I just checked and was told that for the holidays they have extended the period to purchase your warranty until January 31st. So you should still be able to purchase. Contact them (I did it by chat), give them the serial number of the device and they will confirm and even provide a link.

Yes. They have something like a grace period. As I remember it was 30 days from the day of the purchase. Actually, all the times that I got square trade were about 2 weeks after receiving the item.

That truly depends. Products, referring to electronics usually come automatically with a one year manufacturer warranty. The SquareTrade Warranty will kick in as soon as your manufacturer's warranty expires. You'll need to know how long of a warranty your item came with and the SquareTrade Warranty you purchased. They should have sent you documentation. If misplaced, you can probably look it up on the SquareTrade website or by calling them.

Yes, you can use Square Trade,contact them through there website for specifics on the product you are purchasing a warranty for.

YES! Just got off the phone with SquareTrade customer service. As long as the item is NEW, you can purchase a warranty on Amazon and apply it to the item bought elsewhere (ex: Best Buy)

You will have to register the device to the warranty. You will go to the squaretrade website, create a login, find your warranty plan and register your device to it.

Unfortunately, the Square Trade warranty begins when you purchase it, AND, you're required to first "go through" the manufacturer warranty for that first year. If the manufacturer warranty does not resolve the issue then you can submit it to Square Trade. For the 2nd year coverage its all through Square Trade. It kind of stinks because you're really only buying an extra year of coverage, not two as they advertise it. (This is somewhat common with aftermarket warranties.) But.... With the Square Trade warranty you should also be sure to purchase the "accidental drop and water" coverage..... Because neither of those things are covered by the manufacturer warranty. Even so, I still recommend purchasing the Square Trade warranty because to many things can go wrong with these high tech devices. Hope this isn't to complicated, just read it slowly. I personally read all the fine print before I bought my 2 year Square Trade warranty with accidental drop coverage. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, No. Based on information I received from SquareTrade, "The SquareTrade warranty runs in concurrance with your manufacturer's warranty because in some cases we offer you accidental damage coverage from day one where as no manufacturer will offer you this coverage."So, technically, because the 2-year warranty runs in concurrence with your manufacturer's warranty, you are getting a 1-year warranty from SquareTrade [if the manufacturer offers a 1-year warranty].

Yes - You can buy an extended warranty for any allowed product as long as you do so within a certain amount of time (see their website: www.squaretrade.com) for details. It's really a good deal. I use it for almost everything I get that I think could fail as long as it's over $100 or so (in other words, I get it for electronics that cost $100 or more, but I wouldn't get it for clothes!) Check out their site. I've had good luck with them, and if you register, they keep track of all your warranties.

The answer is an easy NO - This is now listed in the details "SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days." But beaware of a company that offers a warranty on Amazon for $111 and the same exact plan from them if you didn't buy it here is $279! WTF? That's a difference of over $168 for the same coverage for the same product just because it wasn't purchased here, I can see a small discount but they might as well sell out to Amazon at this point - Who in their right mind would pay $279 for a $550 tablet?Go with Smart Guard - Same exact plans, not Amazon only and much cheaper - 3 Year Tablet Accident Protection Plan ($500-600) The answer is an easy NO - This is now listed in the details "SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days."

Good point. I've purchased several reasonably priced warranties from Square Trade & have never had to use one. Hmmmm.....

You have to buy @ the beginning of the purchase. Also - you must keep your purchase receipt for the item for the entire length of the SQ warranty period even though you've registered your warrant! If you need to file a claim, they'll ask for a copy of that receipt. The paranoid side of me thinks they're betting most won't have that receipt and therefore SQ won't have to honor that claim.

Things to know: SquareTrade Protection Plans are only valid for new products purchased at Amazon within the last 30 days. However, if you go to their webpage, they have plans for products bought outside of amazon, with various plans and pricing. Here is the link: http://www.squaretrade.com/?h=v5

No, you can purchase your new camera anywhere and then buy the Square Trade warranty through their website with 30 (?) days. Edited to add: Square Trade is awesome, I literally dropped my camera (which was only 2 weeks old) into a toliet and they replaced it! I chose the amazon gift card option b/c they give you an additional 5% of the value. Bought my new camera through amazon.

I don't work for SquareTrade, but being a long-time customer of theirs, I can answer that for them. No, not just Amazon.com. They offer warranties on just about anything, no matter where you purchased it. I recently bought a warranty on a mouse I bought from Best Buy, and two headsets I bought from Amazon. In the past year, I bought a SquareTrade warranty on a television I bought at Sears, and a BluRay player I bought through Dell.com. Looking at their website (because I buy their warranties direct, not on Amazon), they even sell warranties on appliances, and sell warranties for items sold on eBay. Their website is SquareTrade.com.

SquareTrade cell phone warranties are quite good, but the Amazon product description makes it very clear that "SquareTrade Protection Plans sold on Amazon only cover products purchased from Amazon within the last 30 days." Consequently, this plan is only for phones bought from Amazon. However, you can go to their site, http://www.squaretrade.com/smartphone-warranty, and buy a plan for cell phones bought elsewhere. When comparing various plans keep in mind that SquareTrade warranties have a $99 deductible.
