    Hi Board,
    I was hoping to upgrade my warranty & was given the prices of 89, 109 & 139 for 1, 2 & 3 years cover.

    any suggestions how i could get a reduction in this price? I'm looking at the 3 years warranty and will probably just buy it @139, but wondered if anyone else had success with a reduced amount?

    best

    $139 for 3 years is very cheap, but I guess it depends on the laptop. To get mine upgraded from 1 to 3 years it starts at like $350.

    should have said £ - i'm in the UK!

    eventually got 3 years cover@home + weekends for £119, so happy with that.

    That's good.

    How did you get that? Did you have to call them?

    That's still a very good price. Especially if it was not bought at purchase.

    In the UK when your warranty is about to run out they send you an email quoting some prices.

    I wish they e-mailed us. We just get a letter saying it's about to expire.

    Wonder if they will do a big discount for multiple machines for my employer.
