Drain line failure, Claim denied for clearly untrue reasons. After a drain line underneath our home wore out due to age American home shield decided that it was the concrete floor that caused the pipe to collapse and we were denied coverage. This was not the opinion of the plumber, but something that they decided. When we asked for a second opinion, they couldn't find another plumber in our area (of 120,000 + residents) to come and look at the issue. American Home Sheild is a complete waste of money. Unless you want to donate a monthly amount to this company for absolutely no reason, you should save your money. You get the added bonus of waiting weeks to attempt to resolve problems, that they will not cover. A massive waste of time and a significant amount of additional stress will enter your life if you buy an American Home Sheild policy and something actually goes wrong.

False advertising. Cannot cancel any time. Tried to cancel my plan on a Sunday morning. Called the service line asking to cancel but being told that the Member Services team who processes cancellations only works M-F 8a to 5p. I asked if anyone currently working has the authority to cancel my plan and they claimed they do not. Then I asked for a call record number to document my interaction and they said they cannot share that number. So I can't cancel any time, only during business hours, and I don't have the right to know my call/ticket ID.

False advertising and promises from AHS! I read pretty good reviews with AHS and left my old home warranty company as they were not very helpful with previous claims to sign up with AHS. I signed up with AHS in early March. This year, it has been pretty cool and cold until now in April when it is getting warmer. I turned my A/C on recently and discovered that it was not throwing cold air. Their A/C repair guy came to check unit and said it was secondary to leak of condenser coil and called it a "pre-existent condition." How can it be pre-existent if it did not start working until now. AHS did not want to put their part even though the contract clearly says it covers corrosion and condenser leakages. They are complete scam artists! I will be cancelling now and looking for a more honest company. Thanks for nothing AHS!

Extremely frustrating experience 1) Horrible overseas customer service. The people on the phone are robots reading off a script, rather than people who think through problems. Every single time I called it was like nails on a chalk board, trying to understand their English and dealing with the pre-written scripts. 2) The overseas escalation team refused to interpret my contract correctly when it came to my roof add-on option. I argued over the phone for over an hour. We finally had to spend $200 on online tools to get the company executives' (state-side) contact information, who finally correctly (but rudely in the end) dealt with the problem correctly. 3) Even after we had in writing the amount they were contractually obligated to pay for our roof, it took 3 months for my roof contractor to get paid. The process seemed smoother for appliance contractors, but my roofer was used to dealing with normal home insurance, and being uninitiated, and he had to be on the phone for hours talking to customer service to even get transferred to the correct number for the contractor portal. He was also treated rudely by the executive we had to contact, like he was stupid for not knowing their twisted "process". 4) I was unable to cancel my contract online but had to spend time on the phone jumping through more awful customer service hoops just to cancel my contract. THEN, even though I was in the middle of a contract month and had just paid my premium two weeks prior, they wanted to charge me an extra month as a cancellation charge. They offered two free months to keep me as a customer, provided I return to automatic renewal (fat chance!). I've been offered one month free premium in the past because of a billing issue and they didn't keep their word, so I turned down their free months and get out of there! 5) It took them at least a month in the first place to be able to find a roofing contractor that would even work with them.
