Most credit cards extend warranty too right? So is it mainly for the convenience of being able to just walk into an Apple store and get it replaced?

I think most do. I usually pay for my iOS devices up front so AC+ or insurance is a must for me. Also with it extending the warranty, that's a huge plus as I hand mine down to my wife every year.

They wouldn't let me do this last year under Apple's orders. I had to change the address on the account and reorder.
