Omg, I finally reached a point in my life where I have decent credit. The Costco Citibank offers 2 year warranties on any product you buy with it.

Some fun I’ve had:

My wife wanted to lead to build a gaming desktop and ended up jabbing the motherboard with a screwdriver. They asked us to get an estimate for repair and credited the whole amount.

We buy drat near everything through that card now. Bird scooter we put money on took a big ol poo poo and demanded we carry it 6 blocks to stop it from charging us, bang chargeback instantly approved.

24 hour fitness and their class action? I didn’t have to do ANYTHING with that garbage, I called em and let em know “I’m not a lawyer and am having a hard time with this paperwork they expect me to do to get my money back”. Boom - every payment they’ve charged me in 2020.

Our OLED tv has 5 years of warranty because of that card and Costco. It a direction I appreciate things going in... if we can’t have the kinds of basic protection afforded by government that Europeans take for granted.

It seems like capitalism has decided consumer protection is worth it, caveat emptor is not a feasible way to get consumers to keep shopping.

tl;dr

Having a warranty on stuff like a car wash breaking down mid spray is pretty nice.
