Well, I guess one of the most interesting things hidden in then Q&A section:
> Comes with 90 day warranty vs first gen had 1 year
> Optional 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year extended warranty available for U.S. customers sold separately.
- Grazester 10y agoThere is money to be made having people buy these warranties separately. Good for business not so much for the customer.
- post_break 10y ago90 day warranty is highway robbery. I have stopped buying electronics with anything but my AMEX because of these crap warranties.
- shostack 10y agoWhat does AMEX offer?I should probably reread my cardholder benefits.
- post_break 10y agoExtends the warranty https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/benefits/detail/extended-warranty/premier-gold https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/benefits/det...
- rdslw 10y agoJust move to EU. Two year minimum warranty period for consumers.
- overcast 10y agoAt this point I buy everything with my American Express. The amount of extras they give you is just crazy. Between saving 6% on grocery, 3% on gas, extended warranties, credit on utility bills, and other random deals. It's basically a no-brainer. Assuming of course you're responsible, and pay it off every month.
- dawnerd 10y agoI've been slowly switching everything over. I've been flying a lot too so getting a delta branded amex is really tempting for all the miles and such. Besides the extended warranties they give you, the travel aid is also a huge benefit. Instead of dealing with the airline I just give amex a call and they deal with it.
- overcast 10y agoLike I said, if you're responsible with payments, its awesome. However the fees/interest rates will murder you otherwise.
- outworlder 10y agoMany AMEX cards are not credit cards, they are charge cards, and supposed to be paid in full every month. Get one of these. Won't prevent mistakes but will remove the association between credit and money that many people have.
- gcr 10y agoWhat's the difference between a charge card and a debit card?
- celticninja 10y agoNow they are selling Alexa in the UK I wonder if the rules are different here due to consumer protection laws. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1677034/Two-year-warranty-EU-law.html http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1677034/Two...
- CodeMage 10y agoThey just need to wait until Brexit is implemented and then it becomes a moot point, right?
- celticninja 10y agoWell it is also for sale in Germany, which probably wont be leaving the EU anytime soon.
- jlittel 10y agoIt's $60 with a two year warranty (vs. $90 for previous model and one year warranty). I appreciate being able to choose to purchase the warranty, as opposed to bundling it.
- overcast 10y agoIt's also almost half the price.
