was told that I would probably be contacted the day after Thanksgiving, To my pleasant surprise, I received simultaneous landline and cell phone calls, plus an email on Thanksgiving, advising me that a technician would be at my home on Friday morning.

We purchased Choice Home Warranty after researching other coverage and Choice Warranty was rated higher than most. I have, since then, that none of the home warranties are worth purchasing. Our washer and dryer were giving us problems. We called Choice Warranty and they sent a repairman who recommended replacement in lieu of repairing the appliances. We were told we would receive $350 per item. If anyone has shopped for a washer and dryer lately, you know how ridiculous these prices are! We owned a Maytag commercial grade washer and dryer. To purchase these, the cost was over $2000+. We protested without receiving another dime! Therefore, the balance came out of our pockets. So much for Choice Home Warranty!
Then, our air conditioner quit working. Again, we called Choice Warranty and they arranged for a repair service call. After, no air in the middle of the summer, the repairman came. He called Choice Home Warranty with the problem. Again, they recommended repair instead of replacement. The repairs totaled $3000+. Choice Home Warranty denied the claim totally. The repairman called them and sent them a detailed invoice and the reason for the failure of the system. Again, they denied the claim. After many calls, letters, emails from the repairman and his company, they agreed to pay us $300. My husband and are 82 and 77 and it became too much of a battle to continue attempting to collect the full amount, so we accepted the $300. I would suggest to anyone who owns a home to save the monies paid to Choice Home Warranty and open an account at a bank for future appliance repairs.

I did not like the response I got on the order I put in for microwave. I believe myself it needs repaired. It made loud humming sound and a large bright spark under the product. I live alone/w 2 small dogs. I hope it doesn't happen again and start a fire. It's 18 years old appliance. I was very disappointed in your decision call. If I had my last warranty co.

Updated on 11/30/2018: 2nd time I complained. You were sending a new tech and Lonestar appliance was scheduled to come out yesterday between 3 -8PM and I called them at 6PM asking if they were still coming and VOICE MAIL NO REPLY AND A NO SHOW. I have been dealing with this claim since Nov 21st. These are the service providers you send out to your customers!!! You need to focus on customer service and screen your providers much better. I paid you for service and for the insurance for PEACE OF MIND repairs and all you have done is aggravate me with your horrible customer service and beyond horrible service providers.
Original Review: Microwave still not working. A-joe came out Wednesday Nov 21 at 11am and said it needs to be replaced not repaired.

No one was rude. They did what they could which was put me in a queue at your mercy, and wait for a call. The first one had a full voicemail so I couldn't call with the number you left. When I found an alternate number he all but cursed me and said I'm in Vegas. Find someone else. I call back go through the process again and get someone who tells me they'll come earlier but the guy never shows and they never call to tell me. Plus they were plumbers and really didn't know if they could fix my dishwasher.
I finally get a guy who through some weird coincidence I thought you guys had scheduled but he turned out to be someone whom I'd spoken to who actually made a follow up call while I was waiting for a call back from the no show guy. Anyway, I have this guy at my house. I call the Customer Service number and I can't escape a sales call from you people. She was strongly trying to push roadside assistance. So here I am with an appliance repair guy and I get a woman whose only purpose is to upsell me.
It took a good half hour with the tech and me calling to get someone from the authorization dept. Then we get some guy who has the nerve to say he never heard of the part the guy wanted to replace. That was another 15 to 20 minutes while he him hawed over a very reasonable repair cost of $213. Leave the repairs to active professionals in the field, without second guessing when the price is this reasonable. Very disappointing. Lastly, why don't you people have a list to provide customers. I don't like being at anyone's mercy and that's where you left me.

Have used this company twice and will not continue with them when my year is up. They have NO technicians nor plumbers. I live in a town of 130,000 so this is not some isolated area.

I have placed three claims with Choice Home Warranty and they have found a way to deny every claim. The contractors they use are not reliable and of poor quality. The last claim we filed Sears Repair was supposed to come give the diagnosis, they were a no show the first day and they rescheduled after not showing up then they missed their appointment by over an hour and a half. The technician diagnosed the problem and went to call Choice and when he had to wait for over 30 minutes to leave a call back number he got upset and just left, leaving the job undone and not cleaning anything up. This is not typical of Sears. Choice would not do anything about the mess. They do not honor claims as advised.

Getting service man out was fast and he was very polite and knowledgeable. However, when you said it had to be replaced (and we needed one right away so we pretty much had to accept your pitiful offer), I called to ask what we could get if we declined, I couldn't get any good information. We were afraid of not being able to get a top loading, American made machine and the girl I talked to didn't have any answers for me. So we went to Home Depot and bought one of the cheapest machines and had to pay about $200 more than the money you offer. Where you think you can get a washing machine for $350 is beyond me. Guess that is how you make your money. Needless to say, we are not very happy with you right now.

Unfortunately, I feel that an older couple was taken advantage of by being charged for a service call that required no repair. The furnace switch was inadvertently switched from auto to on. The technician charged me $60.00 plus a credit card service fee to switch the thermostat back to auto. An act of goodwill of not charging us would have been a more appropriate action. This way when a real problem with the furnace occurred, I would immediately have a trustworthy service to call. I will go out of my way to have everyone I know, NOT, use 5 Star Home Services because of the decision to charge me anyway for 5 minutes. The whole experience left a bad impression for me and felt a bit taken advantage. These comments will also be posted with every rating site I can find online. Sorry to inform you of a negative rating. I will have to rate the experience poor because of this.

I purchased a homeowner's warranty from Choice Home because I had a 22 year old furnace/air handling system that was working fine but I was concerned that it was beyond its useful life. The policy said that if I had a problem due to normal wear and tear, they would either repair it or replace it. I also had a preventative maintenance plan covering the unit so it was being maintained properly. When the motor finally failed, their service tech relayed information regarding the age of the system and told them this was due to normal wear and tear. I sent them a copy of my PM service contract as well. They denied the claim. I was assigned a Case Manager once I contested their decision. She was very unresponsive, never replied to my emails and took about 3-4 days to reply to my many voice messages. She told me she was very busy.
Obviously, denying customer claims. This problem occurred in FL and it was hot out. The case manager knew I needed to repair this item quickly so I could have AC working in my home. The motor problem was a $2,000 repair item. The case manager offered $200 to help offset my cost. Not only was this unfair but completely unethical. Their very own service technician said it was normal wear and tear, however, someone on the other end of the phone deemed it to be not covered. I would not recommend doing business with this company. The pattern is clear. They will do whatever they have to not cover claims.

Where to start. I had a small leak in my upstairs bathroom only when flushed. Choice sent Discount Plumbing and Drain. They came, adjusted some bolts on the tank and left. It was a stormy night here in North Carolina so I did not notice the dripping sound in the house. The next morning when I left I found my laundry room ceiling leaking and falling in and upstairs in the bathroom a flood. I called the plumbing co who came, fixed something and let me speak to the owner. He said take pictures and he would fix the damage. He did not want any problems. Well here it is 2 weeks later. He never answers any calls, so I called Choice who explained to me that they are not responsible for the actions or damage of their technicians. That is no answer.

We gave David $60 to examine and fix our Sub Zero fridge that was not cooling properly and building up ice --- 45-49 degrees in the refrigerator. David said he would order a new electric defroster.

That was a month ago and he never came.
We called Mr. ** with American Refrigeration and he came the next day and said our Model Sub Zero does not have an electric defroster and needs to be defrosted manually 2-3 times a year. We did this and the temp went down to 38-42 degrees, which is a big improvement. Mr. ** didn't charge us anything since he said he felt sorry for us because David and Choice Warranty had misled us with this and the fan motor reimbursement.
One suggestion Mr. ** made is that Choice should never send a mechanic who lives 100+ miles away from the customer because he has no incentive to return especially if he misdiagnosed the problem in the first place. David seemed to be unprofessional and asked us several times if we would like to trade our extensive wine and scotch collection for the repair cost.One bright note, a very nice Jamaican man, Mack came out Monday to fix our 4 yr old Whirlpool oven. He said it needs a new control panel behind the digital display. He said it might take a few days. If he repairs it by next Monday, we'll be very happy.

This product is a scam! One indication is the inclusions versus the exclusion. I called because my refrigerator went out. I guess it was classified with no urgency because it took over a month to get the repair tech here and of course the problem was within their written exclusion. Really. How could it not be.

Since my last discussion with them, the service provider has informed me that they will no longer work for them either. And that was a provider hired by Choice!!!

Original Review: This is my last try with a home warranty company. I've owned my home since 2002 and am a single mom. I don't know how to do many repairs, but I have done property management and know how expensive repairs can be. Sadly, I switched to Choice Home Warranty after my last home warranty company gave me the run around about fixing some appliances. I saw an ad saying Choice Home Warranty was "top rated" and back by the "Better Business Bureau." I called and was assured that they would take care of my heating/cooling systems, appliances, electrical, plumbing and more. I told them I live at the beach and they said "no problem."
Well, apparently it was a problem. My heat pump stated freezing up so I reported the problem and was required to pay the $60.00 co-pay after waiting over a week for a tech to come by. I didn't hear anything else. So, I finally sent an email asking for the status. I received the following: "It has determined the cause of failure of your system is with the evaporator coil, which is leaking refrigerant and must be replaced. Evaporator coils that leak have been exposed to corrosion or acidic materials that have infiltrated the air stream and air flow throughout the house and have damaged the integrity of the coil. The acidic agents cause sections of the coil to become corroded and/or rusted which are weakened and develop tiny pinhole or microscopic leak. Additionally the accumulator is rusted and corroded causing a refrigerant leak."
To start with, how do they know there is acidic air in my house? I do all routine maintenance. I live at the beach. There is bound to be rust somewhere on something. So, in digging, I find that there are multiple complaints with the Better Business Bureau and that Choice Home Warranty is not affiliated or backed by them. I never would have trusted or purchased their product if I hadn't seen the reviews. Apparently they write articles and publish them online to make themselves look good. I believe that is called "misrepresentation."
If they do not want to fix it then they never should have sent a tech in the first place. They have no problem taking my money each month. I called to have this reviewed and I am told I have to WAIT again for a callback. Please! Please! Please! Don't trust these people! It is a scam! They have loopholes to get out of any repairs. They misrepresent. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

This company does not cover the said items. Requesting a full refund of all monies paid to Choice Home Warranty due to the handling of claim which left me with a leaking shower pipe (that leaked into my dining room), misrepresentation of services offered, delay in service for immediate leak, and disgust over having the plumber come in and note additional shower issues which included shower value and needing to adjust water pressure. Rather than fix the immediate need of the leaking pipe, the company chose to close the claim and not fix the issue. This was after I paid them over 1,100 dollars for the contract period. Claim requesting a full refund of all monies paid to Choice Home Warranty due to the handling of claim (listed in this email below), misrepresentation of services offered, delay in service for immediate leak, and disgust over services not rendered in the contract.
Letter sent to then for appeal: False advertising is not acceptable. I signed up for your service and I am truly dissappointed for several reasons. 1. I put in a claim for a plumbing leak and you sent out a technician who did nothing. The shower is leaking into the dining room and the water was turned off at the house by me until fixed. The technician said he noted other issues which have nothing to do with the immediate need. Water from the shower drain pipe is leaking into my home (into the dining room). This is an easy fix.
Yet your technician came out for two hours and noted 1. drain pain leaking causing pipe to leak in dining room, 2. Wants to replace shower parts (value) which I did not put in an order for, 3. Water pressure (which I asked you all to check as part of this service). Number 1 is the most pressing issue. I paid over 1,190 for this plan and this is the service that you offer? This is ridiculous. I am requesting a full refund since your service does not honor the plumbing portion of the contract. There is no way that this claim should have been closed out knowing that the leak at the house is still there, the plumber never fixed the leak, but the plumber noted other issues (that are not leaking). And you want to charge me a service fee for a problem that you did not fix 11/19/2018? Claim Details # ** (Georgia).

I have been having various challenges that could never be fixed by Choice Home Warranty. First, they charge you to have someone come by and take pictures of the problem. Then, depending if there is an agreement on how to fix something, they will tell you to schedule a meeting with the service provider. In many cases, I have had to call the service provider and they told me that my request had been closed by Choice Home Warranty. Managers are never available to discuss issues and, after 2 years of paying and not getting services desired, it is easier to buy services straight from trusted vendors than use Choice Home Warranty. They will not provide you with an email address, and are just there to take your money.

I am dissatisfied for feeling mislead in your warranty. You market to veterans but... I am still awaiting approval from you to order parts for my Washer/Dryer. Therefore the job is not completed! Why do you waste the time of sending out the service person, to only tie up their hands in not allowing them to immediately begin work w/out your approval. They are the professional you contracted with to do the job. In addition it wastes my time.
In essence, your promise of service w/in 48 hrs is not honestly true. It just means 48 hrs to have a look, but no true service is performed. I have heard several different service people and customers in the area complain about your process. I have had other warranties before and have never experienced this type service! Yes, they charge a little more for the service call, but at least it was handled immediately without someone second guessing their decision of what was needed to repair the item. We live in a military community, we all share experiences. We travel the world and nation... I'll wait for the final outcome before sharing, to see if you listen and consider changing this process.

I tried to tell CHW Customer Service agent that I wasn't satisfied with the Tech from Weather World (came for the initial diagnosis), more than an hour late, to my home. He did not give me the feeling that he knew what he was doing. As I reported in my original claim that the furnace was coming on fine but would turn off after a few seconds - repeatedly - all day.
The agent immediately told me that the pilot and the sensor MAY need cleaning - after my request that he check the control board as the furnace was coming on but not staying on so I thought it was more of a control issue -- he proceeded to unplug wires randomly and started to tap (with his screwdriver handle) on different parts including the gas valve. I know there was nothing wrong with the valve because the gas was being supplied every time the pilot would light. Turning off of the furnace was control issue. But after he had banged the gas valve and other parts repeatedly for 20 to 30 minutes the furnace stopped to light altogether.
I know he caused the gas valve to go bad by constantly banging on it and also by pushing it up/down/sideways. I am totally dissatisfied with his diagnosis and if the gas valve need replacement it is because of him. When I filed my claim I documented that the furnace would come on every time. NOW IT DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL AFTER HIS BANGING ON THE SYSTEM.

Updated on 11/30/2018: Douglas Mechanical came out promptly and fixed my heating system, even giving me tips on how to save electricity with my system. However, the prior claim to fix this problem cost me money I should not have spent. The tech sent from Weather World by Choice was totally wrong in his assessment of my problem and he failed to correct.
He replaced a chipboard and told me I needed a new Gas Control Valve installed which was not covered by my policy, so I spent $60 for valve and installation only to find out from Douglas Mechanical that was NOT my problem and the system was correctly fixed. But I am now out $260.00 because Choice contracted an inexperienced tech from Weather World when they should have contracted a tech from Douglas Mechanical. What is the point of having a policy with Choice if it costs much more than the $45 fee? Not to mention the inconvenience during the cold weather we had. I will not recommend Choice to anyone.
Original Review: Very unhappy. Heater unit would not light. Told the heater gas valve was not covered even though it is a vital part of the operation of the furnace.

They will make you a believer like me. I have been a satisfied customer for five years. Try them, you will like their professionalism.

I'm very happy with my experience with the plumber that came to repair my toilet problem. I was called and notified that he would be coming in one hour. When he showed up they put shoe covers on before entering my home. They quickly diagnosed the issue. I paid the deductible and they repaired the toilet and were gone in 1/2 hour. Both men were very courteous and friendly.

TERRIBLE experience 2/2 times... AC: Service company technician assigned by CHW stated that my AC was hit by lightning and needed to be replaced. Claim DENIED. Had another diagnostic done by another service company who determined it was a broken switch which could be replaced by electrician. Total of 9 days and $160 later FIXED at my own expense.
HEAT: Service company technician assigned by CHW stated it was pressure switch - had to order parts. Replaced pressure switch and then stated that it wasn't pressure switch and the air exchange had to be replaced because the vent stack showed corrosion and may be clogged. Claim DENIED. Had another diagnostic done by another service who stated that there was a mud dauber nest in pipe and he promptly cleared it - heat turned on right away. 2.5 weeks and $98 later FIXED at my own expense. There were long delays due to contracted company technicians wrongly diagnosing problem both time and suggesting that I replace items = could not be repaired. Both service calls were a waste of my time (off work) and I had to pay to have repairs made myself.

Technician came twice, we paid $45 and did not even fix the problem. Nothing is fixed, house is still cold! I called customer service claim dept, told me to wait till they hear from technician. So take technician word against what the customer is telling them. Unbelievable!

Had a washer issue on a Saturday, just stopped mid-cycle. Called CHOICE HOME WARRANTY immediately at 1:15 pm... finally getting to use the service. I was told I would receive a call in 4 hours for appointment. No call! I called back again and they said well maybe because it's a Saturday on a holiday weekend (VETERANS DAY) it could take longer, maybe 24-48 hours. Work Clothes are in my washer and the door is locked and will not open. Monday comes still no call. I called them and they said they can't find a service provider for my area. Clothes still in washer, washer still locked. Called on Tuesday morning. I don't know... We can't find a service provider to accept the call. Not sure how long I was to wait until I had some sort of idea of a time frame. Just let me hanging out to dry. Unlike my clothes.
Finally I called my own service provider who came out in 1 hour. Opened up the washer for me and diagnosed the problem. While I was assisting the technician at my home, I get a call. Choice Home Warranty stating an appointment was set for Thursday. 6 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE occurred. When I called to cancel the appointment they set, I told them I had found my own technician. They said that technician needed to call authorization to get approval to do the work. What an ** joke these people are. I ended up finding my own technician, something they couldn't do and now they want that technician to bend over backwards to accommodate them.
Will not be renewing my contract with this scam of a company. Be upfront and honest with people, don't lie to them! Home warranty was suppose to ease the stress of issues with the house. This company compounded the issue. The only thing consistent about this company is their ability to say I DON'T KNOW! I find it hard to believe I was the first person in the history of the company existence in which they couldn't find a service provider. Need a better answer other than I don't know!!! SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!

My first experience getting a repair done with Choice Home Warranty has been frustrating, and unprofessional. I had a technician come to my house from Sears to diagnose and repair the machine. He diagnosed quickly, but he was on hold for 45 minutes with Choice in order to get permission to fix. Finally, he had to leave even though it was a simple lid-switch repair, and he had the part in his truck. A ten minute fix. Finally, I receive a call back from Choice after a 71 minute wait. The repair was approved...of course. So I had to call Sears back to reschedule a repair person to come to back to the house, to do the simple repair that could have been done previously which will cost me another 40 dollar service charge, and take another three days.
I will wait to see if this 40 dollars ever gets refunded, as only the original repair price was approved, but Sears charges another 40 dollars to make a second trip out, because I had to "decline" the repair the first time a technician came to the house. Originally, when I filed a claim I assumed Choice would find a repair person to fix my washing machine, but they required me to find a repair person, which lead to multiple problems. Sears had to treat the entire repair as an individual repair as if I didn't have a home warranty, because I had to schedule the repairman from Sears. Then get pre-approval, (on hold for 71 minutes) to fix. The technician from Sears was great, it was Choice that has been very frustrating to work with.

I suggest that you do not buy a Warranty from Choice Warranties. When you have an item that needs to be replaced ie. Dishwasher, Oven, the price they offer you is not even close to a replacement cost. I had a dishwasher and oven replaced and each time and only $300 was offered. The dishwasher was over $600 to replace and the oven will be over $900 to replace! Very shady... They put it in their contract that they can offer you a cash settlement. However, the settlement is always less than 3rd of replacement cost. I'm embarrassed that I even signed up with such an unethical company!

Central heater repair - Technician claimed it was a bad installation a d charged me a additional $35. The system has not been touched since Oct 17 a d worked fine last winter for heat and all summer for the AC. Doubt if his finding of faulty installation was accurate. I believe somehow the wires may have come loose but I am at a total loss to figure out why or how. If I had contacted the repair company direct I would have saved $45. Very disappointing experience this time.

I called on Sunday 11/11/18, & was connected to ROY. I asked many questions about your policy, decided to purchase & explicitly told ROY I could NOT have this withdrawn from my account until the second Wednesday of EVERY MONTH. We decided on the “17” of each month & the first payment coming out on NOVEMBER 17th 2018... Much to my DISMAY— it was taken out IMMEDIATELY!! I called back, spoke to another representative STAN. He was so RUDE! Telling me I must have MISUNDERSTOOD! Oh NO. No misunderstanding on my part.
Today 11/12/18... I called & was connected to Jessica who was suppose to put me through to a Supervisor but put me back into the queue, and Takiah answered... Was essentially as RUDE. Kept trying to hang up with me talking & left me on hold another 5 minutes, & then hung up! I then received an email telling me I WOULD NOT BE REFUNDED MY MONEY!!! She said I WOULD! As I insisted better happen, especially within 24 hours!! This is a disgraceful way to run a business & I will NEVER SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE!! Horrible customer service, & no regard for the CUSTOMER! Reporting to BBB.

Spoke with "Nicole". She was very pleasant. Let me know that she was doing me a favor because we have several policies with you by giving us $200.00 towards the replacement of our garage door opener. Tired of the trial of getting coverage for the item, I agreed. Your ad paints a scenario that things get old and will break...Choice will let you be worry free concerning things that will break and need to be fixed or replaced (this is not verbatim) and when your technician shares with me that the motor just wore out due to age (not due to any other outside factors but just normal wear and tear and age) I'm told that that is not a good reason for the breakdown. And that you will not cover it (technician said it would be $500.00 +/- tax depending on Choice fixing it or me fixing it).

The notification time to locate our own tech was much longer than 24 hrs - tenant was without heat or hot water for days waiting for problem assessment. It took less time for claim rejection. Now we must go through the appeal process to get the coverage we purchased. This is second time a major appliance replacement has been denied. News reports of past CHW practices make me wonder if we have been duped as well.
