AppleCare contracts vary depending on the device.
Had it on both my MacBook and iPhone. On the iPhone you get 2 counts of accidental damage. 0 on the MacBook. My thinking was that it's kind of expected that you'll drop your phone, but not your laptop. Same thinking would apply to being robbed/losing a phone versus a big tablet. I just learned from you that AppleCare covers losses and robberies... |

I for one would never buy a laptop with builtin LTE if it costs more, let alone theft/loss for more money. YMMV |

Charge it to your AMEX. AMEX provides up to 90 days of accidental damage and theft. They will also double the manufacturer's warranty up to 1 extra year of coverage. And it's free.

I get that with my visa signature with no annual fee and 1.75% cash back. If I want coverage beyond 90 days there is a fee. The claims process would be more of a hassle than doing it through Apple.

Second claim was for a Xerox Phaser 8560MFP/D printer. Extremely expensive printer. Ran into a problem with the main board with it just out of warranty. AMEX asked for an estimate and then approved the $900 repair bill. I charged the repair onto my AMEX and the credit washed out the balance. ETA: I forget the cash back rewards I get on my AMEX Blue. But I do get cash back and with no annual fee. |

You could get it through ATT if you buy from them. It can include devices not connected to a wireless plan. https://www.att.com/offers/device-protection.html

Just came back to say AppleCare never covered equipment lost or stolen, even iPhones. I thought so before but you said otherwise, so you might want to check again.
