Bought a new DSLR camera from Tiger Direct using the 15% cashback from Bing.com (Microsoft's cashback search site)
I refused the 1 year extended warranty from TD at a cost of $169.89.
I went over to SquareTrade who I've gotten a couple other warranties from and got a quote:
3 year warranty from date of purchase (so two additional years of coverage over the manufacturer's 1 year) with $0 deductible: $74.99
Added the Accidential Damage Option with $50 deductible: $30
Coupon "EARLYSUMMER" for 20% off (found out "CCLIQUIDATION" takes off 30%)- Total: $84.99 for 3 years with ADH.
Well, I checked my email and got this letter from tiger direct:

Here was my reply:
Hello. Square Trade is quoting me $83.99 for 3 years coverage from date of purchase with $0 deductible on standard failure and $50 deductible on accidental damage (Standard Extended Warranty with Accidental Damage Option). I've read several reviews on Tiger Direct's extended warranty carriers and the reviews aren't too reassuring. What can you do for me?
--------
I can't wait to see what his response is considering their non-ADH 1 year extended was twice as much as my SquareTrade. Oh, looking at their site, 2 year extended with ADH (3 years total I'm assuming) is $199.
