Free extended warranty on electrical goods this Christmas

With three weeks until Christmas, people are braving the shops to find the ideal presents. When deciding which credit card to use to fund these purchases, consumers often overlook the benefit that an extended warranty on electrical goods can offer.

Christmas shoppers intending to buy electrical items costing over £50 such as TVs, DVD players and cameras, which are paid for with a Nationwide credit card, are covered by the Society’s one year extended warranty. This cover provides a further 12 months’ warranty after the manufacturer’s warranty (of up to two years) expires – and is free. Customers must register their purchase within 60 days, with a simple phone call.

Items covered include:

TVs (up to 39 inch)
Plasma Screen TVs
DVD players
Hi-fis
Camcorders
Digital cameras to £1,000

Nationwide credit card customers can take advantage of extended warranty throughout the year and not just at Christmas. With the January sales looming, customers can also benefit when buying items such as washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners and tumble dryers.

Jeremy Wood, divisional director at Nationwide, said: “Lots of people will be buying electrical goods this Christmas, such as DVD players, cameras and TVs. When making these purchases using a Nationwide credit card, customers can benefit from an extra year’s warranty, giving them peace of mind that they are covered once the manufacturer’s guarantee has expired.”
