Amex Platinum Charge Card. If I'm not wrong, it doubles your warranty coverage, up to 48 months. That's something like ~$200-300 in value, since AppleCare+ is $369.
The American Express Gold Charter Card also has this feature. There may be some other credit, charge, and even debit cards with this feature. (I haven’t looked too hard.)

How does this work? I only saw that AMEX purchase protection is up to 90days ?



Purchase Protection

Insurance for accidental damage or theft for items you have purchased on your Platinum Card within 90 days of purchase, up to the purchase price of each time subject to:

  • a limit of S$10,000 for each incidence of theft or damage, regardless of the number of items affected in each incidence; and
  • a total aggregate limit of S$50,000 in any Period of Insurance.

I wish I knew how to apply for this. I'd put all my electronics purchases on it.
Give AMEX a call. They might know.

Other countries may issue payment cards that extend manufacturer warranties, so that’s another possible option for some.

Understand that smrt card regards telco payment as bill payments so i used hsbc advance. The transaction with m1 reflected as m1 - jurong shop onl. Hence I think smrt card should be safe?

it's not about description, the core thing behind how they determine is very much MCC based. if the shop shares the same MCC code as the online bill, it'll be the same result.
