Consumer peace of mind - Part 2

First, if you have not read my “Consumer peace of mind - Part 1” blog from the other day please click HERE.

Well now. I asked in part 1 “what if there was an alternative?” to overpriced extended warranties for your household consumer electronics. They only last for a limited time period. It’s a gamble for sure forking over all that money in one lump sum for let’s say a 2 year (really 1 year after the manufacturer warranty expires) plan. And it only covers one item. You must pay for a whole new plan for another device. That’s not a lot of “consumer peace of mind” is it? When I shared part 1 on Facebook, a friend commented “I am hoping it’s a $100 10 yr plan to cover every electronic purchase I make.” Close, but “more better”!



So here are four questions for you:
  1. How would you feel about having ALL of your household consumer electronics that you will be purchasing in the future; covered by just one simple plan?
  2. How would you feel about having your ALL of your household consumer electronics that you’ve purchased within the last four years also covered by the same plan?
  3. How would you feel about having ALL of your household consumer electronics covered with an unlimited time limit?
  4. How would you feel about only paying one low monthly fee for this extended warranty on ALL of your household consumer electronics?
Who wouldn’t want a deal like that?

I had a friend of mine call me a couple of weeks ago and started telling about a plan that does everything those four questions ask; and much more.

Let me introduce you to the Matrix Electronics Protection Plan by My Warranty Rewards.

Now as you’ve probably guessed I’m a My Warranty Rewards Independent Agent. I’m a huge believer in sharing things that are great for people and make sense. This to me makes a whole lot of sense. For me, as well as many others around the country, this is total “consumer peace of mind” for our home electronics. Why would someone not want revolutionary protection, superior coverage and hassle - free customer service?

So here I am sharing with you something great that someone shared with me like a great movie or restaurant.



Click HERE for a comparison chart of devices you could purchase at your local big box electronics store. The Matrix Protection Plan is a huge savings. Especially when you average the cost per month of each device that you register on the plan. For 40 devices it’s only .75 cents per month for each device.


So if you would like more info on Matrix Electronics Protection Plan please feel free to contact me. And make sure to ask how you can save an additional $5.00 per month off of the monthly fee.
 

Consumer peace of mind is inexpensive and is also very easy. And you won’t even break a sweat!

Until next time

Consumer peace of mind - Part 1


You’re waiting in line at one of those big box electronic stores. You’ve picked out your 55” so-n-so wide screen / flat screen TV. It’s costing you a pretty penny ($799.95 to be exact; plus tax of course).  You hear the sales associate say next, you step up and she scans the TV and then she asks you “would you like to purchase the 2 year extended warranty for your new TV?”

What to do? What to do??? The sweat starts to roll down your forehead as you feel the eyes of everyone else waiting for service just piercing through you. The pressure is on.

“How much” you ask? $99.95 for the two year plan.


Wait…what???


Two year plan? But the TV is already covered for one year under the manufacturer warranty? So you want me to gamble a hundred dollars on the TV failing during its second year? But think about it. It could happen. Haven’t you heard all those stories of stuff failing just after the manufacturer warranty runs out? “Come on already” all the other customers are saying under their breath. Hurry,  the pressure is still on!!! What if? WHAT IF???



So, just for your peace of mind you answer yes and pay that extra $99.95. And wouldn’t you know it?  Three and a half years later is when the TV actually fails.



So what were you really insuring? Only your peace of mind. Now, do this all over again for your other purchases like…

  • Blu-Ray player ($19.99 for the 2 year ext. warr.)
  • Play Station 4 ($89.99 for the 2 year ext. warr.)
  • Touch-Screen Laptop ($239.99 for the 2 year ext. warr.)
  • Smart phone ($$239.76 for the 2 year ext. warr. – actually $9.99 per month x's 24)
  • Single-Serve Coffee Brewer ($19.99 for the 2 year ext. warr.)



The total price for all these plans just escalates. And your peace of mind only last for 2 whole years.



But what if there was an alternative? Yes your peace of mind is important and worth every penny… but what if you could just save some money and have, as a friend of mine likes to say, “more better” peace of mind?



Well there is… and I’ll have the answer for you.
