DALLAS – Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers can keep their purchases safe with Exchange Protection Plans, saving money on costly repairs or replacements down the road.
The plans, powered by Asurion, can be purchased with electronics, jewelry, appliances, sunglasses, lawn and garden items and more. The plans cover the most common factors that can damage or destroy items, such as accidental damage from handling (on portable electronics); breakdowns because of heat, dust and humidity; power surges; and wear and tear. Exchange Protection Plans come in varying lengths, from one-year to lifetime warranties.
“Adding an Exchange Protection Plan to a big-ticket purchase is a smart move that can save shoppers the cost of having to replace the item if it breaks,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “For as little as 2% of the price of the item, military shoppers can keep their purchases safe.”
Electronics that connect to Wi-Fi receive additional benefits with the Exchange Protection Plans, including 24/7 tech support to assist with new device setup, smart home setup, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, settings optimization and more.
For shoppers purchasing Apple computers, smartphones, tablets, Apple TV, watches and more, there’s AppleCare+ protection to cover screen damage, theft, batteries and more. AppleCare+ provides service and support from the people who know Apple products best, allowing shoppers to receive service and support from Apple experts, with most issues being resolved in a single call.
Online shoppers, including honorably discharged Veterans who have verified their eligibility to use their lifelong benefit at ShopMyExchange.com, can add protection plans or AppleCare+ during checkout. In-store shoppers, including Veterans with service-connected disabilities and Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians, can speak with an associate at checkout to add a plan.
