I just got my booklet in the mail. This is crazy. Instead of just punishing the people that are committing insurance fraud, we all have to suffer. There goes $14 a month that they won't be getting from me anymore.

I searched for this, didn't see anything.

I just got a letter from Asurion saying they are now offering free overnight shipping on all phone replacements and some other crap but they are increasing the deductible from $50 to $100 next month on "tier 2" phones, now while the Pro wasn't listed, in fact, no HTC phone was listed but looking through the list most smart phones were affected by the increase.

If the Moto Q9c was considered a "Tier 2" phone than I assume most smartphones will be considered as such.

Keep an eye out.

I should also note that throughout the life of the phone it will be downgraded from a tier 2 to a tier 1 as it ages and gets cheaper to replace.

Regular matinence is still free

TP, Diamond, etc are included, I don't have the info right now but this was already discussed in another thread. I don't remember if it was here or in sprintusers.

Saw it coming after how much the system has been abused.

look under "UT Starcom" i think.
but, yeah, definitely $100 for the mogul/tp.

guess it's time to go to AT&T :P (kidding!)

we didnt actually think getting 10 new moguls and then 3 new Touch Pros wasnt going to effect anything did we? LOL

There is a thread here. Doubling your deductible is crazy.

I said a year ago this was going to happen, they need to limit the abuse of the system somehow.......

$100 will make people think twice before forcing them to replace a perfectly working phone 5 or 6 times (& then bragging about it on boards like this)......

All this does though is punish the people that are not abusing it. They should have been more strict about pay outs. Or made it tougher to get an exchange. Its insurance, they should label the abusers as "uninsurable"
