According to description (see below) it covers years 3, 4, & 5. What if you use Citi card that gives coverage for year 3 & 4, will the SqaureTrade then cover Years 5, 6 & 7?
Features:
Years 1 and 2 covered by Costco Concierge plus Extended Protection for Years 3, 4 and 5 with SquareTrade = 5 Years Total
Each Plan Covers 1 Item Only

I believe that answers your question

Edit: After reading some of the review, it appears to be a hit/miss service.

I'm a big fan of Sony and really wanted to like this TV. CEVA, freight carrier Costco uses delivered the TV as scheduled with no issue (great carrier). The 85" X850G showed major flaw where it had annoying clouding (lights bleeding where it's supposed to be black) on all four corners of the TV. This is not apparent when watching bright content and or in bright room (i.e. Costco warehouse) but once you watch tv in dark room with dark content (i.e. any Star Wars series at night), you'll see these bright lights in corners as if there's reflection there, including the top and bottom black bands. This is also exponentially worse if you watch HDR content (Mandalorian Disney+). The black level is also crushed (no detail) and you can see pixalation as the dark content shifts. I could not resolve this no matter how much calibration/picture were adjusted per several recommended settings, including Sony's. The calibration couldn't solve it because of the hardware limitations (no local dimming, variation in manufacturing process of the LCD/LED panel). Some buyers are happy with the X850G as their panel had less variation during manufacturing (won the "panel lottery") and/or watches primary brighter content and/or in bright room. I did consider exchanging with another 85" X850G to see if I would win the panel lottery but there has been too many reports of clouding/blooming with this Sony tv and I didn't want the hassle of exchanging 85" tv many times. At the end, I had to return it and purchased other 85 inch TV from Costco at significantly higher price. Unfair comparison due to cost difference but picture quality and no clouding/blooming of the "other tv" was well worth it. Even my wife noticed the difference and she's no where picky as I am and she mentioned I should have bought "other 85 inch" in the first place, even with this large price difference.

Aiming to upgrade to 75 here when this Visio goes out. So far 4 years and going strong.

The light blooming you show is worse that my 11yr old TV.
