If you purchase the plan on amazon will it cover a laptop purchased elsewhere?

According to Square Trade their warranties only cover items purchased on Amazon within 30 days of the purchase date.

I emailed them (they replied by next morning!) and said that it doesn't matter where you buy the item at, you can get the warrant through Amazon. So I am hanging on to that email in case I ever need proof of what they said. I would suggest everyone do this and keep a copy of their reply with your receipt!

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 recently called Square Trade and they said even though I bought the laptop from BestBuy, I can still get it covered, but I have to show proof of receipt before I can file a claim. Not sure how much this helps as it seems some people had opposite results. I would follow other people's suggestion by calling SquareTrade to make sure.

Susan, as far as I know the plan is offered when the item is purchased through Amazon. You would have to contact Square Trade directly to answer your question.

Yes, you are covered if you are out of the country. Be sure to regiater your item in advance and they will keep a copy of your contract on file in case it is not handy when you really need it.

As far as I know, yes. When I filed the claim and I had to purchase another package with the second laptop that I bought when they sent a reimbursement check. For me, that was fine. A replacement laptop free of charge was worth it.

I don't know exactly what you are talking about. Once you purchase, you are sent a large PDF file detailing the policy. There are very few exclusions, cords and batteries were included. I used my policy extensively for my son's very used, very loved gaming laptop. It more than paid for itself. I highly recommend it. Square Trade is very easy to work with and they are pleasant to deal with. I was NEVER given a hard time with any repairs. I do not work for Amazon or Square Trade, I'm just a housewife : )

Info states only electronics purchased from Amazon can be insured as I wanted to insure a computer speaker system I bought from Best Buy whose protection plans are more expensive.

Yes but the best buy insurance plan is like 500 for 4 years whereas squaretrade through amazon is around 250.

No- the tv does not have to be bought from amazon- Just E-MAIL square trade for a retailer near you that sells the protection plan.

Apple will allow you to apply a protection plan as long as you purchase it and apply it to your laptop within the first year after purchasing the computer.

Amazon has asked me to support answer for your question. I bought a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop last August, and although I live in Honduras, the machine is for be use in the university by my son, and he use it in the United States. Regarding the insurance or guarantee, my suggestion to you is to look and purchase by separate an insurence with international coverage. With that you may rest assured that any problem, Dell representative for your country will cover the warranty.

Looking on squaretrade.com, this doesn't appear to be a plan suitable for a laptop. Their 3 year protection plan for laptops is priced at $299.99. $110 discount on that seems a bit far fetched (if it sounds too good to be true...).

I spoke with two Squaretrade reps today on the phone, and both said no. One said that it used to be the case, but they recently changed the policy. In order to avoid problems with claims down the road, he said that a plan for a computer purchased at Best Buy, for example, should be purchased directly from the Squaretrade website. I do not know why that would have changed since the June 26th email below...Major bummer.

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.

This computer comes with the Lenovo Worldwide Depot warranty, it's valid in India too. It does not include the Accidental Damage plan - it's always optional with Lenovo ThinkPads, I would suggest to check if such coverage is available in India and if it is, purchase it from Lenovo in India directly because this could be a territotrial coverage (ADP plan).

I cannot give you a definitive answer since I bought my Square Trade plan through Amazon .... However ... I believe their operation functions on it's own and you could buy a protection plan directly from them for any item you wish to protect. Should it have any bearing on your decision, my dealings with Square Trade were extremely fruitful and without difficulty.

If I remember correctly as you go through the purchase process you will be given a option of protection plans by amazon
