No, price matching here. I bought their protection plan for my gf and I's cell phones from them. I dropped my phone and broke by the hinge. Now they say they don't cover accidental damage. However, I was told that it did cover accidental damage when I bought it.

I'm trying to get my $100 back for it since I'm going to have to buy another phone at full price ~$175. 🙁

Exactly - unless it's expressly stated in the contract, you're not likely to get anything out of them. Salesmen do all they can to sell those service plans (including lying) which are mostly profit for the store.

I actually think Best Buy's service plans used to cover accidental damage, but I'm fairly sure they changed that recently so it doesn't.

The exact terminology used at BB was "wear and tear" - meaning in the X numbers of years you chose for the extended warranty, if the keyboard was to ever wear out or touchpad start working erratically, they'd restore it to 100% health. We (BB employees) were implicitly told to make out as if the strictness of judging equipment as having suffered only normal wear/tear wasn't that forceful.

If the salesman are "encouraged" to lie to sell something by the company, it's a good thing they work for such a responsible corporate citizen.

You could just file a complaint with the Better Business bureau, just for thought of some closure.

Exactly. However, the associate was either misinformed or outright lied to me when I purchased the plan.

I simply want my money back since they did not sell me the product I thought I was buying.

From what I've heard, they're not encouraged to lie - but they're forced to sell those service plans any way they can, so many often resort to lies or misinformation to sell them.

 
Employees aren't really encouraged to lie... but they are pressured to the point of them willing to do anything to get the management off their back about it, including lying.
