Do you register your products?

[socalcyclist]

Just recently put a new system together will all new parts. I'm sitting here cleaning up, going through all the papers and realize I have registration cards for just about every piece of equipment. Do you register your products? Is it worth it? The Samsung registratio card states they will extend the limited warranty by 3 months if you register.

Yes, I register my hardware for the warrenties. It has paid off in few instances.

Yes, but not paper cards.

It's easiers for me to do it online.

I'll register the spendy ones. Vid Card, Mobo, Memory, etc. But the DVD burners & such turn out to cost as more for shipping & the time put into them, than it would to just bite the bullet & outright buy a new one. Just my $.02

 

[JEDIYoda]

yes--online is the best way IMO!!!

Contrary to popular opinion, I stopped registering my products when I got broadband Internet. I soon learned that product registration is the pathway to spam. So, . . . I occasionally register by snail mail and card but never give my email address. It works for me.

Yes. And, I also favor the online method. I just replaced a battery in my UPS. They require registration for warranty coverage. The warranty for a mail-in registration is 1 year. But, registering online extends the warranty one year for a total time of 2 years.

Whether registration is done by postal mail or online, keeping some record of it is obviously important.

Never, unless it actually improves warranty, etc.

I used to register my console videogames because I would occasionally get demos sent to me.

Sometimes reg is the only way to get a decent warranty, but if you are worried about spam or even much of a nerd you have what 6 email accts from yahoo, gmail etc and not all using your real name (mixed on that, but here I am).

I have a special email address that I use for registrations, contests, and other times when I might be worried about spam but need to leave an emai. It's an address I almost never check and do not care if it gets spammed. My personal private email address never gets any spam becasue of this.

I use the exact same method and my main box has remained spam free for years now.

Yep, I register my hardware

This is disconcerting, I have never registered anything under the impression that it's pointlessand useless. Time to go reread(ok, read) those warranty policies and under what condition they are 'activated.'

Just wondering, which companies 'require' you to register to get a decent or improved warranty?

 

[d3lt4]

No i don't ever register. It's too much of a pain.
Poll FTW!
