    My warranty is going to expire on Sep 6,2009

    So im just not sure if I think know what this means so I just want to double check with you guys...

    Note: warranty extensions are not adding additional years but extending from current. ei. from current 1 year to 2 years.

    2 Year $195.00
    3 Year $250.00 ( rougly the price)


    So lets say I get the two year does that mean there just adding one year? If I select 2 years does that mean that Sep6, 2011 my warranty will expire or 2012
    It sounds like there trying to trick there customer...Please elaborate on this im very confused...Thanks

    Are you sure its 2 years from when you buy the warranty ?

    As far as I know buying the 2 year warranty only adds one extra year to the original 1 year warranty so the new warranty would expire in Sept 2010

    Yes, that's what the Note means. You are turning your 1 year warranty to a 2 year warranty.

    Exactly, its 2 years from the day your original warranty started not an additional 2 years from the date you buy the extension.

    OP : You are just getting one extra year when you buy the 2 year upgrade.
