Squaretrade is as good as their word! (don't throw away your receipt) April 6, 2009

I purchased a 42" flat screen tv a few years ago, and was naturally concerned about what to do after the 1 year manufacturer's warranty had expired. The store offered its own extended warranty program, but I was hesitant about putting down hundreds of dollars for a 3 year extended warranty. Surely there was something more economical with the same, or better service?
I heard, via word of mouth, of a third-party alternative called Squaretrade. Intrigued, I checked reseller ratings, and was very shocked to see a lifetime rating of 9.7. I read many of the reviews, and they all consistently praised ST's dedication to fulfilling its warranty promises. Of the few that were not pleased with ST service (and some of them were the customer's fault), I was impressed by the follow-up messages left by ST's representatives to resolve the situation.
Convinced, I ended up purchasing a 3 year warranty through Squaretrade, for just ~$40. ST runs monthly %-off discounts, so you can always get a very good bargain. To clarify, if I remember correctly, the 3 year warranty is really a 2 year warranty, since the first year overlaps with the first year of the manufacturer's warranty. However, you should read the fine print to double check.
Talk about knocking on wood. My TV broke recently, and so I submitted my claim form to ST, which primarily comprised faxing a copy of my receipt to them (don't throw it away!), and describing my problem. I was expecting a reply a few months later, but Squaretrade promises resolution in less than week. I was shocked to find in my email inbox, a message from ST indicating that since it was cost prohibitive to ship my TV back to them for repairs, they would instead be refunding my original purchase price in its entirety, through PayPal. Sure enough, the money was sent the next day.
This is legendary service, the kind consumers dream about. You can buy a ST warranty with complete confidence, and be assured of their guarantees. Regarding TVs, they will not cover certain issues, e.g. burn-in on a plasma, and lamp replacements on DLPs. Again, check the fine print (don't worry, there's not too much to read).
I'm going to be buying all my warranties through ST in the future, recommending them to my friends and families, and making sure my children, and my children's children buy Squaretrade warranties. I wholeheartedly recommend them (and no, I'm not getting paid by ST to write this review).
Great warranty service! May 13, 2009

I bought my one year warranty through SquareTrade for a 26" Westinghouse LCD. I wanted something beyond my 90 day warranty. It was well worth the $30. After 9 months I was having trouble turning the TV on. It would no longer power on. I filed a claim online and was sent a prepaid box via UPS within 5 days. I returned the TV and received a status report every other day. On the fifth day I was told they were unable to repair the TV. I was reimbursed for the full amount I paid for the TV via Paypal within two days. Excellent communication and excellent customer service!

You don't even have to SUBMIT anything UNTIL you file your claim. If the product never brakes, you will never need to claim anything. Just save receipt and you're good to go. Now with Amazon, you don't even have to do that!!!
I have 3 items under warranty!

So far, I've had two defective products sent in for warranty and received a refund on the purchase price on both within a week. No hassles, no silly questions, no jumping through hoops. SquareTrade is awesome!!!

The warranty was an excellent price. The documentation required was easy to provide. However, the true value of the warranty can only be determined if/when I need to use it. We will see what happens at that time.
