I’m assuming the reason they have a 4.9 is from paying Revdex.com for the rating. I have called and emailed square trade about 6 times about a warranty for a handsfree device. Still no gift card, refund, or communication from the company. The last time I spoke to square trade they had said the email gift card had been having problems for sometime and they would mail me a check. I would have said check with in 15 days. Two months later still no check or reason why. I will never buy a squaretrade warranty again.
Absolutely Terrible.
Bought a phone with a missing button, and I thought nothing of it. The phone still worked perfectly, so I wasn't terribly excited.
Today, the phone went into safe mode while I was playing a game, and no longer works.
Squaretrade will not help me because of the missing button.
I have wasted my time, frustration, and money, on a worthless program for the last time.
The option menu is confusing. We just hit a number to get an agent and they had to transfer us to the right dept. Once we got in touch with the right dept, it was 45 mins to file a claim! But the person we spoke with was courteous and helpful. I received the reimbursement within the time stated, however it would have been better if they just sent a new tablet.
Bought a camera on *** but had a problem. It was made in *** and the company had no repair or support. Couldn't even contact the company that claimed a one year warranty. Square trade refunded the purchase price.
I was thoroughly pleased and impressed with my experience with Square ***. From the initial contact they were professional and it was obvious they were customer service oriented. They outlined the plan and the time frame of the process. Before the day was over I was contacted by them several times by email to inform me of the status of my claim and each correspondence brought the claim window a shorter time until resolution. The utilized a 3rd party to take care of part of the process and it was also obviou they were just as eager to resolve the matter. I have never had anyone in the customer service business to treat me any better and satisfy my need than this company. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
Their service is time effective. We received our repaired item in no time at all.
I submitted a picture of my TV and was told that the damage was due to external sources. The TV is mounted on the wall with no type of heat source around it, not even direct sunlight. I clearly smelled the TV burning so I unplugged it. Because I was told it was due to a external source, Squaretrade won’t honor my warranty
We apologize we were unable to approve this claim.Squaretrade TV warranties include extensive coverage against hardware and electrical failures due to normal usage. Unfortunately none of our TV warranties offer coverage against physical or accidental damage, this coverage would be necessary to cover burning or cracks to the device display.Squaretrade specialists are extensively trained to recognize this type of damage and in this situation multiple specialists reviewed the provided images. Due to this we are unable to approve this claim.
Easy submission process and fast response
My son cracked his tablet all over and I sent it in and they repaired it super fast no questions asked. Looks brand new again. They returned it 2 day shipping.
Great service!
Easy claim file.Prompt fixed my computer hinge,fast return
I purchase appliance insurance from square trade. I filed a claim and was directed to mail my appliance *** to a reputable repair shop. I did so. Once I received, and paid for($379.15), my repaired appliance, I went ahead and finished filing my claim with Square Trade. They requested a copy of the receipt and I did so. Then they said they don't accept hand written receipts. So I requested a non hand written receipt from my reputable repair shop and went ahead and emailed that in. They stated that the receipt needs to be itemized. So I itemized the receipt and emailed that in. then they stated that it didn't show the amount that I paid. So I circled the amount and sent that in. They stated that the receipt still doesn't show the amount I paid. I circled and zoomed in on the amount on the receipt and sent that in. then they stated that the receipt was not itemized. So I circled the itemized items on the receipt and sent that in. They stated that the receipt was blurry. So I sent another HD, full color, copy of the receipt and also a extra zoomed in 2 page printout of the receipt. Then they stated that I didn't provide a copy of the repair receipt. So I sent in a copy of the checks that were written to the licensed repair shop and also bank statements showing the cashed checks written to the licensed repair shop. Then they stated they need a copy of the receipt showing the repair location name, repair price itemized, date of purchase and the item name. That has all been sent to them in ALL the previous emails. I will gladly include all the images if need be.
We apologize for any delays experienced with this claim. In this instance Squaretrade has not denied the reimbursement for this consumer but we need additional documentation in order to proceed. A specialist from Squaretrade has established contact with the consumer and discussed what is needed to finalize this claim. We appreciate the consumer's patience and look forward to resolving this concern.
Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Sincerely
n August 2018, I bought my wife a LED desk lamp at ***. When I bought the lamp, the *** cashier pressed the sale of a SquareTrade (ST) warranty because it would pay for any defects in the lamp for up to two years. He showed me a ST info sheet which contained the same info as their website: "SquareTrade Protection Plans covers all mechanical/electrical failures that happen during normal use, such as button failure, depleted (non-replaceable) batteries, and non-responsive charging ports or audio jacks. Plans that include accident protection also cover damage from accidents like drop and spills."
In March 2019, the switch quit working. On March 13, 2019, I tried to log into ST website and it refused my email address. I then called ST. The first ST representative dropped the connection with me and never called back. The second ST representative was worthless. After 15 minutes of waiting for a manager*** came on the. He promised to take care of registering my claim and promised me three times to call me the next day to confirm that my claim was filed and update me on the status. *** did NOT call me back the next day. I was finally able to register on-line and file a claim (lamp quit working after 8 months). ST declined the claim, saying I should contact the manufacturer within the first 12 months. The item has been discontinued by *** and the manufacturer can not be reached. After 45 minutes, *** agreed to refund me the cost of the lamp (but not the warranty). I will never ever buy a ST warranty again. I am sending this complaint to the Revdex.com in San Francisco. In my view, the ST warranty system is a scam designed to refuse claims or wear down the client.
I sent my TV in to get fixed and was told my TV is unable to get fixed ..I received an email stating that I should pick out a TV based on what they want me to get..The warranty paperwork I have states that if my TV can not be repaired I will be reimbursed the original tv purchase price ...Square trade refuses to do this ...I would like to choose my own new TV like I did the first time , the TV's they have chosen for me are ones I am less likely to purchase ...I purchased the extra warranty on my TV because of the guarantee that I would be payed back if something would go wrong...My tv wasn't even 2 years old and barely used and a better brand then the ones offered ..I feel they should follow through with what they say and send me a check so I can go pick out a TV I would actually enjoy
We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our warranties.Per the contract for this consumer's warranty Squaretrade will offer a repair, replacement or reimbursement resolution per our discretion. Reimbursement is a resolution typically reserved if repair or replacements have been determined to be unavailable, which is not the case in this instance.When we look to replace a TV we base our offers on the technical specifications of the consumer's original item. If this consumer feels our offers are not providing comparable specifications we request that we are notified of these concerns. However, we are unable to migrate the claim to reimbursement per request. We again apologize for any inconvenience.
Squaretrade states in section 5 of our warranty contract we will "Repair Your Product, or; Provide a cash settlement or a Gift Card reflecting the replacement cost of a new product of equal features and functionality up to the Coverage Amount, or; Replace Your Product with a product of like, kind, quality and functionality."Being that we have offered a replacement resolution we are meeting our obligations beneath this warranty.
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I bought the warranty, thinking that if my TV broke I would be able to to pick out a my new TV...also when I bought my TV I chose a sharp for a reason not these other brands...
Sincerely
I sent in my iwatch series 2 to get repaired. I had to mail it . I wrapped the watch in bubble wrap and sent it out. I took extremely good care of this watch and bought a few cases for it. When I sent it out there was no screen crack. The screen was in good condition. I got a claim # ***. I saw through the website that the claim was approved and then the next day the case was closed. I used a chat service off their website to find out what happened and I was told that there was a crack on the screen. I let them know I sent it out with no crack on there screen. It was either damaged during transport or in their care. Either way once it is mailed out it is in their care. They broke my screen and they will not fix it because that is their excuse. They said they took pictures but did not show me those pictures and would not help me any further.
We apologize we were unable to service this item.Squaretrade Standard warranties include extensive coverage against hardware and physical failures so long as they are not the fault of physical or accidental damage. In this instance the consumer's claim was initially approved based on the description of the failure.However, once the item was received at our repair center Squaretrade technicians determined this product showed signs of impact damage. Due to this we are unable to repair the product and we have shipped it back to the consumer.We understand the consumer requested images of the relevant damage and these images have been forwarded to the email address on file. We again apologize for any inconvenience.
We apologize if the consumer feels Squaretrade technicians damaged this item.Squaretrade technicians are extensively trained to handle electronics and all items are inspected when received to verify the condition they arrived. This process often includes documentation of the item condition via photos, as has occurred in this situation. Squaretrade audited this item upon receipt and has provided pictures to the consumer showing the condition it arrived in.Being that this product arrived to Squaretrade physically damaged we are unable to provide service to the product.
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I took the watch to Apple. Apple said it was not physically damaged. They said the battery swelled up and pushed the screen out. They replaced the unit. Your highly trained technicians could not figure that out. You made me loose time and money because you did not provide a service. You did not do your job. I’m extremely disappointed by your managers and representatives that had no clue how to handle the situation.
Sincerely
I felt your agents handled my issue promptly and professionally. I will highly recommended to my friends and family about your service. Thank you.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!
Where do I start? I purchased an *** one controller last year and added a 2 year sqauretrade prorection plan. I read many good reviews, I feel most if not all are false/paid advertisement. This is a completly HONEST review, and I never review anything.
So I purchased my protection plan, as an *** one controller is not cheap. It broke, things happen, the button on the pad just stopped working. Thing is a dime a dozen. So after owning for 5 months, it broke. Now time to call Squaretrade for my warranty plan that I paid for. I would hope it was easy and the process I could send any and all proof of my broken controller.
I ended up having to call 3 seperate times.
- 1st call - The phone prompt and buttons to push just to get to an agent is OUTRAGEOUS. You are on the phone confused and don't know which agent to respond to. Just fair warning!
When I finally got an agent the man on the phone partially spoke english and couldnt understand anything I was saying. After having to repeat myself 3x on every letter to spell my name, address, email...finally I got somewhere. He then says my warranty won't work as it is covered under manufacture warranty through ***
I tell him thank you and call *** Better said than done. *** doesnt have a call center for *** warranties. Just an online VR prompt customer agent. The prompt asked me for my serial number on the controller.
I input my serial number. It comes back that this controller is not under warranty. And they actually don't warranty *** controllers after 30day period.
- 2nd call - I call back Squaretrade. After 5mins of pushing prompts and answering questions on their ridiculous answering system. I get an agent. Very nice man, who answered all my questions and tried to figure out how to help. After 15mims of talking with supervisor they told me that *** had a warranty, and I explained to them the dont on my product. After argueing with the supervisor for 5mins, he told me to email them everything I had on my convo with ***. Agent said bye and hung up.
Next I emailed the address the supervisor gave me and gave them all the info he requested.
FAST FORWARD 1 1/2 WEEKS.
I got no response from Squaretrade so I decided to call back.
- 3rd call - 1st off after getting through that damn automated phone prompt (which is so annoying it makes you want to hang up) you finally reach an agent. My agent ***, I give it to him he spoke english and was a great agent. He did answer all my questions and wqs persistent...But after being on the phone for 1hour and 6mins explaining AGAIN *** does NOT warranty my product. He finally pushed through my claim. He tried to give me the phone number to *** AGAIN. I told him no, I sent all the info over and you can see it. If I had not called Squaretrade would have never followed up my claim! 0 STARS. WORST!
So after *** pushed through my claim I get 2 choices
1 - Get a prorated "Fastcash" check which was a grand total of $42 (my item was $61.66)
2 - I let Squaretrade pick out a replacement item of "equal value"
I chose the first option...for several reasons.
1- I don't trust or want to deal with this company again
2- They tried to push off their warranty on another company when they were clearly at fault.
3- The icing on the cake, my warranty is no longer valid. THEY STOPPED MY WARRANTY. I would not want them buying my another product that was crappy/cheap and had ZERO warranty.
So now onto the "Fastcash"
Just the fact they say "fastcash" infuriates me. I get a check in 7-10 business days....Not a *** deposit...not a deposit in my checking account...a check in the mail
...It is the 21st century. So in all it'll take 2 weeks to get my PARTIAL Payment back.
This was my honest review of Squaretrade.
I would not recommend this company or warranty to any person I know or strangers!
This company is just like *** (auto warranty company). LOOK IT UP!
If I could give zero stars I would!
Thank you very reading and I hope I could help!
I purchased a Nintendo Switch for my nephew for Christmas at Target. I purchased and extended warranty at the time of the purchase. The employee at Target explained to me that this additional coverage covered accidents like drops and spills. However; upon filing my claim online, it turns out that there were 2 different plans available. This was not at all explained to me. I also, have the brochure for Square trade that specifically states that my item is covered for life's accidents, Plus mechanical and electrical failures.
I called and spoke to square trade only to be given the run around by 2 different employees per customer support. I even asked if I could upgrade to the plan that I thought I had purchased and pay for the plan. They said I could not and only offered to cancel my current warranty. Now why would I want to do that?
Target said the liability was on Square Trade after 30 days'.
We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding this warranty. Squaretrade offers warranties which include differences in the type of coverage available, such as Standard protection or Accidental Damage plans. In this instance the consumer purchased a Standard warranty which covers a product from hardware or electrical failures due to normal use, but not physical damage such as a cracked screen. We do also apologize if the consumer felt this plan was misrepresented upon purchase. Squaretrade does our best to ensure all consumers are aware of their warranty purchase, as we send a copy of their warranty contract to the email on file upon purchase. We also provide numerous pamphlets in store which include details of coverage but we cannot ensure that the proper brochure has been provided to every consumer. If the warranty contract has not been provided Squaretrade can resend this anytime or our 24/7 support center can assist with any questions regarding the policy. Since this plan did not include the sufficient coverage for this issue we would be unable to approve this claim. Due to this we have provided a full refund for the warranty purchasing price.
We apologize for any issues experienced by the consumer. SquareTrade provides our standard protection plan coverage for TV's which does not cover physical damage to the TV itself or any of its protected accessories such as the remote. The standard protection plan does not cover any physical or accidental damage. Due to the remote currently having physical damage resulting from an accident we are not able to process a claim at this time.

I sent my *** in for repair it was received on 02/21/2019 I was sent an email saying that my computer would be ready within 5 days and nothing has been done the parts are on back order and have no *** of when the parts will be available. I have called every day to get updates on my laptop as I use this for school. I am out of 3,000 because I was told that my computer would be ready in 2-5 business days. After 5 days of not hearing anything from the company I called to find out what the issue was. I was told I will get an email from the repair department and I have yet to hear from them with any update. I called today 3/11/19 to get an update and was told that my computer would be repaired by 3/14/19 and sent back to me. About an 1 to and hour and a half I received a call saying the processor was ordered today and had no clue as to when the part will be in. This company has given me the run around since they received my computer. I was offered a refund on what I paid for the warranty thinking that would keep me quiet. I just want my computer or it be replaced. I can’t afford to loose money for school. This company has lied on several occasions. I asked for the number to the corporate office and I was denied I was told write a letter and mail it in. I do not know what to do. This company gives fake information and do not take their customers issues seriously. I would never recommend this company to my worse enemy. Revdex.com can you please help with this situation. I do not want to have to file a legal suit. SQUARETRADE STOP DECIVING YOUR CUSTOMERS

We understand this item is used for school; however, SquareTrade *** in our terms and conditions that we are not liable for any consequential damages such as lost time due to delays with our repairs.

We purchased our All in one Desktop from costco 0n 06/12/2016 and purchased protection plan from Squaretrade on 06/13/2016 for 3 year. On our desktop my grand daughter spilled some liquid by playing near. And the desktop stop working. I contacted to Squaretrade on on 12/28/1018 for claim. They started claim and it was approved and asked me to send it to them and they will repair. They sent me the box which was very small, I could not put my Desktop in it with the cushioning. So I have to purchase the box and sent to them on my own expense it was around $ 19.00 which they told me they will reembushe to me. When I sent the box to them I called Customer service and talked to them for my travell to out of country for a month and half. I told them not to send the desk top to me without my Information. When I came back from my travell I called them to send me my device. They sent it to me on Feb 15. I opened the box and my Desktop screen was craked and the corner was all craked. I called them for this. They said send us back and they will repair. And they sent me the box and lable. Again the box was not that I can fit my desktop. Still I managed to fit it and put the lable came with the box and dropped it to Fedex. Next day the box came back to me because the rep send the labe addressing me. Now they are asking me to send it again and sent me the lable in the email. I have to take the hazel to take that big box and drop to Fedex location for third time.
I just want hey can give me the full amount of my purchase. Because during this back and forth I needed the Desktop for my work so any way I ended up buying new device. So if they can give me my purchase amount.
I want Revdex.com help me in this issue and get my money.
We apologize for any difficulty experienced with this repair. Squaretrade has several policies in place to address consumer concerns with a recent repair, as have been utilized in this instance. When Squaretrade was notified of the damage to this item we immediately approved to have it sent back in and these damages addressed. We understand the consumer needs assistance with packaging and we have also taken steps to address these concerns. Squaretrade has directly provided the consumer a new shipping label via email and one of our specialists has reached out to offer compensation for packaging costs. If the consumer would not like to drop off the package we would recommend contacting the shipping carrier to request a pickup.
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I donot have time to contactcourier service for pick up and wait for them to come and pick up. I want the compentation for my Desktop because when they delivered back the screen was cracked and one of the corner also badly cracked. In this type of damage they still want to repair which is not possible. Also I and my husband need the computer because of our work. So I want to get the full amount which I had paid for purchase and the shipping compensation which is $18.00. The shipping box both time was not appropriate and there was not cushioning for the computer to ba safe. This mistake is nit acceptable. Also how come they send me the wrong lable and now asking for appology.
Sincerely
We again apologize for any difficulty with this claim.Squaretrade does reserve reimbursement as one of our claim resolutions, though this is a resolution provided per our discretion. At this time we are confident the item can be repaired, if our technicians determine this is not the case the claim will be migrated to a different resolution and the customer notified.A Squaretrade specialist reached out to the consumer on 3/13/19 requesting an image of their shipping invoice. Once provided we will provide compensation for any shipping charges via check.
