is apple care+ worth it?

[futurejetblackowner]

Not sure what the policy is with Apple Care, I seem to have read several times of people reporting having to pay up $ for a fix even with Apple Care on it... What I did was get a 4 year every thing covered insurance from the store I bought it at, which was a much better deal cause I payed $0 when things had to be repaired/replaced.

You only pay for accidental damage, but it's significantly less with AppleCare+

I C....ya mine you just had to explain what the accident was, and if it wasn't done on purpose it was completely covered...that's why I went with that one instead of the traditional Apple Care...So I guess my point is, check if your own insurance, or the store, has a better "deal" than that...cause accident's are kinda why you'd want an insurance in the first place, in my humble opinion 😉

(edit, oh ya also the one I got was 4 years as opposed to apple cares 3 years so ya...it was very comforting to have a long fully covering insurance.....) only thing I'd have changed was if I could get one that promised a loaner while the other one was being repaired.....but I don't even know if such exist lol, depends which salesman you ask but when it comes to repair day, they never heard of such a concept, so be prepared for those times as well, those where total downer times waiting for weeks for a mac repair with no substitute :S

You don't have to buy stuff at Costco to use the Costco Visa card. The Extended Warranty applies on items you buy with the card. It's a Citibank backed card, by the way.

I just read the benefit guide for the Costco/Citi card. I stand corrected. I did not know that the 2 year extension went beyond the Costco electronics.
