Just recently got an email about a "Yahoo Plus Mobile Protect" plan that Yahoo is launching. It appears to be backed by Asurion, $5 per month, and $49 service fee. With a maximum coverage of $2000 per claim.
I used to rely on my Wells Fargo free phone protection, but from my understanding, the super cheap deductible has changed, and the maximum coverage (last time I checked) was super low, not even an iPhone's full cost now.
I just wanted to put this out there, as at least from my eyes, this looks like it could be the best protection plan/warranty out there! It appears that you don't need to have their "yahoo mobile" plan, and can have any carrier, though the phones eligible are limited to what is on a list that can be found on their website.
What do you all think about this? Best plan out there? I'm thinking I may sign up.

"If we determine that we cannot service your phone as specified in this Plan, we may replace it with a replacement product, or we may at our discretion, issue you a gift card or check based on the replacement value, age and condition of the product, as determined by us, immediately prior to the breakdown."
Which sounds like instead of original paid cost, or replacement cost, they can screw you over and give you what "they" consider to be the current value based on the phone, age, and condition, which could suck. Just something to point out.
Limitations and exclusions apply. See terms and conditions [asurion.com] for full plan details.

Example :
2017-06-01 - Xbox One 4 years - $26
2017-06-01 - Samsung 75 inch TV - Walmart 4 years - $122
2017-09-15 - A's Note 8 $11.99 monthly until canceled. Deductible - $99
2017-08-24 - B's Note 8/9 $11.99 until canceled. Deductible- $99
Keep doing this and in a little while you will have hundreds of dollars saved.
When something breaks take out the money out of that account to help with replacement cost. Don't forget to account for deductible you'd pay many times especially for phones even with warranty plans like this.
Once your are past the date the extended warranty would have expired - the money is all yours!
In my case from examples above on 6/1/2021 I'm getting $148 income from this account if my TV and/or Xbox don't die by then.
In few years once oldest items start expiring you can treat yourself and family to something nice.
I starred this July 2017 and have $1700 in this account.
So if I break my $700 to replace phone tomorrow I can take money from there and replace it or upgrade to newer model by adding a bit more money. v.s. Having to come out $1000 for replacement note 20.
As for covering an Android phone I guess it would depend on how much the phone is worth. Consider that you are out $55 the first month with the deductible and then it goes from there.
Anyway, for my coverage of non apple product I'll still with worthavegroup. Other than that I would always buy applecare for any apple products.

the "above poster" mentions that you add up all the warranties you have and pool it together for a damage fund in which case, you WILL save in the long run for people who try to be careful with their stuff. This will not be for the person who breaks their devices every 6 months.
