Purchasing Power Partnership With SquareTrade Will Deliver Customers Superior Warranty Service

Oct. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- All Computers, Electronics & Major Home Appliances Ordered Through Purchasing Power Now Include A SquareTrade Warranty.

ATLANTA GA - Purchasing Power has announced a partnership with SquareTrade, the top consumer-rated warranty company, to provide exclusive warranty service on all computers, electronics and home appliances ordered through their employee purchase program.

SquareTrade was selected as the company’s exclusive warranty provider for their best-in-class customer service and breadth of warranty coverage. Purchasing Power’s aim with the partnership is to provide a value-added benefit to protect their customers’ purchases for at least 2 years. SquareTrade’s web-based self service and call center operations will handle Purchasing Power warranty claims and inquires.  

“Over the past few years, Purchasing Power has drastically increased the number of products offered to our customers, and they turn to us when they need assistance filing warranty claims,” revealed Richard Carrano, President and CEO of Purchasing Power. “Partnering with SquareTrade will provide Purchasing Power with the opportunity to simplify our warranty process by giving our customers a single point of contact for warranty claims on over 80% of the products we offer. “

“We are very excited to be protecting Purchasing Power customers with our award-winning innovative service.” said Steve Abernethy, President and CEO of SquareTrade. “Our focus is on making it easy for Employee Purchase Program customers to protect their items affordably with a hassle-free service to file claims and get fast repairs to take the stress out of product breakdowns. We are equally excited to partner with Purchasing Power in that we help further differentiate and increase the value Purchasing Power brings to the voluntary employee benefits marketplace.”

Purchasing Power is a voluntary benefit available to corporations, government agencies and military personnel that provides eligible employees with the financial empowerment to responsibly purchase computers, home appliances, televisions, and other popular brand-name electronics, through the convenience of payroll deduction.

Purchasing Power will be including the standard two-year SquareTrade warranty in the purchase price of all computers, tablets, TVs, cameras, MP3 players, eReaders, and home appliances, including refrigerators, ranges, washers and dryers. Customers will be offered the opportunity to increase to a three-year warranty with drops and spills coverage, for an additional charge.

As the average American household now has less discretionary income, Purchasing Power hopes that this extensive warranty service will provide its customers with the piece of mind that their investment will be covered during the program’s payment process. Every SquareTrade warranty comes with a five-day service guarantee, which has been consistently rated five-stars by consumers on the major review sites, including Nextag, Epinions.com, Google, Amazon, App Store, and Reseller Ratings.
