Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can keep this short and sweet. If you buy any tech items, and you are plagued with bad luck and want a piece of mind, buy this. The one time you ever have to use it you'll be happy. Not buying it is like the old saying goes "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies".

Best Buy determined my laptop met the criteria for replacement, since it completely failed after about 4.5 months of use. However, these warranties are STORE CREDIT or REPLACEMENT ONLY. The terms — which aren’t well presented and are buried in 500+ Q&A entries or an obscure online PDF — show that they do not do cash reimbursement. This is disingenuous. When you’re buying the warranty, the product page proudly lists all the benefits, but never mentions that they don’t do cash or check reimbursement. Why hide that fact unless you don't want people to see it? And it gets worse. The warranty (depot) people tell you to talk to the store for anything even remotely related to replacement or reimbursement. When you talk to the store, they tell you that if you want any change in your warranty reimbursement or resolution, you need to talk to the depot. It’s absurd, anti-consumer, and dubious. At best. And here’s another one: if you call your local store number— you get the main call center. You have to press the right buttons in the automated menu to talk to the right person in the right department, who will then transfer you to the store. Yes, you are, in fact, meant to get the runaround. They just want you in THE STORE. I will tell everyone: do not buy anything that requires a warranty from Best Buy. Valuable products need warranties, and once you buy one from them, you’re trapped in their ecosystem and forced to keep doing business with them in the future. If you want a warranty for the replacement?? You’ll be right back on this page again.

Haven't had to use the protection for my son's new laptop, but if I had to, I know BestBuy and the Geek Squad would make it right. I've had the protection on several other items, and it has come in handy before. With my active son, it might come in handy so I added it to the new laptop!

I haven't had the opportunity to use the Geed Squad, but I am glad to know that I have the option of using them should anything happen to my equipment while I am out on the road. I do a lot of travelling for work and anything can happen between transport to and from a hotel room or using the laptop within the truck

Insurance it’s only a sucker move until you need it. Am a huge advocate for insurance on all electronic products that l purchase. Would highly recommend this to everyone. An extra $50-100 on your product will give you a peace of mind when something catastrophic occurs like when you drop your computer while going through TSA.

Great service fast and efficient very friendly associate and very knowledgeable

Bought the 4yr. Accidental geek squad warranty. Gives me great peace-of-mind!!!!

Compact and very fucntional. Easy to use. Overall, a great product!

The geek squad always has done a great job for me. Hopefully they are well compensated for their exceptional service.

I use the Geek Squad for everything. They mounted my TV (without any wires or cables exposed (all in the wall) and connected it to all my devices. I also use them every 3 to 4 months to clean my computer and make sure that it runs to its full capacity. I don't know what I would do without the Geek Squad. I highly recommend this Protection!

This has saved me on other computers. Protect plans are good to have.

We purchased this for my daughter's computer last summer. As Murphy would have it, she spilled water in her keyboard and the computer kept shutting down without warning. After checking it out, Geek Squad replaced the laptop. That sold me on the gamble that something could go wrong and the machine could be seriously damaged.

I recommend this for anyone purchasing any electronic item or product that you may need technical support for. It always helps to have someone else's help when it comes to these things.

This is the third time I have purchased a protection plan, but wish it was the 4th time. The 4th one I really could have used. The 2nd purchase was for my TV. They came out looked at it determined it could not be fixed and sent me an in store credit for the total price of the TV THAT DAY. Awesome.

They’re Great! The Greek Squad installed my virus protection on my laptop. It was very difficult and they took control of my computer and got the job done!

I almost never buy the extended warranty on anything. I had a hunch on this laptop. 1.5 years later, this came in very handy when my poorly designed 2 in 1 laptop hinge locked up and destroyed the screen. The repair turnaround was about 1 week. Thanks Geek Squad!

Purchased with a new gaming laptop. Haven't had to use it on this item yet thankfully, but glad to have peace of mind. Definitely worth it on high-value tech purchases, particularly items that don't devalue quickly. Have made geek squad warranty claims on tech items in the past and had good experiences.

Replaced 3 laptops that got damaged from my business with them as the laptops were initially purchased through Best Buy with the Geek Squad warrenty. Sent the laptops out for repair, and then received them a week later. Easy to use and friendly staff that kept me up to date of the repair progress.

I have not had to use it and I hope I never have too but last year I bought a Chromebook and didn't get the protection plan and then it brought as I am ended up with a very expensive paper weight

Absolutely love the Geek Squad service. We've always used this service with some of the items we've purchased (tv/sound bar install, Arlo camera install and trouble-shooting, laptop trouble-shooting. Well worth the cost. Would always ensure we have Geek Squad protection for some of the more expensive electronics.
