Cancelling AppleCare Protection Plan Uplift

Call Apple?

 

Straight from Apple :

Cancel AppleCare

 

Call Apple and they can cancel it. You'll get a refund of any unused coverage.

 

No clue about the tax issue since I am unfamiliar with how that works over there. Maybe someone who has experience with that kind of stuff will chime in.

 

Should he get a 100% full refund seeing as AppleCare from a hardware standpoint does not even kick in for a year?

----------

IMO AppleCare is virtually worthless as they don't cover drops and spills.

I've been using laptops for years, and in my experience unless you drop them or spill water on them, they are going to last for at least 3 years. If there is a hardware problem, the odds are in your favor that something hardware will fail in the 1st year.

 

From the link WesCole posted:

AppleCare extends more than just hardware coverage. It also extends telephone support from 90 days to 3 years.

 

Agreed about the phone support, but buying a Mac you get 90 days of free phone support.

 

Yes, that's what I said in the post you quoted.

 

You are NOT eliligible for Tax refund since you are EU citizen traveling within EU open market zone. Tax refunds are only for non-EU citizens in Europe. Anyway if you get a tax refund you are obliged to declare any goods at the Custom when entering your country. There is also no duty free shops onboard EU flights - departing and arriving at EU airport.

 

If you bought it in a brick and mortar store, you don't get the HE warranty. It's online apple store education orders only.
