You're excited to buy a new cell phone — now, make sure to protect it.
Geek Squad® Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and covers you for accidental damage.
Q: What type of damage does this protection cover?
A: This protection covers accidental damage.
Q: What happens if my phone is damaged within the protection plan period?
A: Geek Squad® Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and covers you for accidental damage.
Q: If my phone drops and cracks, is there a co-pay or deductible to have fixed?
A: YES!! They charged me $75 copay for a phone that cost almost $400 and I only had a month...
A: Because they don't care, once they have your money and subscription, they drop all niceties and expect you to smile about it.
Q: How do I upgrade to lost or stolen?
A: Well depending on what products you buy, you may not be able to. I was told I could in store when I purchased my new Note 20 Ultra and then when I called Geek Squad, they said I was told wrong information and that I don't have that option. Not very happy about it. Unlike Samsung and most cell phone carriers, Geek Squad is the only one I know of that promises that option but then tells you after your purchase that it's not available. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news. Hopefully they can change that in the future.
Q: How long does it take to repair a cracked screen on a samsung galaxy s20 plus
A: They won't fix it right now as there aren't samsung repairs in store. However, they won't tell you this until you're at your appointment. Even if you have geeksquad you'll have to pay $200 for a refurb replacement, and they won't give you a full refund on geeksquad despite not letting you use it. Your best bet is your manufacturer warranty. Happened to me and they kept almost $70 of my geeksquad warranty money for absolutely nothing. They just want your money : /
A: No I asked the question when purchasing the year warranty on 03/01/2021
A: Hi Ann. Thanks for your great question. Depending on your Best Buy rewards status, you may have anywhere from 14-45 days to add that protection plan. To see if it's possible, we'd recommend getting in contact with your local Best Buy to see if it's an option. You can find information about your local store at www.bestbuy.com/storelocator.
