I had a pair of nice and relatively new binoculars that I mounted on a tripod for birdwatching. Well, they fell and it dropped onto the concrete, damaging the left eyecup. I had signed up for Amazon’s new protection plan about 2 months ago thinking it would be a good investment considering how much I buy on Amazon. I’m so glad I did! The claims submission process was exceptionally easy and quick. I dropped the box off at the UPS Store on Friday, got an email from Assurion that evening confirming they knew it was on the way and by Monday I had an email with an Amazon gift card for the full purchase price.
