Anytime I've purchased a geek squad plan I've been treated well! The staff are friendly and helpful and always solution oriented. I always get a replacement and even an upgrade and it's always within a timely manner. :)

This service saved me because the phone I had it attached to broke after only two months of basic use.

These plans are great value. They're cheaper in the long run than paying for repairs out of pocket if anything happens.

A Costly Lesson in Protection Plans

I purchased Best Buy Geek Squad Protection for $69.99 along with a $199 Motorola Edge phone on November 25, 2025.
On December 2, 2025, the phone’s battery failed catastrophically. It began shooting flames from the side, destroying the phone, case, and screen protector. I returned to the store the same day. Despite having the protection plan, I was charged $45 for a replacement device.
Within three weeks, the replacement phone developed another failure and would not charge beyond 10 percent.
At that point, the support process became a loop. The store could not locate my protection plan and sent me to Geek Squad support. Geek Squad confirmed the plan and sent me back to the store. The store then told me they do not replace Android batteries and instructed me to file a repair or replacement claim instead.
I filed the claim as directed.
The insurer, Assurant, informed me they could not provide a replacement because Motorola has discontinued this model.
I was then told my only option was a “buyout.” To receive compensation, I was instructed to pay Assurant $218 in odert for them to reimburse me.
Repeated attempts to reach Assurant by phone ended with the automated system disconnecting the call each time.
Going this route, the protection plan would have cost me more than the phone itself, while failing to provide a functional replacement. To get some of this back, I am cancelling the claim and my Geek Squad Protection plan.
If cancellation is not handled appropriately, I will dispute the charges with my credit card issuer and escalate the issue through consumer protection channels (WA AGO). I will update this review with relevant resources, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who is a victim of this fraud.
