Well, almost free, cost was $22. As I've stated here before about camera warranty, it pays to know who to buy from.

If you purchase your trail cams from walmart online, they offer a 3 year warranty for an extra $22 when you get to the end of your purchase process.

Had 2 of my tactacams bite the dust within 2 weeks of each other, they are the oldest of my 9 that I own, they were 2 years & 2 months old. That sideways rain we had a couple weeks ago must have done them in, both had water in the door latch where the controls are. So I pulled my email receipt which contained the link on it for a claim. Went through the steps two days ago (all by email) and just got my email that they are shipping the 2 brand new cameras to me.

Here's how it worked: They sent an email to offer me cash first for each camera, $105 for each, I denied, which is an option, then they responded with 3 different cameras and told me to pick the one I wanted. None of the three choices were the Tactacam 2.0 which I had. The links they included for me to choose from where Amazon links. So, I found the Gen 2.0 on Amazon and replied and said "I do not want any of the options you sent, I want the camera I paid for to be replaced with the exact model and I included the link from Amazon. They replied back and said yes and I would get an email soon. Note: I do not have to send the failed cams back to the warranty people.

As most of us know, all but a few cam brands are china made, they come with a 1 year warranty (unless you buy from trailcampro.com, then it's 2 years) and it's a roll of the dice sometimes that these will make it past 2 years in the woods. I learned from my brownings I use to run that purchasing from walmart with the warranty was the way to go. (I do buy from trailcampro.com also).

Thought this was pretty good info for those of you running tactacams or thinking of a brand that will take care of you.

AWESOME

Sweet

This is good info, thanks for posting.

cool

UPDATE

So I've been in the woods so sorry for the late update. I received a call from unknown number and answered. It was an Allstate rep handling my claim for my cameras. She said that they could not send me the cameras from the amazon link I provided (even though they said yes and said they would ship). She was very nice, apologized for the confusion and said that she would send me a walmart e-gift card for the full purchase amount of the cameras. I was totally fine with that and shortly after I hung up, it was in my inbox. So today, I went on walmart site, put 2 Reveal Gen 2 cameras in my inbox, used the e-gift card, added the 3 year warranty to each camera ($44) and I go pick them up on the way home after work. Note, the full purchase price the refunded me did not include the $22 for each camera I paid insurance on, just the cameras.
Pretty good deal if you ask me.

That was good information ... I'll buy my next one (s) from Walmart too.

Just wanted to bring this back up as I make new friends at my new job who do not know this. So read the back posts to get a real good update.

Purchased 4 cameras a few days ago from Walmart. THIS YEAR, they are offering a 4 year warranty on the tactacam reveal 3.0 cameras I purchased. So first, know that I got cameras in a 2 pack which saved me $10 a camera, then purchased the 4 year warranty on the 2 pack set (each has 4 year warranty) for $43 bucks. Now most of you know that they will not last 4 years and if they do, I got my moneys worth out of them. If not, I can replace them 1 time in that 4 year period.

It's a heck of a deal man. These cams get expensive once you buy the cam, batteries and plans. Nice to know if one breaks within 4 years I'm good.

Just for clarification, I bought the cams & warranty online, not in the store.

This is one of the two packs I was telling you about on Walmart.com
You save $20 bucks which you can assume your applying to the warranty. The warranty for 4 years on both cameras is $43 but you can do 3 years, 2 years for less.

Do you y chance know if you can add the warranty after purchase? I just recieved a two pack from walmart yesterday.

1 (800) 925-6278
There's their online customer service, give them a call.
If they do, make sure they send you the email because that has the link and all the info to make the claim.

Thanks
