    Haven’t had the need to use just yet but - the added protection is for assurance especially since I’m non- tech savvy !

    Very disappointed! I bought this protection plan on three different laptops and the first time I need to use it I want to send my laptop away to Kentucky for two weeks and I will lose my job over it because I work from home I need my laptop. It has a manufactures defect but yet they’re still not willing to replace it!

    I felt tricked into buying this service after Geek Squad deleted background report that would generate where the malware populated, as if they knew it might show Best Buy free product as the culprit

    Geek Squad has been useless in their communication with the replacement of my defective PC. As I write this, I am at just about 2 hours on hold to speak with a rep as their online chat was useless. My small business was at a standstill thanks to BB and their Geek Squad.

    If u skip or forget to pay a year then it's voided. Most computers don't have problems untill year 3-5.

    They repaired 2 laptops for me at different times. Both machines constantly frooze, When I took them back, even though this was a result of them fixing the screen counted toward my protection plan.

    I had my laptop screen crack nothing here happened and they nor the manufacturer covers anything. Don't waste your money, it's a waste when I was told it would help if dropped by cashier etc.

      Hello Hannah – An Accidental Geek Squad Protection Plan should cover a scree crack, unless the crack occurred outside of the normal use of the computer. Please head on over to www.geeksquad.com/schedule to set up a time to bring the computer in to your local Geek Squad to go over the details of what happened, and see if your computer is still covered.

    A simple issue associated with editing videos could not be answered via chat or phone call. I was extremely successful via YouTube

      Hello, when it comes to working with outside applications and websites like YouTube we strongly advise our customers to reach out to them directly. While our Geek Squad agents are very knowledgeable, there are questions and procedures that are to be handled by people who work within said organization. They are better suited and trained in certain procedures, policies, and the likes. ^Dave

    Was told when I purchased 1yr extended warranty, that I would be covered for 1yr from Manufacture, then 1yr from BestBuy, but when it stopped working 14 months later, Best Buy said no the warranty from BestBuy was only good for the 1st year at the same time as the manufacture. Never again will I trust BestBuy!!!

    They usually never help me with nothing. Last time they said my macbook digital board was broken and will cost me $1,125 for the fix and guess what? I didn't go thru with the fix and went home and two days later my computer turn on and is still working fine.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. I sent my laptop in for a cracked screen, when it came back the internet card was damaged. It went out again for repair and came back with 2 more issues that it didn't have to begin with. When I brought it home, it was fine. REALLY!!!!!!!

    Tried to get a power cord replaced waited for 4 hours & 2 hours on hold and was hung up on both times. They sent me the wrong power cord and Best Buy would not replace the cord at the store. They insisted I go through Geek Squad to get a replacement. Poor customer service and yet again Best buy does not stand behind their vendors, products, and fix there mistakes. I had to buy the cord on my own.

    Geek Squad needs some help in communicating with customers. Disappointed in anticipated times given by agents. I hope if I do experience an issue, it goes better than the set up!

    I've tried to use the Geek Squad twice over the years and both times they made a mess of both my office and my problem. There are now, finally, options, and I choose to either call one of the other services available or just ask a friend for advice.

    If the Geek Squad can’t fix the problem they have to send it away. Then they’ll sell you another protection plan that still doesn’t cover the problem. Luckily my first plan included a refund, no store credit. However, the item is discontinued at Bestbuy. So I have to pay $2500 out of pocket at another store.
