I recently purchased the AppleCare Protection Plan for my Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook and here is a quick overview of it.
What’s included in the box:
- Complementary TechTool Deluxe diagnostic software
- Getting Started Guide with information about the AppleCare Protection Plan
- Web registration instructions with a registration number
No, there are no Apple stickers that come with AppleCare
How to register:
1. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/applecare/overview
2. Follow the instructions on how to complete the registration process. Please note that you will need an Apple ID to complete the registration. They only take a few minutes to sign up for.
3. After you register your AppleCare plan, it could take up to 24 hours to active your plan. Apple recommends you print and keep your original product purchase receipt, confirmation email that could be sent and the AppleCare purchase receipt.
What does an AppleCare Protection Plan give you?
When you first buy your Apple product, it comes with a year of free repairs and 90 days of phone support. When you buy your AppleCare Protection Plan, you get a total of 3 years of free repairs and services and a total of 3 years of phone support as well. Buying AppleCare also allows you to stop at the Genius Bar and have them take a look at your product for free. Replacing batteries and MagSafe power adapters are included under AppleCare.
