Has anybody used Walmarts Our Care Plan coverage for anything?

Feb 8, 2013 1:21 AM

Has anybody used Walmarts Our Care Plan coverage for anything? (or more specifically, for an iPad?)

It is 2 years of coverage for $44 and says "Our Care Plan protects your purchase from failures such as drops, spills, and cracked screens. No deductibles. No hidden fees." Wondering how easy it is to get repaired/replaced if one of my kids cracks the screen, drops it in the toilet...

That seems like a GREAT price for a warranty covering user damage.

Otherwise I'll probably get it from Target while they have their $30 gift card with iPad purchase.

I've never purchased warranties from them, but that sounds like a pretty good deal. Did you check squaretrade.com for their warranty price?

I didn't have the opportunity to use the one we got for the Wii before it ran out. But the price is pretty dang good. Check the fine print for "depreciation" clauses - ie: if they have to pay out for you to replace the item, will they cover what you paid for it, or will they pay out a depreciated valuation of your gadget?

Re extended warranties:

Pay attention to what you have to do to exercise the warranty... take the item to a store and leave for repair/replace? Ship if off somewhere and wait for repair/replace?

At Microcenter (if you live near one), and you have an extended warranty, you can take your malfunctioning item to a store. They swap it out for the equivalent product (or something better if no equivalent is in stock) and you leave. No waiting for a tech. This works well for items where no data recovery is at issue.

PS don't work for Microcenter. Have a friend that was employed there recently.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
