Is the protection plan worth it?

No. This chair is broke the same day I received it. It is in the garage waiting for a dumpster....

The chair broke the first few days I had it, so I didn't need the protection plan; I think I was too big for the chair (6'4" 250+). That shouldn't have mattered and there were no weight (size) restrictions, but keep that in mind. In hindsight, I would have gotten the protection plan, or lost some weight...the protection plan is easier.

The product is secured - as long as you have a police report of stolen property and mail a copy of it. The protection plan will replace the stolen property.

Lauren,IMO I would just get the $200-$250.00 plan. It's still covered for 3yrs against defect and replacement.Hope this helps.

My guess is that it would depend on the individual insurance policy you have. Check with your own insurance company for the most trustworthy response. I purchased this as a gift for my mother, so I did not ask an insurance company to cover the cost. It may also be possible for you to rent the device rather than purchase it, so ask about that option when you speak to your insurance agent.

The plan is a reasonably priced one. They have become a very popular extended warranty company because they are priced right. If you really like the product you buy and just want to cover for the unexpected, it is worth the money.

Most of the time they offer coverage for any valuable item. If the bundle includes items of 199 or above I would get coverage for all items.

Yes, the plan is good for all. You can buy the plan from third-party vendors and it can still be good when you register with Apple online.

I would consider square trade on amazon instead..almost same price but for 3yrs coverage and a better track record than smart guard.Actually, BBB has lots of complaints that were resolved by refunds of the coverage- hence they keep their A rating, but don't pay out claims.

I would recommend the square protection plan if there is a chance of breakage of the device purchased. Filing a claim was very pain-free. I was able to call them (open 24-7) and the service associate walked me through the process (fill out a form that was emailed to me and send the device in with the address label that was also included in email). I would weigh the cost of the protection plan vs the cost of the new device. The second tablet I purchased, I elected not to take the protection plan as the tablet was on sale (less than $50).

Not sure. I would not waste the money on insurance After premiums and deductibles, you would end up paying more than if you just bought it here like I did.

I have a rider on my home owners insurance that covers my lenses. It pays for any damage or loss that I might have with my lense or camera. It is cheaper than extended warranty and covers more.

Hi! When we got this there was not warranty. I think there was an offer for a protection plan that you can add on.

I am not sure, as Mary said I would call them and make sure. Also, the place where you are possibly buying from, may have a protection plan too. I would call the company(s) that offer the protection plans and see which one is most likely to offer the better plan.

No. You can buy it at time of purchase of item (A good idea.) or you can do it later. Another way is not buying say at Amazon but at Best Buy and still going to Square Trade for the Protection Plan. Square Trade makes money because most people do not need to use the plan BUT having it is very nice IF you do need it!

Yes you can... and it will be covered. Square Trade is a good deal and very professional.

Hi, I purchased my LCD for 2100.00, being that i still saved some extra money from the original reduced price I added the protection plan, @ $400 for 5 yrs. The tv is awesome, it comes with its original manufacturers warranty but for a bit more i don't have to worry about accidents for the next 5 years. It covers any non-physical damage.

This is a super-great question!!!! I like the idea of the SmartGuard because it makes me feel more secure even if it is a false sense of security. Yes, that's totally dumb, but I'm just plain going with the laws of probability. Although they just don't make things like they used to, have you noticed that things generally fall apart the day after your last payment or when the warranty expires? Anyway, although I can't make a comment about having to use the extended warranty, I will say that it certainly is a throw of the dice.
