Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a subscription to geek squad for my camera and was supposed to be informed before it expired so I could renew it. Called to take my camera in for a cleaning but was informed my protection had expired with no notice. Called corporate and wouldn't work with me even though it had been less than a month. I will not give them my business anymore.

Posted .I apologize if you did not receive a notification about that plan expiration. While our system will attempt to send a courtesy reminder to the email address on file, we can't always promise that email won't be lost or filtered. I personally recommend saving the purchase receipt for any plans or memberships, as they typically should list the beginning and expiration dates for any coverage provides. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Geek squad accidental protection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't! Geek squat gives people jobs and that's good, but their quality of warranty is really poor. Also some of their staff seems a bit knowledgeable and will only explain if they feel like it. Truly, save your money and find a local shop, you might save money going that route. I took a laptop to be sent out, had warranty, they shipped it out and came in without screws. Advice: take pictures at store before shipping that way they don't come back to you saying it was already like that.

Not sure if worth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly am not sure why I bought the warranty. It doesnt cover physical damages, it was 70 bucks. And rarely does a digitalor internal problem happen. Still hasnt for my camera. So be careful

Dont Buy if you get item on sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I always buy on my larger items. If they can repair items they do but when they cant they give you a store credit for price paid. If you bought it on sale your out of pocket for difference

Posted .Hello Mayphoto – While we sometimes offer renewals on our Geek Squad Protection Plans, we do not offer them in all cases, for a variety of reasons. I apologize if this wasn’t relayed to you at the time of your purchase. The best way to check in to see if your plans are renewable, in case any renewal emails get lost to a spam filter, is to visit your local Best Buy store and ask an employee there to look your plans up periodically. They should be able to tell you if you have any plans currently up for renewal.

Not how the protection plan is supposed to work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have an issue with one of my lenses and was told that I will have ro buy a new lens feom somewhere else and THEN wait approximately 30 days for Best Buy to reimburse me. I purchased the protection plan specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with stuff like this.

Bought the added insurance, had a computer issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the added insurance the store offered and low and behold had a camera flaw that could not be fixed and then they had the tenacity to say your camera has been taken off our shelves so insurance cannot exchange cameras for you as it was supposed to do...but instead it will give you a refund of what you paid and you can buy a more expensive camera on your dollar,,.,, they should replace with the same or one close to it since I did not decide to stop carrying the product. BOOO for best buy and their insurance policy.

Camera warranty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Warranty does not get your camera replaced. Even if they tell you that it does. Geek squad will “service” it. I don’t think that it’s even Sony that does the work. Very unhappy.

Don't buy it, use another warranty provider
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If geek squad is as bad as best buys commitment to customer service skip this buy with a credit card that carries warranty like the costco credit card.

Bought for camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We just brought in our camera for repair and we were told it may take up to 2 months to get it back. We were not told about the LONG wait time when purchasing the warranty. It makes us very hesitant to buy an large purchases at Best Buy again.
