Your bank’s website will not have any information about any extended warranty. You have to go to MasterCard’s website: Guide to Benefits EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. MasterCard is the stingiest. If the product has more than a one year warranty, then MasterCard does not help.
> Extended Warranty doubles the original warranty time period and duplicates the coverage of the original manufacturer’s (or U.S. store brand) warranty up to a maximum of twelve (12) months on most items you purchase. For products with multiple warranty components, each warranty time period will be duplicated up to a maximum of twelve (12) months. Should you fail to properly register the original warranty as required by manufacturer, Extended Warranty will only double the actual warranty time period that you received from the manufacturer. An example of a product with multiple warranty components includes an appliance with original manufacturer’s (or U.S. store brand) warranties that differ for parts, labor, compressor, etc.
> If you purchase a service contract or an optional extended warranty of twelve (12) months or less on your item, Extended Warranty will cover up to an additional twelve (12) months after both the original manufacturer’s (or U.S. store brand) warranty and the purchased service contract or extended warranty coverage period end. If your service contract or extended warranty exceeds twelve (12) months, this coverage does not apply.
> If you do not have an additional service contract or an optional extended warranty, this Extended Warranty benefit commences the day after your original manufacturer’s (or U.S. store brand) warranty expires.
> If either the original manufacturer’s (or U.S. store brand) warranty or the service contract covers more than twelve (12) months, Extended Warranty benefits will not apply.
