Um, did you notice that I said "reputable" in my post? And that it was a working code (in a real AppleCare package)?
But, hey, if you like to pay more for the same service feel free.
And there are also MANY people that sell fake AppleCare, and also fake iTunes cards.
For me, if it's worth getting AppleCare for, it's worth getting real AppleCare...
I wouldn't buy heart medicine at a flea market, and that's basically what ebay is. And for people that don't know what a flea market is, I feel for you. Imagine a dark alley, in, say New York, and getting a 'great deal' on real 'Prado' bags that 'sell at Macy's for hundreds of dollars'...
Yeah, this is pretty huge, actually. Granted even in smaller centres there is usually a mom and pop shop with an Apple Certified Tech who can handle AppleCare repairs tucked away somewhere, but I bet most people would never know to find them.Normally I'd agree with you, but this is a nice option to have when traveling in an area that doesn't have an Apple Store. I'd always prefer to bring to to an Apple Store, but sometimes it just isn't an option.

Clearly, you have never dealt with, nor researched, Best Buy's service department.
Well it's convenient location wise there's bb way closer to me than Apple stores.
Honestly though I'd use bh photo for AppleCare and I'm probably gonna start using square trade since they cover accidental damage too
i've had nothing but the worst service from best buy, no way i'm bringing my shiny new apple product in to them to be fixed...
Never buy AppleCare at point-of-sale or from retail!!! There are many reputable sellers on eBay that will give you a significant discount. For example, I just got AppleCare for my MacBook Pro Retina 15" for $244 from a seller on eBay where it would cost $350 retail from Apple (and yes, the registration code provided worked).
Also, you have up to the year from the computer's purchase date to buy AppleCare. Don't be in a rush and shop for the best price.
It looks like it was drawn on!DEAR GOD!!! What's wrong with that womans nose?!?!?!?!?
Because $100 is a lot of money to most. While I've never bought Applecare from a 3rd party. I would definitely consider purchasing if it saved $100. Don't be an elitist.48 messages in 4 years and that's your advice when you pop back in : buying insurance from the back of a truck (or the equivalent)! Considering that trust in that piece of paper being worth something is crucial, why the earth would anyone even take that risk to save $100 bucks!
Hey guys here's a little info if you're interested: Apple actually sent experts to a brand new Geek Squad center that was built to support BestBuy's Apple Care. Prior to this, Geek Squad repairs weren't up to Apple's standards, but Apple has made sure that Best Buy will be doing everything as good as they would. The products aren't repaired in the store, they're still sent out to the new Geek Squad area. I'd personally feel safe sending them my Apple products, but maybe that's just me....
