New York Times highlights SquareTrade Value

2009-11-09T10:00:00-08:00

Did you read the paper? As fans, you've already discovered that SquareTrade offers a refreshing choice so you can say goodbye to those overpriced store warranties. Word continues to spread!

The New York Times draws attention to SquareTrade's value - extended warranties that give control to consumers with prices that are usually about half as much as those other guys:

For instance, a four-year warranty on the Nikon D3000 camera at Best Buy is $150, or more than 27 percent of the $550 price. The warranty on a Hewlett-Packard N270 netbook is $130, or just short of a third of the computer’s $400 price.

Such profit margins are high enough that companies having nothing to do with selling the original products have jumped into the market, offering warranties for about half as much. SquareTrade, which offers warranties for products bought in stores or online, will sell you a three-year warranty on that Nikon for $75. The netbook can be protected for $60.

Traditionally, warranties have been overpriced with consumers feeling they must make a rushed, uninformed decision at checkout. As the New York Times points out, SquareTrade gives consumers a chance to review their options and make an informed purchase decision.

No Tricks just Treats at SquareTrade

2009-10-29T18:00:00-07:00

Eep - what happened to all the birthday decorations?! Things are getting spooky here at SquareTrade HQ!

OK, so it's not really spooky. Things like $100 deductibles for your cell phone insurance would be a scary thought - but you won't find any of that around here! No tricks either.

Instead, there's talk of gutting pumpkins...

Skeletons have taken over our conference rooms! Monkeys are giving out candy...and the entire building appears to be covered in cob webs!

It must be time for some spooktacular fun!

Even Freddy and Jason have been on their best behavior!

Of course, they've been hanging out with Kord, our Customer Experience Manager. His friendly demeanor is bound to rub off on them.

From the entire team at SquareTrade - Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!

To find out more about the spooktacular fun we're up to (including pics from our costume and pumpkin carving competitions), join us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
