Look, if you think it's a good deal, go for it. I wouldn't, for all the reasons set forth in this post. But they aren't pushing these warranties because they're your friends.
You're assuming they'd put a lot of effort into trying to fix it. The more likely scenario is they dick around, have it sitting on a shelf, tell you they have a backlog and won't get to it for 5 weeks, etc.
You still don't get it. It costs them more than $50 just to look at it. They have to send it out to HO in another city and get some techie to spend time just to get an opinion about whether it can be fixed. This costs more than what they made on the insurance. Like I said, unless gadget is > a few hundred dollars, this store ain't gonna do that. They'll give you the credit straight up. You get your money back to buy a new machine with all the latest features. And all it cost you was the insurance. It's a LEASE. And people lease cars all the time.
