Worth Ave insurance quote AMAZING

I just called Worth Ave. If My wife takes 1 single online course. They will give her a college bundle discount with a $25 dollar deductible for up to 4K of insurance!!!!
For...drum rolllllllll.......
$110 a year. She just has to be enrolled first. Unreal. Best deal EVER.
Oh...and after the course is done...we can keep the bundle package as long as we don't let it lapse year to year after that.
4K of insurance (laptop, phone, camera, lens) accidental damage, or theft...for $110 a year.
Done deal. Better than home owners insurance even.
You are welcome.

Oh...normally it costs about 100 per 1K of insurance per year AND $50 deductible.
So..for $800 it is around $80 a year and a $50 dollar deductible (without the college bundle).

sooo..you're saying this is better than asurion?

-$10.80
$61.20
Processing Fee: $5.00

You can't go beneath 2K (so..laptop and cell phone coverage basically)

http://www.worthavegroup.com/college-plus (click on losses covered on right side)
I'm actually buying today for a 4K policy for $90 bucks. Today bad I didn't do this before my wife dropped the phone. But...anyway.

One thing to keep in mind is they do not cover theft unless a police report is provided and proof of burglary. They also do not replace lost phones.
Asurion is better in that since, but you definitely pay for it lol.

Well..police report is no problem...but they don't replace lost phones?
Hmmmm.....
I will have to remember that. Once lost, I will be sure to file a police report for "missing and presumed stolen from the last location it was at" Even if that is my couch.

lol I suppose you can do that, but they specifically state they will not replace lost/stolen phones if "forced entry" is not apparent. (ie leaving it on your couch, or in an unlocked car). If your cars window is smashed, they will happily replace it if you file a police report haha. not sure your window will be worth it though.

How much insurance do I need for my Note 2? I see on Sprint without an upgrade it costs $650. I'm guessing that amount?
EDIT: I can't buy anything more than $599 on a "cell phone". How do I get more?
EDIT 2: I called them. The most they offer on non-iphones is $599. So if you break your phone tomorrow, you'll have to pay the $50 deductible and then another $50 to buy the phone from Sprint. I'm guessing the price will go down eventually.

No. Don't do a phone only package. Do the College Plus package for a minimum of 2K. It costs like $65 a year and insure up to 2 thousand with a $25 dollar deductible.
Use code 15OFF on the site as well.

You can take a single online course and be allowed to have the insurance.
You purchase the insurance and choose the closest college to you. Then you call them up and tell them what online course you are doing. they told me they didn't care if it was for Photoshop...Lightroom..an Adobe product....or a pottery class. I'm not kidding.

If this is legit, it is a great deal. Even though most homeowner policies do cover your mobile devices, you really never want to turn in a claim on that. I will be looking into this more, thanks for sharing!

Hey senior member. Do you see how long I have been in XDA? Do you see how many threads I have posted? My wife shattered her phone. Want to see a pic of it? Not everyone is a scam artist working for a company dude.
|it's a good deal. You don't like it? Then ignore the thread. You got a better offer? Let me know cuz I haven't purchased it from them as of yet.
But don't troll in here assuming someone is trying to scam you just because they are discussing insurance for a PHONE unless you have something productive to offer..
Paranoid often?
Edit: I have renters insurance. Doesn't cover dropping your phone. And it has a $500 deductible. I know my stuff. I'm a research-a-holic.
By the way...this is post 666...don't mess with me. lol

So was the student quote you got to cover both you and your wife? I'm in the same boat as you, I want these things covered with a cheaper option than sprint is offering once I get my replacement.

Staples vs Walmart protection plan

Hi everyone
I was wondering if any one had an opinion on protection plans.
I purchased my nexus from staples with a $55 accidental protection plan. I just saw that Walmart has a 2 year accidental plan for only $28
I am still in my 14 day return proof with staples and was wondering if purchasing the device and plan from Walmart would be a better deal for me
Does any one have any experience, good or bad using either of these plans?
Thanks

When do they start accidental coverage as office max doesn't start accident coverage until the manufacturers warranty has expired. So a crack in year one leaves you uncovered.

Not at the Best Buy I work for. But then again statwise were also one of the "best" Geek Squads in the entire company, and when stuff comes in under our extended and accidental damage warranties they get full service without question.
I just shipped off a Marines 2010 Macbook to our service center last night that took a three story fall in Afghanistan and literally "exploded" when it hit the pavement. Guess what hes getting in about a week? A brand new 2012 Macbook shipped directly to his door with no questions asked. Try getting Apple to do that for you.
Theres a reason we have the extra accidental damage plans and theyre not anything close to a scam. You need to pay close attention and read the terms of the plan. If you just buy a regular extended warranty, its just that. Its an extension of the same stuff the manufacturer covers, which doesnt include cracked screens, water damage, batteries/power supplies, etc. We replace stuff left and right every single day with ours. I cant even imagine how many shattered pieces of iCrap and other cellphones we replace in a year for people.

Not bad at all..

I do not know about staples. But Walmart took great care of my on a tv.. The tv had a popping issue about 13 months into owning the tv. It was Panasonic very nice tv.. After a cable box update the tv started popping when connected to hdmi cable. It would make the noise switching from a hdmi port to the tv apps like netflix.. Sometimes the tv would reboot.. Walmart replaced the board in the tv. It did not fix it . They refunded me all of my money.. Two days later the repair shop called tell me they found a fix. they told me where to download the firmware for the tv.. I did so.. Called Walmart back and was told to keep the tv and the money..
So thats my walmart warranty story.. I did go to walmart and buy a new tv and put that 50inch in my sons bedroom for his video games..
I have square trade warranty on my nexus...

I ALWAYS use SquareTrade to warranty any device I have...so easy to deal with & offer very fast turnarounds. Price would have been $29 for 2 yrs coverage & accidents.

Wich you can just use towards the next thing out at that time. Cant beat that. Also have it on my Vaio i bought there.

Eeyup, hit the nail on the head here. I also used to think that things like this were just a franchise's way of getting more money out of you. Then I saw the Black Tie *Now known as Geek Squad Protection (GSP)* in action, and was surprised at how effective it really is. As long as you don't drown your device or shoot it, they'll pretty much repair or replace the device. Sure, they're a little costly, varying from item to item, but well worth the buy if you have any doubts about how well the device will be taken care of.

Repair Experience

The purpouse for this thread is purely informational to see what other peoples experiences have been in the repair process involving LG
I am not really looking for stories of how LG (or Google) simply replaced your phone, but rather out of warranty cases, what you had to do, how much it might have cost out of pocket and for what repaired.
This is so others like my self know what to possibly expect.
My story:
I picked up this phone on Craigslist for $30 already knowing it was bricked, in hopes that I might be able to reserect it. upon finding out (after money was exchanged) that it was done not just while trying to root but that he believes that the wrong file was used when his "friend" was trying to do it i realized that it was probably the wrong boot loader so many have loaded by mistake. After figuring out my only solution based on my research was probably a JTAG service I decided to give LG a call, and told them what was up. asked if I could send it it and get a quote to re-flash it. unfortunately when i got it the rear glass was already cracked and i was upfront about this. upon inspection they said they wanted to replace the entire housing including the LCD as well as the main board. I was unable to get further details as to what was wrong with the board, but they only wanted to replace the LCD due to a scratch on the front. I tried to just have them replaced the board but it was an all or nothing deal. Soooo... not having $181 laying around for basically a new phone with my old battery I had them ship it back.
Additional Information: upon having my unit shipped back to me I discovered it to be shipped back with no padding other then the shipping invoice in the very thin box and a non-padded plastic envelope. I contacted LG as I was concerned about additional damage to my phone that I might not be able to determine till such time as I might be able to send it back when i can afford the repairs they informed me this was standard shipping whether my phone was repaired or not, I told them the box had been crushed on one side and I was told they would make a note and send it to their service center so a change in packaging could be made if it was deemed appropriate.
Parts LG would like to have replaced for the aforementioned $181 (USD):
Battery cover (with glass)
Mainboard
LCD (including digitizer and front glass assembly)

LCD replaced, $140 total.

Only 40$ more and they include a new mainboard? Sounds cheap.
I won't hesitate paying 180 and get a totally new phone. You can always sell it after and earn some dollars, considering you just payed 30 for it. It's your only solution, buying a mainboard and a screen would be much more expensive.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

So you paid $30 for the phone and for $181 ($211 total) you will essentially have a brand new n4? Outside of the shoddy return packaging I see no issue with this.
To be honest though, if you can't afford a $180 repair bill you have other priorities that need addressing just sell the phone for a profit (you'll get alot more than $30 on ebay.)

Maybe, but for a phone with broken glass and mainboard, you can only use battery and some other components which not usually break. Will be impress if you get more than 50-60 dollars and then discounting what PayPal and eBay charges...
I'm really impress they only charge you 180 for a full fix. If I were you I will just wait until I get the money, then fix it and sell it.
As of my experience, I had my screen replaced by LG due to a white pixel, (didn't have RMA choice). They did not charge for it and sent it back in 4 working days.

I do recognize the value here. trust me . I plan on getting it repaired as soon as I have funds as I would love to be able to use it. Just have to sell my spare phone (Atrix HD) first. At the end of the day, the only real complaint I have is that the LG service center has an all or nothing policy. The rear glass is broken (i have a nice TPU case that hides it) the LCD and digitizer is fine, just has a scratch on the screen (I can deal ith that), I just want the Mainboard replaced but they will either do all of it or none of it. I understand why, they want to guarantee their product. just a bummer for those that might not have quite that much cash on hand for such things.

I actually think they are not charging for the main board, that will explain the price. If it hasn't got any signs of physical damage they usually repair it free of charge. I had my Gnex main board replaced after a sudden death having no warranty, bills or anything.

Trust me I tried every thing I could. I ended up selling another phone I has lying around and shipped my N4 off for repair. Should be back by next week. according to the invoice they are replacing basically everything but the battery. Looking forward to having it back
Attached is the form from LG, with the personal info changed of course.

LG recieved mine on the 22nd and charged me 140 to fix it . . still haven't received it back or anything haven't even heard from them since they called me telling me the LCD is damaged I'm just hoping i get it back by saturday.. I didn't get a detailed email from them or anything either but i noticed it took them 9 days to send you one so i guess patience is the key.

So I just got mine back and there's a yellow blob on the screen and its really annoying what do I do ? Call Google for an RMA or call LG again

If you received it back from LG for service I would call LG again.

Back and good as new.
I have received back my N4 from service. had to call 3 times to figure out what was going on since there is no reliable way to check online. was told on Wednesday to call back on Friday to get and update and hopefully tracking information. then received an email stating it had been shipped on Thursday. It was shipped back 2 day service (FedEx) and got it on Saturday. I have all ready rooted it and got it up and going. It looks new from top to bottom. over all I am pretty happy with the service turn around time. But (recognizing I am a bit impatient) I felt like I had to be more involved with keeping up with what was going on then I would have cared to. Status updates are important to me when it comes to such expensive items.

Samsung Protection Plus now available for S7/S7E

Just a heads up, in case you didn't know what to spend your $100 Samsung credit on from the S7 carrier promotion, OR just wanted to get additional coverage for our phones, we are now able to check out on Samsung.com and order the Samsung Protection Plus warranty. I've been trying for several days and even called in to purchase this but the rep said they needed to update their system to validate and accept our IMEI. May be worth it to some since we can't open up our phones to replace the battery in a year or two when it goes bad but I got it mainly because our phone is so slick.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/P-GT-AKXXT0HC
2 year warranty @ $129. $79.99 deductible on accidental damage.
In comparison:
AppleCare+ is $99 and deductible is $99 (for iPhone 6S)
Nexus Protect is $89.99 and deductible is $79 (for Nexus 6P)
T-Mobile Premium Handset Protection is $10 monthly and deductible is $175 (for Samsung S7/S7E)

i wish i got this before my screen cracked =-/

I found this statement :
Samsung Protection Plus covers mechanical breakdown after the manufacturer's warranty expires and accidental damage.
Exclusions apply. Please refer to your coverage documents for complete details.
So, the program is active only after 2 years (3 for me)?
That would be ridiculous

I personally never get warranties, since I change phones every six months. Plus I have never broken nor scratch a phone's screen.
I bought a Skimoni screen for my edge, still haven't put it on.

Best Insurance I found
Wells Fargo has the best insurance I have seen and I am using with the 4 phones on our family plan. Cost for the insurance is $0 but you have to have a Wells Fargo credit card and you have to pay your cell phone bill with that credit card. $25 deductible. Did not have any credit cards before but got one just for this after a rash of broken screens last year.
https://www.wellsfargo.com/credit-cards/features/cell-phone-protection/
I do NOT work for Wells Fargo.

Anyone know of how to get insurance in canada?

I just ordered the Samsung insurance 10 minutes ago... the guy told me I was covered today and have fun with it. I believe the confusion is that you have to order the protection plan with in the year warranty. then your 2 years start right there. They will replace your phone 2 times a year.. so I'm going swimming with it and enjoy it.
I'm going to cancel my tempered glass that would have not fit right or worked right and just get the plan. sucks that I have to do this but I'm already out of allot of money.

No. It's saying that if the phone stops working for something covered by the factory warranty, that factory warranty will cover it. (This is standard with every insurance plan I've seen.) After the warranty is done (1 year here in he U.S., I think), then Samsung Protect will cover it. Accidental damage (broken screen, water damage, running over it with your lawn mower) is covered from the day you purchase Samsung protect.

It looks like you need to sign up on the same day that you buy the phone.

Correct. I bought the warranty the day I got my phone, and have been relaxed and calm since then. Typically never buy warranties, but with the included free battery replacement this was too reasonable to pass up. Especially since when I had my S4 i broke the screen twice!

And you need to buy the phone from Costco, too.

I just cracked the rear glass on my s7 edge. Samsung repair will charge $270 and take around 10-15 days to repair (not replace) the phone (including shipping) during which I have no phone.
I looked at the protection plus plan and can see no reason why I couldn't just buy the plan and immediately file a claim. They send a replacement within 24 hours and I have 10 days to return my broken phone so no downtime. Cost? $129 for the plan plus $79 deductable - cheaper than paying just for the repair, faster, and I get coverage for 2 years. I chatted with support and they said they saw no reason I couldn't do this. I'll check with the Protection Plus folks but I can't see how they can deny coverage. The FAQ mentions nothing about pre-existing conditions or a wait period before I can submit a claim.
FYI: I would have considered not fixing the screen since I (now) have a case to protect it and it is therefore not visible. However I'm sure a cracked screen means it is no longer water proof and that was a major reason why I upgraded from the s6 to s7.

Fwiw Square Trade doesn't insure any unlocked phones. Samsung Protection Plus doesn't recognize any G930F or G930FD phones either.

cracked my screen!!!

I have no insurance of any kind . Has anyone replaced a screen yet? What are my options?
Contacted discover card to see if their purchase protection program will cover it.

credit cards purchase protection doesn't protect against human error; you broke it, you pay for the repair.

Lol, straight shooter. Sucks but it's true.

yeah, taking responsibility for your actions sucks, but its called being a grown up:victory:

I was just curious if anyone replaced these screens yet? Is there an option yet?
The crack is on the bottom corner so not really bothersome. And for the record Mommy was tending to two whiney kids trying to get Halloween costumes on for a park activity when the phone tried to jump to its death from my back jean pocket. I guess it couldnt take the whining either.

Sorry for you

That's really bad. Try Google, he knows everything !

I know someone on another forum sent theirs into Samsung. It was round $300 and took a couple of weeks, but the phone came back perfect. I'm not sure if there are many local places yet dealing with these screens.

I suggest direct with Samsung as you know it will be genuine parts, decent Labour and it will be sealed properly for waterproofing

If you have renter or home owners insurance they will cover the broke phone. At least mine does with USAA

Call your insurance company and see if your electronics is covered by your plan.

If you don't already have insurance, you're on your own for this repair. You could get insurance for the future, but I'd recommend against it. In the long run, on average, insurance premiums cost more than the repairs they cover (otherwise, insurance companies would go broke instead of making a profit). Insurance makes sense only for events so unlikely that they probably won't happen to you, but so financially catastrophic that you wouldn't recover for years, if ever (for example, insurance against your house burning down).

Why isn't it(homeowners ins) an option?
I have always found ins a waste of $. This has only happened once almost 6 yrs ago and I was able to get a replacement since there were dead pixels before the drop and I started the return process prior on one of our first Samsungs)
