Now that's interesting, where does that gem come from, and what is this "keyboard issue" that so many are talking about? I was given the 2018 MBP last September for my 80th. and so far no problems.
Be aware if you are going to get the Apple Care you need to do it soon as you only have 60 days after purchase to register it. Not sure if you buy from a third party whether this applies?
Also, for accidental damage, my Home insurance covers me so not an issue if I can get the regular one from somewhere. I'm too late to get cover from Apple but c an I get a third party one to work even though the 60 days is up?
Apple keyboards in the MacBook Pro changed to a butterfly mechanism in 2016 and were found to have a high rate of failure. Due to three class action lawsuits on the new keyboard,
Apple agreed to cover the keyboards for four years. This currently doesn't apply to 2018 models although most people agree that it will eventually apply to 2018 models as well since they are also failing.
The current thread about the 2018 keyboard failures is
here. It's currently over 60 pages long.
As far as AppleCare, many people on the forum have reported that they got the normal AppleCare by directly calling Apple and talking with an AppleCare specialist.

You can oder it online, just find it on Apple's web site...put in your serial number and pay $249 for a 13inch MBP, just did it yesterday. 3 years of additional coverage, and some kind of accident insurance if you $%^& your MacBook Pro.
It sounds like you got AppleCare Plus if it covers accidental damage.
AppleCare (or AppleCare Plus) gives you an
extra two years of coverage which gives you a total of three including the warranty that came with the computer.
People should call Apple directly and speak with an AppleCare specialist to ask for the cheaper AppleCare (not AppleCare Plus unless they want to cover accidental damage).
