    Who know what will happen?

    I spilt hot green tea on my keyboard. So I called. Sent the unit back to Best Buy/ Geek Squad. Then I get an email at 11PM on a Friday night telling me: "The costs to repair your product have now reached your plan's maximum benefit amount. This means the terms of your plan have been fulfilled and your Geek Squad® Protection Plan coverage has ended." So, am I getting a replacement or a store credit? I don't know. It doesn't say. The warranty says it could be either/ or. So I guess I will spend my Saturday morning, or my Monday morning, calling and chatting my way up the information food chain so I can find out what is or is not going to happen. This type of notification without all the information is a total fail for Best Buy and Geek Squad. There is really no excuse for this. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that, (at least I hope), that I will get a replacement or store credit. But I have no idea which. Am I looking for a computer to be delivered? Do I have a store credit floating out there somewhere? And just when exactly will I find out this necessary information? This info should have been in the email I received at 11PM on a Friday. Stay tuned. Let's see how they handle this. Will I ever know? Will they even care. Jesus, take the wheel.

    A little pricey for something you hope you never use. We’ll see how it works out in the future fingers crossed.

    When my son's laptop started to make a noise, I took it to the Geek Squad and explained that I had purchased the protection. I was informed that the protection could not be applied, until a diagnostic was done, which a separate charge of $100.

    Geek squad is always a great service for anything you buy with Best Buy. If you get it on a device for $200 or less you basically can just exchange the faulty/damaged item and get a new one or credit. A little too high of a price in my opinion though for computers or other higher priced devices. $260 for 3 years is a little steep.

    Geeks squad was kind and patient. I went in to get my lap top fixed. They gave me a gift card instead because it couldn’t be fixed.

    Super helpful for a terrible prior Geek Squad experience in which my computer came back to me broken. The rep that helped me ended up convincing me to get protection on my new laptop and was super helpful throughout it all.

    I bought the GS service b/c I purchased a laptop. I appreciate making appointments online; though at times, there still is a wait in a queue at the store. Nonetheless, when it is my turn the techs are focused on me and my item. I find the GS knowledgable; they have helped me when most panicked.

    the laptop usually runs hot around 80 degrees when not gaming.. but when in gaming.. it's still hovering around 80. the memory ram is not upgradable (soldered) i wish there was more usb-a slots.(only 2) no ethernet adapter performance: pretty good for a laptop. the sound is great! OLED HDR screen! i'm happy with my purchase.

    Geek squad is beyond amazing. I know that it's hard to see the value in protection plans. We live in a world of insurance scams. I must say though, Geek squad really takes care of you. If there are any problems they are quick to either exchange your item or ship it out at no cost to get fixed. It's truly peace of mind, knowing that when you buy a product someone has your back.
