The extended warranty Wal-Mart sells is under-written by American Bankers. These are the same guys who underwrite the extended warranty for The Bay, Zellers, Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source… any others???
Kudos to Wal-Mart because they are the least expensive and considering they offer the exact same warranty for less than Best Buy or Future Shop, I’ll buy my brand name product at Wally Land first!
I agree, they are not the same, coverages are very different when you compare. They are not under-written by the same bankers, if The Source were to go under, so would your warranty
I double checked.
American Bankers aka Assurant Solutions underwrites the warranty for Future Shop, the Bay, Walmart, Zellers. For the Source, this company only insures the LCDs
Assurant has a call center in Kingston Ontario where all of the calls are processed. The offer and the protection they offer is the same for all of their customers; they use the same dealer network. The offer is for protection on product failure NOT equipment abuse. Read the terms and conditions in the warranty document.
The companies URL is:
http://www.assurant.com.br/canada/kingston.html
The difference is the desk person who takes the claim.
Something to say?

Its actually not the same… Try asking Wal-Mart to replace your machine with a new one when you come in for a 4th major repair on it. They will ask you, why should we do that for you when we can just fix it again.
