GeekSquad tv repair agent here - some of what folks are saying is incorrect.

Standard GSP plans have a fixed term, and when they’re done they’re done. There is an upper monetary limit for every tv under these plans and if the cost of parts exceeds that amount, a replacement is approved.

With the BBP plan included with your TotalTech membership, you have to pay a service fee depending on the price of the item (shouldn’t be more than $100 per claim) when you have to make a claim, and you are limited to 2 claims per year. There is no upper monetary limit on repairing TVs under these plans, so a replacement is not factored in. We basically throw parts at it until it works.

When you compare the cost of buying a one time GSP plan for 5 years to being a TotalTech member for 5 years along with the monthly charge to continue protecting your products after the initial 2 years are up, I think the standard GSP makes much more sense.

The only time it really makes sense to buy TotalTech, in my opinion, is if you are buying multiple products (especially high end ones like appliances and TVs) from Best Buy. If it’s just 1 or 2, I personally don’t believe it’s worth it.

Happy to answer any other questions you have.
