Discover Offers Warranty Coverage Through SquareTrade

By Alan Wolf -- TWICE, 9/22/2010

Riverwoods, Ill. - Discover is offering its customers extended service coverage for CE and majap products through a new agreement with warranty provider SquareTrade.

Under terms of the deal, Discover cardmembers will generally have up to 90 days to purchase a SquareTrade warranty online after purchasing CE or majaps from any merchant in the U.S., either online or in-store, depending on the level of coverage they select.

SquareTrade said it was founded in San Francisco in 1999 on the premise of offering "fair prices, no-pressure sales, and no-hassle five-day service," with prices that are up to 70-percent less than other warranties.

"Discover's commitment to providing cardmembers with the best service, value and rewards is consistent with SquareTrade's strong track record of great customer service and affordable prices," said Karin Giffney, Discover's products and benefits VP. "We believe our cardmembers will appreciate this provider agreement as one of the instant, relevant benefits that Discover card offers, and will value the tremendous savings that can be achieved by working directly with SquareTrade."
