This information is confirmed on the Best Buy website: Does a My Best Buy Total™ membership cover tech support on devices purchased outside of Best Buy? My Best Buy Total™ offers 24/7/365 tech support on all devices, no matter where or when they were purchased. However, the appliance protection plan included with My Best Buy Total™ only covers appliances purchased from Best Buy while the membership is active. If you are looking for appliance coverage for an appliance purchased outside of Best Buy, you may want to consider purchasing a standalone appliance protection plan from another company. There are many different companies that offer appliance protection plans, so you can compare prices and coverage options to find the best plan for your needs. I hope this info helps!

It typically lasts for one or two years, and you have to pay a deductible if you need to use it. Totaltech is a membership program that covers all of your tech, no matter where you bought it. It includes up to two years of product protection on most new Best Buy purchases, plus unlimited tech support and other benefits. A little late but I hope this helps to clear up your doubts!

If so, what type of coverage is offered?](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/questions/best-buy-totaltech-yearly-subscription/5791900/question/d9a6f089-15fb-3494-ac67-031a4412f705) Asked 2 years ago by Mon. - Answer Hi Mon, Yes, the Totaltech Subscription covers Dyson hair tools such as the Airwrap and hair dryer. The coverage includes: Up to 24 months of extended product protection against mechanical and electrical failures, as well as accidental damage. Free Geek Squad support for your Dyson hair tool, including in-store, in-home, and remote support. Free standard shipping on all Dyson hair tool purchases. An extended 60-day return and exchange window on all Dyson hair tools. To file a claim on your Dyson hair tool, you can contact Geek Squad support at 1-888-BEST-BUY (1-888-237-8289) or visit any Best Buy store. You will need to provide your Best Buy Totaltech membership number and a receipt for your Dyson hair tool purchase. Here are some things to keep in mind about the coverage in your particular case: The coverage is only valid for Dyson hair tools that are purchased from Best Buy. The coverage does not cover normal wear and tear, or damage caused by misuse or abuse. There is a service fee associated with each claim. The fee is based on the price of the Dyson hair tool at the time of purchase. I hope this helps!

Can Apple Care coverage be extended to 3 years & beyond? How? and How much? Also, if I purchase the iPhone from apple is apple care automatic via bb](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/questions/best-buy-totaltech-yearly-subscription/5791900/question/992d2053-8ae1-31b6-bd12-5065fadb3c6e) Asked 3 years ago by Summer. - Answer Hi, If you purchase an iPhone in the middle of your Total Tech plan, you will still receive up to 24 months of Best Buy Protection or AppleCare+ coverage, even after your Total Tech membership ends. However, to continue receiving coverage beyond 24 months, you will need to purchase AppleCare+ directly from Apple. AppleCare+ can be extended to 3 years and beyond. To do this, you can purchase AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss. This plan includes everything in AppleCare+ and up to two incidents of theft or loss coverage every 12 months, each subject to a service fee or deductible. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss automatically renews each year, unless you cancel it. The cost of AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss varies depending on the product. For example, for an iPhone 14 Pro Max, AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss costs $269. The BB Applecare+ will protect a device you buy from Apple as long as you have an active Total tech membership when you buy it. I hope this info helps!
