U.K. Retailer John Lewis Offering Free Three-Year Guarantee on all Macs and iPads Until June 28

"which includes the three-year guarantee at no extra cost, with an option for three more additional years Added Care with accidental damage cover for £80."

The word "additional" is throwing me off here. Looking at JL's site its free standard 3 year cover, and you can pay £80 to have that 3 years include accidental damage. I don't think it's adding any additional years past the 3?

Correct. You get three years warranty included free. But as with most manufacturer warranties this doesn't include accidental damage. However John Lewis will also cover you for accidental damage over those three years if you give them an extra £80. It's not an additional three years.

You're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Article amended.

As OllyW mentioned, it's normally only two year's guarantee. If you consider they're also offering three added years' cover, that works out as a six-year guarantee on selected iMacs for a measly £30. Not bad.

i would check that. when they mention Added Care they say 'damage coverage' so it might be running concurrent with the other over, not after it
 
Yeah, for £80 it replaces the free 3 year cover with a 3 years cover + accidental. With the Apple store discount I can get it with Apple care it comes to £2789 (when the hell did Apple Care go up to £329?!), at JW with accidental is comes to pretty much exactly the same. So I think JW wins it this time, and I just got notification they're in stock.

Get yourself an NUS card and save 10% on the Mac and 50% on Apple Care :)

The discount I have is about 11%, and I'm not a student, nor know any students anymore :(

Quite a few online learning centres qualify for NUS these days. I landed mine after picking up a intro to digital marketing webinar package ridiculously cheap on Groupon! haha
 
Does anybody know if these extended JL warranties (specifically for an iPad) are transferable to another person if you sell on your item. I can’t see anything on their website that says one way or the other.

Don’t think so - the original purchaser I believe
 
I don't see any three year guarantees for the iPads and iMacs that I've looked at tonight.
 
I was just replying to a couple of recent posts. They did have iPads with three year warranties recently so I thought that it was the same offer.

They have offered them again since this article was published. Case in point my iPad (the one I’m thinking of selling, hence the question) I purchased in October 2017 came with a three year warranty.
 
John Lewis forget them!!
I’d never buy any electronics from those liars!!
Buy Apple products direct in uk from Apple then enjoy 6 year consumer law protection (England and Wales) - 5 years Scotland . BTW I’m Ex Apple and me and my clients have used it!!
John Lewis isn’t worth it at all!
