How does my Switch console or controller get repaired?

Take your Switch to one of our in-network repair shops near you or request to take it to your shop of choice. Alternately, we’ll pay for round-trip shipping to and from our certified repair center. It will be diagnosed, repaired, and then sent back to you in working order!

If my Switch gets replaced, does my warranty come to an end?

Yes, having your Switch replaced ends the warranty on your device. You can purchase a new warranty for the new device.

Can I buy a warranty on a used/refurbished console or controller?

Yes! You can buy a warranty for your used or refurbished Switch console or controller as long as you purchased your device within the last 60 days. Used devices must also come with at least a 30-day seller or manufacturer warranty.

I just purchased my warranty, when can I make my first claim?

You must wait until 31 days after you buy your warranty to make a claim.

Do you cover my model of console or controller?

Yes, we cover all models of Nintendo consoles or controllers as long as there is at least a 90-day manufacturer's warranty or a 30-day seller's warranty on it (the vast majority do). Upsie is not able to protect international models as the companies often do not ship replacement parts to the United States.

Can I cancel my warranty and receive a refund?

Yes, you can cancel your warranty, often for a full or partial refund. When you cancel your plan within 30 days of plan purchase and have not made an approved claim, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel your plan after 30 days of warranty purchase and have not made a claim, you will receive a prorated refund based on how many days remain on your warranty term minus a 10% cancellation fee calculated from the prorated amount. Refunds are not available on any warranty plan with an approved claim.

How it Works:

Buy & Activate Your Nintendo Switch Warranty

You can buy an Upsie warranty for your Nintendo controllers and console, such as the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, up to 60 days after purchase. To activate your Upsie coverage, upload a picture or copy of your product’s receipt in your account.

Coverage Starts

Upsie's coverage overlaps with the manufacturer warranty for as long as the manufacturer warranty is active. Most plans start accidental coverage for drops and spills on the 31st day after you purchase your Upsie warranty. When the manufacturer warranty ends, Upsie takes over full coverage, so your device is never without protection. (Read more in our FAQ)

Make a Claim

Make a call 24/7/365 to file your claim. A real person will answer, walk you through the claim and let you know if it is covered. You can also start the claim by filling out a form in your online account. We may ask for a picture of your Nintendo for verification.

Q

Is there a limit to the number of claims I can make on my Switch console or controller?

A

We will cover an unlimited number of claims up to the purchase value of the device. If you have a Nintendo Switch with a purchase value of $299, and we repair it for $100, then you would have $199 remaining in claims.
