Is square trade only for devices bought on amazon?

Yes it is. When you go to the website to register, the "Purchased At:" field will be pre-populated with "Amazon.com". I called SquareTrade and they confirmed that there is no way to register a product purchased elsewhere through this warranty. They were able to cancel it and I purchased a new one directly through SquareTrade.com. FWIW, it's been over a month and they haven't been able to provide a refund yet, although they insist they are working on it. It might be possible to somehow make it work, but I would suggest using this only for items purchased on

No. You can just go to their website and there will be an option there where you will be asked where you bought the item.

Seems the language has changed. Doesn't say that the phone has to be purchased from Amazon any longer. "SquareTrade Protection Plans sold on Amazon only cover products purchased within the last 30 days."

Per SquareTrade customer service: The protection program is the same. The cheaper price is an Amazon.com special discount. The requirement is that you must have purchased the item from Amazon.com.

Yes, you can use Square Trade,contact them through there website for specifics on the product you are purchasing a warranty for.

No. You can go to www.squaretrade.com and see all sorts of warranties for new and refurbished items. Square Trade is the most recommended on Amazon, Google, etc but you don't have to buy it only on Amazon.

The answer is NO. I purchased a new Ipad on eBay. I called SquareTrade and asked if I could buy the warranty on Amazon for use with an eBay purchase. I was told that as long as the Ipad is new, the Amazon warranty would apply. So, I purchased the warranty on Amazon. When trying to register my Ipad, the "Place of purchase" was "Amazon". This could not be changed. Wanting to make sure that this warranty would apply to my Ipad, I called SquareTrade again and explained the problem. The process to get this straightened out took SEVERAL hours. The calls are outsourced so I was dealing with Indian agents with, for the most part, thick, heavy accents so I had to ask them to repeat themselves again and again and sometimes just giving up on the answer to that particular question. In addition, their comprehension of English was limited. At the end of my first call, the agent thought it was a glitch so he canceled my purchase and told me to buy it again and try registering. After hanging up, I did (it didn't work - same problem). During multiple calls, I was put on hold several times. For one of the holds, I waited over 10 minutes and had to hang up and call back. In addition, my call was dropped several times. Each time I had to call back and start at the beginning. In the end, a supervisor informed my agent that the Amazon warranty only applies to products purchased on Amazon. The Amazon warranty is better (offering longer terms and specials in pricing) than their warranty for other retailers since Amazon their biggest reseller. SquareTrade should make this clear in the description.

The difference is $25.00. Sorry I couldn't resist. The best thing you can do is call Square Trade that way you get the correct info. I believe that plans bought at Amazon are cheaper than plans you can buy directly at Square Trade. Again always best to go directly to the vendor of the product you are considering to purchase.

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, but if you read the comments from other customers you'll discover that it is known for have problems beginning the day you get it. Be sure to insure through Square Trade if you do as Amazon Customer Service will give you problems beyond explanation.

Nope. I bought a PS3 at Best Buy and the Squaretrade warranty here on Amazon. No problem.

This is a really good question. My uneducated guess is "no." While SquareTrade does cover used and refurbished computers purchased on E-Bay it looks like the terms for that coverage are significantly different from the terms of the plans sold on Amazon. Also, the price is a quote that's dependent on the E-Bay seller, etc. and there's no such "look up" or quote feature on any of the plans sold on Amazon. At www.squaretrade.com/our-coverage it says "For Refurbished & Used Items Purchased from eBay: Coverage lasts 1-2 years, as indicated at the time you purchase your Protection Plan. This coverage starts on the day after the manufacturer's warranty expires, or if there isn't a manufacturer's warranty, on the 46th day after your item purchase. Note: This means that your item is not covered for issues occurring within the first 45 days after you purchase your item. Coverage for Used items is only available for items sold on eBay." Good Luck!

Yes, you can. Pretty much Squaretrade will cover any electronics you purchase new from Amazon.com or other reputable retailers / websites. You can get a free quote on Squaretrade's website prior to purchasing the item from a retailer.

I think so. You go onto the square trade website and you register the device with its serial number and such. I don't think where you buy the laptop matters (just make sure it is one that square trade covers). Good luck!

I just called square trade and they told me that it only covers products/laptops purchased on amazon. No where on the amazon sale page does it mention that. It just says you have to purchase the square trade warranty within 30 days of purchasing the laptop. I have 2 days left to get the warranty, ????
