If they didn't, they would be replaced by people who could. When my young bride and I were stationed at Ft Drum NY in 1990 I went to sears to get her a Christmas present. Being the romantic SOB that I was back then I chose a Vacume and a Microwave. Back then we were so broke we could not pay attention so I used my Sears Card. They offered me the service contract and I declined. The guy asked if I needed a gift receipt and I said yes they are gifts so please don't call the house. Two days later some chuckle head called the house asking my wife if she had any questions about her new vacume and microwave and pitched her the service contracts to.

Replying to: tbaxxon (Jul 31, 2007 9:45 am) i'm not big on EW either (by the way, we can all read here, so turn off your caps), but my wife and i have a washer and dryer that my mother in law gave us which they bought the EW for. We had a small leak in the washer tub, and because they had to take apart the entire washer, the repair bill was more than the EW for both the washer and dryer. The part was 30 bucks, but the labor was $800.

Replying to: tbaxxon (Jul 29, 2007 11:34 am) You pay directly for an extended warranty. You pay indirectly for a standard warranty. But you still pay for it.
