Question: Dose the protection plan have to bought the at the same time the laptop is purchased?
Document: My software went out on my Laptop after me having it for five (5) weeks and this won't cover it. They say it's going to cost me $200.00 after I bought the protection plan. The technology said it is nothing that I've done, but my plan won't cover the software.
This is our second plan we purchased from SquareTrade. I bought one for my son's computer when he went to college. When he accidentally  dumped a huge glass of water on it after having it for a year or two, we sent it into SquareTrade. Since the machine was no longer being manufactured, they gave us a $500 check. Talk about paying for itself. I will never go without this warranty for my boys.
I am not much for buying these programs as I don't believe that folks that take reasonable care of their modern electronics have anything to be fear when it comes to product reliability. But I purchased this plan because nothing is absolutely perfect and with the complexity of the new laptop I baught the plan for I wanted to be sure it would be covered.
Great product for Accident Protection Plan. Downloaded it from computer.
This protection plan is very honorable because my tablet on button broke two and the protection replace my tablet.
I will always buy a Square Trade protection plan for all my electronics. It is good to have the peace of mind it will be fully protected if something goes wrong.
I chose this rating because I believe a 2-year accident protection plan is a good thing to have, especially when you have a teenager who is clumsy, like mine.
A friend of mine went to a well known retailer, bought a laptop, and the extended warranty at the retailer. The motherboard was bad and it was fixed 6 months later. This will never happen with a SqareTrade warranty.
Hands down, the absolute best experience I've ever had with any warranty service! We bought this coverage for my son's laptop, and when his hard drive failed, I was dreading having to call and file a claim. Usually, these kinds of things are a nightmare. (Hours on hold, being transferred to different departments, having to explain your problem to half a dozen different people...You know the drill.)
I am very impressed with the Square Trade warranty I bought...my Dell laptop had become increasingly unresponsive, to a frustrating and unfunctional level, called SQ and they immediately pre-approved my claim, sent me a shipping box and label, the &#34;depot&#34; received it AND fixed my computer in the SAME DAY! I had it back the day after I dropped it off at UPS to go to them....AMAZING TURN AROUND!
Answer: I think you have 30 days between the time you make your purchases What you need to know is that if you purchased the square trade plan from amazon you would have needed to purchase your item on amazon as well
