hi, i have a 2014 macbook pro retina 15" and i have noticed that my screen has blotches. Ive owned this laptop for a few years and never really noticed them until recently i cleaned my screen and the blotches grew bigger. I read that apple are replacing screens for this problem, obviously i'm out of warranty but i read that apple extended the repair program by 4 years. Am i covered? I want to make a genius appointment, but just don't want to waste my time going for them to say i'm not covered.
 
Why don't you call Apple and ask them? They would know better than anyone here.
 
That's Staingate. It's a common issue on the 2012-2015 MBP. Apple will replace your screen for free.

I think those 4 years are 4 years from date of purchase but you should definitely try your luck.
