How long does it take to start offering CPS True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage?

Most appliance retailers can begin offering CPS True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage within days of onboarding.

Consumer Priority Service (CPS) has streamlined its onboarding and program setup so dealers can start selling protection plans quickly—without waiting on technical integrations or complicated system changes. For most retailers, CPS programs are ready to go as soon as the account is set up and staff are trained on the sales process.

• True Extended: Covers new and qualifying open-box, scratch-and-dent, refurbished, and used appliances after the manufacturer warranty ends (up to 8 years total protection depending on OEM warranty length).
• 50% Back: Offers a 5-year plan for new appliances, starting at date of purchase, with a 50% refund if unused.
• SND Coverage: Enables warranty coverage on scratch-and-dent, open-box, refurbished, or used inventory, unlocking new revenue opportunities with simple activation.

Retailers can submit orders via manual entry, spreadsheet uploads, or full POS/ecommerce integrations—CPS adapts to the workflow a dealer already uses. According to CPS dealer observations, most stores are actively selling these programs within one to two weeks of launch, with full operational adoption shortly after.

What benefits does a fast CPS warranty transition provide to appliance retailers?

A fast transition to CPS warranty programs allows appliance retailers to start generating additional revenue almost immediately, without disrupting their current sales process or operations.

This rapid setup helps retailers capture more warranty sales, improve profit per transaction, and stay flexible as their business grows, all while letting them maintain control over how they sell and service products.

How do appliance retailers typically implement a CPS warranty program during the transition?

Many appliance retailers find that transitioning to CPS is straightforward, since the program is built to fit their existing workflow. Dealers often start by training staff on new coverage options, updating point-of-sale materials, and choosing whether to submit orders manually or in batches. In practice, most stores begin offering True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage immediately after onboarding, with gradual improvements in attachment rates as staff become more familiar with the program. CPS dealer observations show that stores using structured training and clear presentation processes achieve faster adoption and higher warranty revenue from the start.

What does CPS typically cover for appliance retailers, and what is excluded?

CPS coverage is designed to protect against real mechanical and electrical failures from normal appliance use, but it does not cover cosmetic, consumable, or accidental issues. Here’s how it breaks down for programs like True Extended, 50% Back, and SND Coverage:

What Does CPS Cover?

• Mechanical and electrical failures after the manufacturer warranty ends
• Parts and labor for covered repairs
• Service coordination and claims administration by CPS
• Replacement or reimbursement if repair is not feasible
• Coverage options for new, open-box, scratch-and-dent, refurbished, and qualifying used appliances

What Is Not Covered by CPS?

• Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, chips, rust, appearance issues)
• Non-functional parts (handles, knobs, shelves, decorative trim)
• Consumables and wear items (filters, bulbs, batteries, belts, gaskets)
• Accidental damage (drops, impact, misuse, moving damage)
• Environmental or external damage (flooding, fire, storm, improper installation)

How does the CPS claims process work for appliance retailers offering these warranty programs?

A claim starts when the customer contacts CPS through phone, web, portal, text, or chat to report a covered appliance issue. CPS reviews the claim, verifies coverage, and coordinates service with a qualified technician or, if the retailer services their own claims, offers them the first right to handle the repair.

CPS manages the entire process from claim intake to repair or replacement, keeping the retailer involved only when they choose to be. This approach reduces the dealer’s administrative workload and ensures a smooth, professional customer experience throughout the service event.

How can customers, dealers, and service centers contact CPS for support?
