Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am so happy i purchased this. I accidently spilled some water on my laptop and ruined the mother board. This warranty covered 100% of the repair. Needless to say, i will not be drinking water near my laptop again. Do yourself a favor and buy this additional protection .It saved me almost $400

I have Geek Squad and hope I never have to use it!!!

My daughter's laptop was accidentally damaged. Since Geek Squad could not repair it, they refunded the original purchase price. That, in turn, allowed me to purchase another laptop for my daughter.

Great little computer! It's actually faster thsn my HP. Pair it with a wireless keyboard & mouse & was GOOD TO GO! It's lightweight makes it easy to grab & go, I've even used while traveling in a car & was comfortable ising it! Great buy!

The geek squad was very polite and professional and made it easy to follow instructions for what I needed. I was having a hard time downloading the antivirus and they gave me step by step how to do it.

Anything that comes in handy like the 3 year guilt free protection for massive purchases like the laptop was an amazing deal that delivered and even though i did not get to use it the return on it was guaranteed for my money back which makes it even better for accidental purchases.

Given the mixed reviews of an HP laptop, I decided to include this for piece of mind. It is possible that it will expire before I'd need to use it. However, the laptop is not cheap - upper middle of the road in terms of price. The reviews were mixed with good and bad but mostly good. So far, this protection hasn't been used, which is good news! Because of Best Buy's price match program, the laptop price was adjusted and so was the Geek Squad protection price.

Automatically comes with most of the computers that you buy. Haven’t had to use it yet but nice that they give you 2 years of helpful tech support

I feel I can rest easy cause pretty much anything that could go wrong is covered. I like that feeling. I have had to make use of it yet, but From everything i have read their service is great!

no doubt was an excellent product , they offer me the right guarantee

I bought the accidental geek squad protection because I feel that it is very important to buy a protection plan. Anytime that I purchase an electronic I like to feel secure and without any worry. They have the best protection and they are reliable.

Great having the Geek Squad there for any issues. I always think its best to get the protection plan on your items. Its well worth the money.

Definitely recommend to buy the Protection! Worth every penny. My laptop was damaged and all I had to do was pick out a replacement. Of course I had to go through the process of them “trying” to fix it first - and even that would have cost extra without the plan. I always buy the protection plan on high priced items. It’s the main reason I shop Best Buy!

Haven't had to use it yet so not much other to say then it's a good way to protect your devices should something happen. Just anticipate having to replace the entire device as opposed to recovering anything. So try to keep important things on a hard drive external hard drive.

I showed up 45 minutes early and they offered to look at my laptop on the spot. It was an easy fix, but would of taken me way longer to do all the steps correctly. The guy was friendly and had a fine sense of humor, so refreshing! Laughter is awesome stress reliever.

They have never let me down. When my computer's screen shattered they got it all taken care of and sent out the same day. I was then givin a bestbuy card with the same amount I paid for it,to get a new one. They also have never let me down when I needed my phone fixed. Highly recommend and will continue to use them.

Good to know my items are protected incase something happens

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.

With current electronics prices and the unpredictability of their durability, it feels good to have a protection plan, especially from the place that sold me the item. The protection plan with accidental spill and drop coverage is definitely worth the cost for my laptop.

Best purchase by far, I was an HP consumer but have switched to ASUS due to its better processor and CPU
