Upgrade, warranty and insurance ?

[Go Faster]

I'm thinking of upgrading to the M9 but what are everyones thoughts on warranty?
I honestly don't see any reason to pay for insurance since HTC has the UH OH program in place. Correct?

Do they cover lost or stolen?

They cover the device one time within the first year. That does not include lost or stolen.

I'm just relying on the uh oh insurance... FYI, There's a small sticker in the box that you have to keep for the program....

And if you never use it they will give you a $100.00 discount on your next HTC M10? Purchase

What sticker ? You mean the sticker on the box which has the model, serial number, and IMEI/ESN number information ?

Mine wasn't on the box.... It was inside of it.... The sticker says to keep track of it... I can take a pic of it when I get home

I am in the US and bought a Square Trade warranty when I got my M7 new. Deductible is $100 and it covers everything including loss and theft. Just something to look into. At only $8 per month it is worth it to me. Coverage is for 2 years.

Yes. If you don't use the Uh Oh, HTC will give you a $100.00 credit on your next device purchase.

I cancelled my insurance on this phone. It's very unlikely that I'd lose it or have it stolen. If anything happens, it'll be damage so I decided to rely on uh oh protection and save my 7 dollars per month.

All extended warranties and insurance on electronics is a scam. If people would take the same amount of money that they would spend on warranties and insurance on each electronics they buy and put it in a saving account they would have way more money than they need to replace whatever may happen and never have to pay a deductible. In fact most people would have enough money in 5 years that they could actually be able to take some of it and take a vacation and still have enough left to cover whatever may happen to their gadgets.

I wouldn't say all extended warranties are. I think one time fee warranty deals are pretty smart, especially on more expensive devices. I have a $2,500 laptop that the motherboard went out on and something else (can't remember quite what) went out twice after the initial warranty ran out. Got all issues resolved free of charge. I don't buy monthly insurance for electronics, and I rarely buy extended warranties on phones either. But if I'm spending $1200 or more I always spring for extended warranties. With the exception being if the OEM itself doesn't offer the warranty. I don't buy them from the store I purchase at. I don't trust retailer warranties as much as manufacturer warranties.

Maybe I have better luck than you . I always ask what the the warranty will cost and just go ahead and put that amount in a saving account. Very seldom do I have to pull money from it. You would be shocked how fast and how much money will build up. It works for me but can see how this method my not work for someone else.

By the way I use this method for any purchase over $50 and on any electronic or appliance I buy.
