Got an email in the email from them. They said 20% off their warranties until 9/5 with the code "school"
I have no experience with their warranty b/c I never had to use it before. I did buy their warranty twice. I bought a LCD TV off the internet and warranty was $80 for 3 years. I also bought a DLP TV and the 3 year warranty was $120 for 3 years.
Can't say whether I just got lucky or not but they did cut a 65 dollar check for a used cell phone I purchased on eBay that went bad after six months. It was clearly a mechanical issue was not fixable according to them and was not a accident or water damage.
i am skeptical of these sorts of warranties, but the Amazon reviews of SquareTrade are pretty fantastic. i picked one up for a recent, expensive, eBay mobile phone purchase.

Hmm...44 of the 102 reviews on Amazon were posted during the past 30 days. Isn't it kinda fishy? Maybe a SquareTrade employee is padding the positive reviews?
Anybody actually filed a claim and received check?

Celebrate our Fall launch of ADP with us, with a special 20% discount off any warranty, with or without ADP.
I bought a warranty on my Verizon 6700 that I bought used on eBay. One of those Amazon reviews are from me.
I sent it in after the phone stopped working and they sent me a paypal payment of the full eBay purchase amount (minus the shipping costs for me to send the phone to them for review which was around $5). That's my one and only experience with them but it was very positive. They didn't try to squirm out of paying. There were dings on the phone when I got the refurb off of eBay but that didn't cause any problems. I was very pleasantly surprised. It was nice seeing the $184 credit to my paypal account. Not bad for $19 worth of warranty. Their warranty costs about 10% of the cost of the item.

You don't by any chance work for BB or CC, do you?

Hurry because this offer expires Oct 7th!
coupon code: FALL07E
That is a sweet deal, thanks, just used the code to get a warranty on a used laptop. They also offer a 2nd year of coverage at 50% of year 1 cost (all stackable), so in the end I got 2 years of coverage at 15% of used item cost
If you run into any problems, contact "Kord" see http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/arcmessageview.php?catid=67&threadid=740725
