Is this plan only for computers purchased from Amazon, or can the plan be purchased for computers from other brick-and-mortar stores (ex Best Buy)?

I have seen Staples ads for furniture featuring the Square Trade Warranty service but whether they cover computers from other sources than Amazon, I don't know. I would suggest emailing Square Trade and asking them.

I am aware that the plan is not specific for purchases on Amazon, however if I were you I would NOT trust Square Trade. Crooks!!

You can get a SquareTrade warranty regardless where you purchased your computer from. Also, they do most electronics, not just computers. I have filed claims on a plasma tv (50") and a GPS, and Sq. Tr. paid both w/o question. I have had probably 8-10 warranties w/ them, from cameras to TVs.

I can't answer for sure but it seems to me that it doesn't have to be via Amazon specifically. You can purchase the service and register. To register you need to provide certain stuff like the receipt/proof of purchase for the specific device you're buying it for.

I bought this 4 yr plan as it was offered to my desktop. I did not buy it for laptop, so I don't know if it covers that device. call the phone no. of maker to find out.

I called Amazon and they would not match the price. The Best Buy deal was considered a "Black Friday deal" which Amazon does not match.

David, my purchase of this plan was to cover a refurbished product. Unfortunately, I have not studied the full details of this plan as of today. I would think the plan holder would be able to assist you better than me.

"Square trade bought on amazon are for amazon items only." That is completely false. I called Square Trade today and the representative verified Amazon is simply a reseller of these warranties. They apply to ANY retailer you purchase your item from as long as it is within 30 days of purchase! Just make sure to purchase the proper warranty for your item. Type in "Square Trade Hard Drive or Square Trade Laptop, etc." and it will give you the warranty you should purchase! :)

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.

I want to preorder too, but want to check it out myself before I do so. Bestbuy, Costco, MS Store will also sell these so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of places to buy it from. Maybe MS Store might offer a student discount, or a cleaner Windows with same price. Costco might have it with some other bundle, maybe a carrying case, or some small accessory, just like how they sell WD Passport external hdd with carrying case bundle. I'm going to be patient because I am very picky person on buying tech stuff, and I hate buying and returning stuff even if it is free.

you can install it on how ever many computers you want...but the goodies are account bound. (P.S) I would highly recommend using the online downloader, the disks are SERIOUSLY outdated at this point.

I would definitely contact the warranty company and ask. As I understand it as long as you bought your computer on Amazon. I am not sure there is a time frame from purchase to getting coverage but it is worth a shot. I have received great customer service from both Amazon and Square Trade. Hope this helps.

I don't know if Amazon will do it, but most small computer stores (mom&pop shops) will do it for relatively cheap. If you want to go to a big box store, check out Best Buy's geek squad although they are a bit more expensive than a small shop usually.

Your question isn't as clear as it could have been but if you purchased your Kindle at Best Buy without protection, and you wish to buy protection for it now, you have a certain amount of time to do this without penalty. You can go online and buy MACK protection by going to http://www.mackcam.com/warranties/computers-laptops-tablets/ Hope that answered your question.

Yes. I just got the same model from BestBuy yesterday and its working properly. You just need to register it where once you connect the device to your pc, it automatically directs you. I would suggest you to buy it via BestBuy, instead since BestBuy has the same price. You do not need to wait until it arrives.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".

Depends. I bought my Dell PC from Best Buy and the warranty began on the date of my purchase. I've bought new laptops for business from Amazon resellers and the warranty took effect when they (not me) originally received them from Dell. For a fee, you can always extend the warranty directly through Dell.

I do not know. The plan was purchased by me in connection with a non-existant "new" Dell GX620 computer from LOWCOSTSHIPPING (Jenisha Patel). Then, a refurbished computer was ordered by Nick Patle from Refurbished PC to be sent to me. After my complaint to Amazon, LOWCOSTSHIPPING requested that the computer be sent to Defective Returns, 2543 East First Street, Crossville, TN 38555. I did not attempt a followup on the 4-year Desktop Plan.

Since you're buying a used laptop off amazon what exactly it comes with will be in the description of the buyer if they are any good. Not every listing is exactly the same, some had mods and additional software. I got one last year and it had only the os so now I use open office because it does the same thing and is free. My guess is you will have to buy office for the computer unless the seller specifically says it comes with it

It had to be downloaded to whatever pc you are using. You can buy it now then access the person's computer and download from Amazon from there. I have downloaded it to 2 different pc's no problem.
