Save your money and do NOT purchase the extended warranty protection plans when purchasing any electronics, especially TVs, from Costco. Costco is great, Allstate is NOT!
The Allstate agents will go out of their way to get out of honoring a warranty. Many of the agents are also very rude and impatient. This is extremely disappointing. They will continually ask for videos, photos, and/or diagnostic checks of the faulty equipment. No picture and/or video will be good enough. Even after you comply multiple times, they will continue to ask for more. This seems to be tactic to wear you down. It works! You get to the point where you find it will just be easier to replace what's broken. Hats off to their training in that area!
When you purchase the so called "protection plan," be fully aware that you are literally giving them free money and you will get nothing in return. I had been warned multiple times by friends and family alike not to purchase one of these plans. Sadly, I did not take their advice. Please do yourself a favor and save your money. I truly wish that I had. It would have also saved me the frustration as well.
