I hate when that happens. You didn't happen to buy the fridge using a credit card, did you?

No - debit card. I honestly don't even know if my CC provider offers any extended warranty protection, etc. Should probably look into that one of these days.

Damn; wonder if any debit cards offer extended warranty coverage? Almost any MasterCard or AmEx CC offer it... sometimes you really have to dig for it, but it has always been worth it.

Mine does because it's tied to MC.

Stop using your debit card and start using a credit card... Debit cards offer less protection and banks are a real pain in the ass when some Nigerian wipes out your checking account... Sorta like the story I read this morning where a woman somehow generated $3 million in overdrafts and the bank froze ALL of her accounts. Shit wouldn't happen with a CC... scammer hits the limit and it's done... then you get a call from the CC company, "WTF, was this you?"... "no, my last purchase was xxxx"... "ok, we'll send you a new card in a few days."

I feel kinda sorry for stores who have to pay the 2-3% fee to Visa/MC, but most of them refuse to accept checks anymore because they're too lazy to go to the bank, so what else are you going to do?
