I apologize if my post came across harsh - I was just posting my opinion, that's all. As you can tell, Best Buy is simply not on my list of favorite places or people and neither are extended warranties. It was not personal.

Well time to use that extended warranty from American Express.
Went out to dry some things I just washed and turned the dryer on and it made a bad sound and I open the door and checked to see it I did not close the door on anything but all was OK. Then I turned it on and it sounded better but then made loud noise again and then no noise. I think the belt got shuck and then broke or something.
But this can take a couple weeks doing it by mail. I can use dads dryer till then or just get it fixed and then wait to get money back.

If I get the warranty for free by using the card, I'd take it. I don't pay for them, because statistically they're a losing proposition.


5 Reasons Not To Buy An Extended Warranty

Extended warranties: A high-priced gamble

Stores see the extended warranty as pure profit. They cost a small amount of a salesperson's time and since most gadgets don't need repair, there's a huge profit margin.

Did you know consumers will spend an estimated whopping $1.6 billion this holiday season on extended warranties for laptop computers, flat-screen TVs and other electronics and appliances - and that much of that money will get them absolutely nothing? That's according to Consumer Reports, which has begun a national campaign to educate shoppers on extended warranties - not including warranties on cars.

I just wish the warranty for free by using the card was as easy as the warranty from the company you got the item.
Like Sears and I call up and they see I used the American Express that gave me another years and I am covered.
But you got to go tru added steps that are not all as easy as you think.
They tell you about the American Express warranty when you join but then how to get it after that is something you may have in the find print if your read it all. The statement you get each month has nothing about it. There web site I could not find it tell I did a search for it and then it made me wonder if I was in the right place so that was why I called and again I did not have the phone number so just called another number like paying my bill by phone like I always do and then pressed button to do it will a real person this time.
Then when I was done I asked about the warranty and was given the number to call 1-800-225-3750 for the extended warranty from American Express.
