I was wondering if the AppleCare expired can I get another AppleCare? If not, then I am thinking about SquareTrade AFTER AppleCare expires.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's 1 time.
Got a tip for us?

I think its best to buy a new laptop every year
Trade cost of apple care for depreciation of old laptop and a little extra for the new one

I have a personal policy of purchasing Apple Care each time I buy a new Mac. It's great to have if you need it, especially now that Mac laptops are more like sealed appliances.
I don't mind paying for it even if I don't use it. Finally, it's good to have when I give away the computer to family or friends. Upgrading every eighteen months, I go through a fair amount of new Macs.
iPhone's, iPads and other purchases I make without buying Apple Care.

Likely it's a loss-leader to get you to their site and/or they buy hundreds of units. Consider Office 365 - $99/year for Home Premium, or $99 via an in-app purchase through one of the apps and then Apple gets their $30 cut, or you can buy a SN via Amazon for $67.
I bought a "box" from B&H six weeks ago - the instructions to tie the AC SN to my rMBP were in the box, and in under 10 minutes my rMBP was covered for an additional 2 years. $244 instead of $349, and I'll do it again.
