Low Price Guarantee - Plus, additional 40% savings extended!

Hi SquareTrade fans! As you go into the holiday season, we know that many of you look to us for our guaranteed best prices and service. We occasionally have to adjust our prices at times as we adapt to ensure that we can continue to offer the best possible 5-star service you know us for. While we continue to obsess about ways to provide you with great savings and no-hassles experiences, we've unfortunately had to increase our prices in some areas. In some cases, this may be due to better understanding of product risks (e.g.,our recent laptop study showed over 20% of laptops fail over 3 years.) That having been said, we hold true to our low price guarantee: As always, we continue to be on average 40% less expensive than other warranties sold by retailers. Plus, with the WARRANTYSANTA coupon (which we've extended due to overwhelming demand - see below), you will get warranties at 65-85% less than retailers!
