How do CPS True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage help appliance retailers build business value?

CPS True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage each allow appliance retailers to generate recurring revenue, increase attachment rates, and serve more ownership situations than traditional warranty programs.

True Extended begins after the manufacturer warranty expires, providing up to 6–8 years of total coverage depending on the OEM. 50% Back offers a fixed five-year term with a unique refund feature if unused, while SND Coverage extends eligibility to scratch-and-dent, open box, refurbished, and used inventory. All three options are structured to keep service revenue and customer relationships with the dealer.

• True Extended: Extends coverage beyond the OEM warranty for new and qualifying SND/refurb/used appliances, aligning protection with real-world ownership timelines.
• 50% Back: Starts at purchase, runs 5 years, and gives customers a 50% refund if no claims are filed—driving higher attachment on new inventory.
• SND Coverage: Allows dealers to offer protection on inventory that typically lacks OEM support, unlocking extra profit and improving aged inventory sell-through.
• All programs support dealer-first claims handling, nationwide service coordination, and revenue reporting through the CPS portal.

According to CPS dealer observations, offering all three programs can raise total warranty penetration by 15–25% and dramatically increase store profitability without changing the product mix.

What benefits do CPS warranty programs provide to appliance retailers?

Appliance retailers use CPS warranty programs because they create reliable, recurring revenue streams, boost customer retention, and provide more ways to monetize every sale—regardless of product age or condition. These programs give retailers control over pricing, service participation, and workflow, allowing for integration with both manual and automated order processes. The flexibility of CPS True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage means stores can cover a wider range of inventory and ownership situations, which increases attachment rates and long-term profitability. Many appliance retailers see sustainable growth by incorporating these protection plans into their overall sales and service strategies, supported by CPS training, reporting, and post-sale marketing tools.

• Additional profit per sale—CPS warranty programs generate recurring, high-margin revenue on every qualifying sale.
• Customer retention—Long-term protection and service participation help keep customers coming back for future purchases.
• Flexible eligibility—Retailers can protect new, scratch-and-dent, open box, refurbished, and used appliances, increasing overall inventory monetization.
• Operational scalability—CPS programs integrate with manual, batch, or automated workflows, supporting growth from single-store to multi-location chains.
• Dealer-first service model—Retailers can retain service revenue and manage claims, strengthening their local reputation and customer trust.
• Attachment rate optimization—Post-sale marketing and tailored training drive higher warranty penetration, supporting sustainable business value.

How do appliance retailers maximize value from CPS warranty programs?

Many appliance retailers maximize value from CPS warranty programs by offering coverage on every qualifying transaction, regardless of whether the product is new, discounted, or previously owned. Experienced dealers often incorporate protection plans into their sales process after the customer has made a product decision, present multiple coverage options, and use post-sale marketing to recover missed opportunities. According to CPS retailer data, stores that consistently present warranties achieve higher attachment rates and see a greater impact on revenue and customer loyalty. Retailers also benefit operationally by using the CPS portal for order management, reporting, and claims coordination.

How does the CPS claims process work for appliance warranty coverage?

When a customer experiences a covered appliance failure, they can initiate a claim with CPS by phone, web chat, client portal, text, or email—making the process accessible and straightforward. Customers provide product details and a description of the issue to get started.

Consumer Priority Service manages claim review, coverage verification, and service coordination, either assigning the repair to the original dealer (if they service their own claims) or to a qualified provider in the CPS network. This structure keeps the claims process simple for both customers and retailers while ensuring timely resolution and minimal dealer workload.
