A new Better Business Bureau national survey conducted by Kelton Research finds that more than four in 10 (42 percent) Americans admit they do not look at extended warranty policies that come with their purchases. Further, nearly half (46 percent) do not read service contracts, either. But are they worth the extra cost? The Better Business Bureau offers the following advice: Extended warranty vs. service contract: What’s the difference? Salespeople use the terms extended warranty and service contract interchangeably, but there is a distinction. An extended warranty protects you against manufacturing defects beyond the life of the express warranty. A service contract provides varying degrees of maintenance and upkeep. An extended warranty offers protection if your computer inexplicably goes on the fritz; a service contract might protect you if you spill coffee all over your keyboard, but, then again, it might not.
