New Warranty start date: I just don't understand why I'm paying for 60 days of no-coverage???

I think they have figured out that if anything goes wrong, it usually happens within the first 60 days. Also, the first year is covered by the manufacturer, so in actuality, they don't cover the first year either. They all do this stuff. Insurance is a huge scam. Which is way people like Warren Buffet like to invest in them. He knows they will never lose. But, if something happens during the time that they do cover it, you make out. So like most all business, they have us where they want us.

I have no idea, do not even know the length or coverage of the warranty. Mine works like a charm.

Because you need to untick the box that asks if you want the extended warranty. Lol.

The coverage looks the same to me. But i'm not a lawyer. Ask squaretrade. It may be an Amazon discount.

This is what I know. I purchased my MBP end of 2012. The AppleCare program has to be purchased during the first year in order to extend coverage. I did purchase it and had to have the board that the thunderbolt sockets attache to. The Apple store gave me a cost to repair. It would have cost me 500.00 (parts and labor) I paid nothing. I am buying my daughters the 13 inch MBP and purchased two AppleCare protection programs for them. Wish I could have good news maybe someone else can do more for you.

No. I was in the same situation, and I emailed the seller. 90 days is what they have. In my opinion, they are aware of the actual longevity of the product, and have adjusted their warranty as appropriately to make the most of their profits, and make the biggest suckers of the consumers.

My understanding is that you need to purchase the warranty within the first 30 days of the original purchase.

Talked to Smart Guard today. In order to transfer the warranty to you I have to supply them with your information, name, address, telephone. You may send that to me at my personal eMail address...cod...iroc...at...gmail

It starts right away, I think they say it's the day after you receive the item. I am just using Square Trade for the accidental damage, so the factory warranty doesn't matter to me.

The thirty day price protection is conveniently hidden on the Amazon site. I had no idea such a thing existed. If you call after 30 days (like 40), tough luck, according to Amazon.

Good point. I've purchased several reasonably priced warranties from Square Trade & have never had to use one. Hmmmm.....

No I must say I'm a little disappointed with this warranty. For over three weeks did not get anything or email had to email them then they sent me a email which really didn't explain very much that I had to go through them and their website to file a claim. I think there should've been some kind of paperwork or email explaining the warranty if I know what I knew now I would not have purchased the accident protection plan. That's the best answer I can give you

I know firsthand that they only offer the non-accidental protection plan for used smartphones purchased from Ebay which minimally covers the phone against inherent manufacturing issues like electrical/hardware failure. I searched vigorously for an Accident Protection plan for my used Galaxy S3 purchase but ultimately settled for a standard, non-accidental 1-year protection plan.On the bright side, I called them today (some ~6 weeks after original purchase date) with a case of buyer's remorse, still a bit miffed over not being able to get accidental coverage; they immediately gave me a full refund.

The other answer states that you can't read the warranty prior to purchasing is not correct. The first link under Product Details is a PDF of the terms, and it is fairly detailed. Of course, it is written by lawyer-ish types, so it's not fabulously clear.

They don't. Typically you buy the warranty within 30 days of getting a new phone. If that isn't the case, they will ask you to install their app on your phone. I believe their app will run some diagnostics to determine if the phone works correctly and that is has not been subjected to a large impact. I speculate they can get some of this data from the accelerometer but I am not 100% sure. If their diagnostics pass, then they'll insure your phone. I also suspect they count to some extent on the honor system.

No clue. All I know is I bought one from Amazon.com and it is one tough machine! Why are you so worried about the warranty. It is like looking for car insurance that replaces your new car if involved in a crash. Really, do you expect your unit to break down before even running it?
