I just realized that both my AmEx card and Mastercard will double the original manufacturers warranty for up to a year if I charge the entire total on one of the cards.
Has anyone here done this and then needed to get the computer fixed by using the credit card company's extended warranty? What was the process like? How easy was it to deal with them? How long did they take to fix it? Was it worth it or am I better off getting AppleCare? There's no difference between the original 1 year warranty and AppleCare, right? It's just that you get free phone tech support for the entire time, right? Never bought AppleCare before, except for my iPod.
The fine print says that they'll either fix it, replace it, or reimburse me what I originally paid for it. Thinking about going this route instead of with AppleCare since money's a little tight right now.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.
