Extending Warranties

Posted in: General

I’m going to be purchasing some home theater stuff for the basement and I’m looking at the extended warranty services that American Express and Visa offer. It seems that either will give me an extra year on the warranties - though I seem to recall a friend of mine talking about getting a longer extension from his AmEx.

Anyone have experiences to share?

I actually work for Capital One.

I’ve handled a couple of customers wanting to use the Extended Warranty.

Basically, you have 1 extra year warranty on your purchase, if you buy it with your credit card. The manufacturer’s warranty has to have expired for you to be able to use the one on your credit card.

It’s a good deal, but i’ve not heard about a longer extended warranty.

I have had very good luck with AMEX warrenty extension. Gold gets you one extra year, and Platinum doubles the warranty up to 10 years total.

I’ve USED it a couple of times, and it’s always been very easy to do.
