$90 for an extended total of 4 years Appleare is not what I was referring to in my post but the stock care package offered by Apple's retail. The latter is TWO extended years for $250.
Your narcissistic additude and personal bashing approach only adds to your already questionable character. No one cares about your American express deal. Show me a non promotional retail applecare package for $90 and then talk. Idiot.
Firstly, the word is attitude.
Personal bashing? Of course I was offended by your initial post. If you have to preface your thought with "I don't mean to offend anybody" then you either probably shouldn't complete your thought or else be ready to receive some rather acidic responses.
Your offering to this thread suggested that those who choose to purchase AppleCare are merely following their "sheep mentality" and thus incapable of making sound, informed decisions. That was a ridiculous generalization and definitely deserving of retort.
That was what I was addressing.
Also, my situation was in no way special. This was not a promotional AppleCare package but a regular consumer product. I was illustrating a scenario that is available to anyone. I'm sure there are other opportunities as well to structure these things to the consumer's advantage. My example was merely meant to provide some sort of motivation for people to seek out information prior to their purchase of AppleCare.
That said, you deserve no more attention.
Enough of this derail. As always, to those who are unsure, do your research before any major purchase and remember that you have a full year to purchase AppleCare if you need it. No need to make a quick decision at the point of sale on the day of your computer purchase.
