I tried using the code and it wouldn't let me.
I will call tomorrow and see if they will do the 20% off like they did for you.
I just got off the phone with them, and I used my best 'oooh I like discounts' voice. He was really helpful and said I couldn't use my friends discount, but he would just give me 20% off for giving them a try (after I explained that I have a LOT of techy goodness in my house and like to replace it occasionallysjc said:Play dumb and say gee, it's a little more than I wanted to spend; would you happen to be offering any discounts at this time? Be sure to bat your eyelashes and sound all Marilyn Monroe-ish or George Clooney-ish; they may have one of those phones that shows your face on their screen...lol. Wink
This just doesn't make any sense. A hard drive is a totally different beast, much more susceptible to damage than the the Kindle's internal storage. Anecdotal tales here on the KBoards http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,396.msg4959.html#msg4959 and Amazon's own ad show that accidents, such as dropping, that would totally ruin a hard drive don't harm the Kindle (not that we're recommending tests).RB said:Just hung up with Square Trade. I questioned the variation on price determined by whether they input it as pda/mp3/or computer drive/storage. I was told by Bea (customer service there) that the company has gone around and around trying to determine what to put the Kindle under, and the decision was made this weekend to list it as computer/drive/storage. All cust. service reps have now been instructed to follow these instructions (so my kind words wouldn't work to get it put under the cheaper code)
The price for this is $74.99 INCLUDING the accidental coverage. I had a discount code PRETHANK25 (which is for prior customers) which lowered it 25% bringing the total to $56.25. I have 3 kindle's and the code worked for all three warranties.
Hope this helps..

Maybe you can call them and they'll give you an adjustment. The worst they can say is no.sjc said:Boy Square Trade owes me big time. What gives? $98.00. Still glad I got the coverage though.
