can't buy accidental protection plan after purchase?

can't buy accidental protection plan after purchase?

thanks.

I thought within a month of purchase, we can still buy it.

any, I have 3yr warranty now. how much extra will it be for adding 3yr accidental protection plan?

 

usually about $299, i think its totally worth it though.

 

You can within 21 days of purchase, I know because I just did it on the 21st day and still was hassled.

 

would you please tell me how much was it? 3yr protection plan? I already have the 3yr warranty.

Thanks.

 

300???

That's a lot...

 

300 will seem like chump change when you spill something or crack the screen. Screen replacement runs ~$800 when done by Lenovo(which is needed to keep the warranty).

 

I have the accidental damage plan and I also purchased insurance from a company named Safeware in case of theft since I am fairly mobile. So far the people there seem very professional and the policy is quite fair. They cover accidental damage and theft with no deductible.

$2800 worth of insurace costs me $86 for the year here in NYC . They let me insure my laptop and any related accessories I can produce a receipt for including my laptop bag, extra hard drives, camera, etc...

It was curious to see that the same amount of insurance would cost me MUCH more if I were living in Pittsburgh, PA. One would think that living in NYC would increase risk <shrug>.

Anyway... you might wan't to consider this type of insurance as an option.

 

Thanks for the information.

I just wanted to know how much is the accidental protection plan...

 

the T61 cost 800... I don't see why I would pay 300 for accidental protection.

 

No need to get it then

 

I think the total cost for a 3 year warranty + protection plan is $300. So you should be able to subtract whatever you paid for the 3 year warranty from $300 to figure out the balance you'll have to pay (then add tax).

In case there was a package discount for getting both at the same time, I would think you could get Lenovo/IBM to honor that, if within 21 days of purchase.

 

This is very helpful.

I called today and the guy told me I can't buy it any more, although I am still within 21 days.... Will call back later!

 

i didn't know that only one warranty upgrade can be done on one machine.

if you upgrade the warranty when purchasing the machine, it's still considered as one upgrade.

the CSR said he can return the credit for my original 3yr warranty and place another order for the 3yr protection plan. The total is 279. Since I already paid 119, I decided to pay additional 160 for the accidental protection.

They have a sale now, 30% off warranty upgrade.... But the CSR told me I am only qualified if I buy it with a new laptop. I will wait till I got the order number for the warranty and call back to see if I can get a price match.

 

update on my own post.

I called lenovo and they agreed to give me the 30% discount on the warranty upgrade. So I end up paying 80$ more for the protection plan. I am quite happy about this.

 

3 year accidental cost me $106 exactly

through my school!

 

damn you! thats a good deal tho! im getting a desktop so i need not worry about accidental damage.

 

that's a good deal.
