Your Guide to Benefit describes the benefit in effect. Benefit information in this guide replaces any prior benefit information You may have received. Please read and retain for Your records. Your eligibility is determined by Your card program.

 

Product warranties can be inconvenient and cumbersome to use. Let’s say You purchased a great gadget about a year ago, but it just stopped working, and You can’t find Your sales receipt and warranty information. For all too common situations like these, Extended Warranty Protection can help.

Extended Warranty Protection provides You with valuable features that help You manage, use and extend the warranties for eligible items purchased on Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.  Services include Warranty Registration and Extended Protection.   You are eligible for this benefit if You are a cardholder of an eligible card issued in the United States and You

purchase either a portion or the entire cost of the item using Your Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

 

Here’s how Warranty Registration works

When You purchase an eligible item that carries a manufacturer’s warranty, You can register Your purchase by calling 1-800-397-9010 or call collect outside the U.S. at 1-303-967-1093. You can also register Your purchase online at www.cardbenefitservices.com.

The Benefit Administrator will tell You where to send Your item’s sales receipt and warranty information, so they can be kept on file should You need them.

If You choose not to register Your item, be sure to keep Your monthly billing statement reflecting the purchase, the itemized sales receipt, the original manufacturer’s written U.S. warranty and any additional warranty in a safe place. These documents will be required to verify Your claim.

 

Here’s how Extended Protection works

Your warranty coverage can be doubled up to one (1) additional year on eligible warranties of three (3) years or less. For example, a manufacturer’s warranty of three (3) months would be provided with an additional three (3) months of coverage for a combined total of six (6) months of coverage, and a warranty for six (6) months would be provided with an additional six (6) months of coverage for a combined total of twelve (12) months of coverage. However, if the manufacturer’s warranty is for three (3) years, it would only be extended one (1) additional year for a combined total of four (4) years of coverage.

This benefit is limited to no more than the original price of the purchased item (as shown on Your

credit card receipt), less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim, and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder.

The benefit covers purchases made both inside and outside the U.S.  The eligible item must have a valid original manufacturer’s U.S. repair warranty of three (3) years or less, store-purchased dealer warranty, or an assembler warranty.

 

What Extended Protection does not cover

  • Boats, automobiles, aircraft, and any other motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, or accessories, including trailers and other items that can be towed by or attached to any motorized vehicle
  • Any costs other than those specifically covered under the terms of the original manufacturer’s written U.S. repair warranty, as supplied by the original manufacturer, or other eligible warranty
  • Items purchased for resale, professional, or commercial use

Filing an Extended Protection claim

To file a claim, call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-397-9010 or call collect outside the U.S. at 1-303-967-1093, immediately after the failure of Your covered item. Please note if You do not notify the Benefit Administrator within sixty (60) days of product failure, Your claim may be denied.

The Benefit Administrator will request preliminary claim information, direct You to the appropriate repair facility, and send You the claim form.  Gift recipients of eligible items are also covered, but they must provide all the documents needed to substantiate their claim.

If You received or purchased a service contract or an extended warranty when You purchased Your item, this benefit will be supplemental to, and in excess of, that coverage.

How will I be reimbursed?

If You have substantiated Your claim and met the terms and conditions of the benefit, Your item will be replaced or repaired at the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, but for no more than the original purchase price of the covered item, as recorded on Your credit card receipt, less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim, and a maximum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will only be reimbursed up to the amount charged to Your Account or the program limit, whichever is less.

If Your item is to be repaired, You may go to an authorized repair facility and file a claim for reimbursement. Only valid and reasonable repairs made at the manufacturer’s authorized repair facility are covered.
