    Never ever sign up for Geek squad. Took a "protected" computer to be serviced due to a power surge which was clearly covered. Waited a day to have a service apt, which didn't fix the problem. the next day returned for another fix on the same computer and were charged close to 100$ for repairs. the fee was charged due to being too beat down after 5 hours waiting to fight at the time. The next day a call was made to request a refund and the tech over the phone transfered me over and over and started making discusting noises on the line while on hold. I'm now asking for a full refund on the geek squad....horrible service!!!!!!

    Not sure why the sales associate felt I really needed this add-on when I already had the Total Tech Service Agreement in place but I was in a hurry and paid extra for this. Sometimes your Best Buy is to take your time and consider just purchasing on-line so you have some time to think before pulling the "gotcha" trigger.

    I hate that you really can't trust the products that you buy. So, you feel like you're forced to buy it

    I had issues with my computer from the day of purchase and continue to have the same issues today. I received no help from the Geek Squad. All they would do is offer to send my laptop to the manufacturer (HP) for repair.

    I keep getting the runaround and transferred from one person to the next. I am told that the 3 year accidental geek squad protection plan does not cover accidental damage. What a crock. $300. Accidental plan that does not cover accidental damage???????

    It definitely gives you a sense of security although it's really not necessary if you can reasonably take care of your hardware.

    It covers 1 replacement from Accidental Handling. That's the only reason I got it because the manufacturer doesn't do this.
