Walmart Protection Plan:  How to Cover a New Item

• Customers must login to their Walmart account to begin
• The portal provides online password recovery assistance
• New users can sign up for online account access

The thrill of purchasing a major item tends to be replaced with nothing but anxiety once the customer begins thinking about all of the things that can go wrong with it.  However, there are things that customers can do to keep this uneasy feeling from setting in.  For example, those who have purchased an eligible item from Walmart can now cover it under the store’s protection plan.  In order to begin, customers must first go to the Walmart Protection Plan portal and click the link found under the Protect Your Purchases section.  Once at the account login screen, customers can enter an email address and password to enter and add the item (not all that different from the Ridgid registration process).

Wait, what if something goes wrong with the item??

• Customers can click the link under the File or Track claims section of the portal
• The Walmart Protection Plan will try to repair the item and replace it if necessary
• In many cases the plan approves new claims INSTANTLY (nothing wrong with that!)
• Some claims may require a specialist to help assist the customer with the claim

By the way, the portal provides password recovery assistance for those who lost or forgot their credentials.  In order to begin, the customer must first enter their email address to receive a verification code.  Once the code is received, the customer can use it to create a brand new password (some may need to go through this process way more often than others!).

Examples of Items Covered by the Walmart Protection Plan

• Laptops – Because dropping your new laptop down a flight of stairs is never fun
• Mobile Phones – Nobody likes looking at a huge crack when glancing at their screen
• Jewelry – Have a watch that suddenly stops ticking?  Get up and file a claim!
• Televisions – Covers electrical and mechanical failures from normal use

Customers can review the full Terms & Conditions of the Walmart Protection Plan by clicking the link found at the bottom of the portal.  By the way, those who aren’t satisfied with the plan can cancel within 30 days for a full refund by calling 877-538-4389.  Meanwhile, those who cancel after 30 days will receive a pro rata refund based on the amount of time left on the plan.

How do I access Payments Hub Registration?

• Users must register an email address and password
• Both owners and sales partners can gain account access
• New users can register for an online account

Any online portal that prides itself on ease of use should make sure the process of getting into the thing in the first place is just as simple as its features.  To put it briefly, Payments Hub lives up to this standard.  For instance, users who require account access can take advantage of the portal’s a streamlined registration process.  Rather than jumping through a bunch of hoops, new users are only required to fill out a brief online form with a name, email address, password, and Merchant ID or Account Number.  Once all pieces of information are entered the Submit button can be clicked to wrap up the process.

A Look at Payments Hub Insights

• The unique software tool is powered by Womply (an incredibly fast growing company)
• Businesses can use it to understand revenue streams (such as new vs repeat customers)
• Insights helps maintain a business’s reputation across social media platforms (HUGE)
• The software provides information about competitors and local market activity

Once the new user successfully completes the Payments Hub registration process they need only an email address and account password to login (no pesky PINs or other random requirements).  After entering both login credentials, the user can then click Sign In button to gain account access (as easy as it gets).  In addition to the easy login, Payments Hub also offers a straight forward password recovery process.  For instance, users who need to recover a password can simply enter their registered email address to begin the reset.

It should be noted that users will first need to confirm if they are a business owner or a sales partner before logging into an account.  The process of gaining access is the same for both owners and sales partners with the exception that sales partners may use their social media credentials to access Payments Hub.  Once the user selects the desired account they can go ahead and complete the login.

How to Enter the My Desk Morgan Stanley Portal

• Portal users can login with a password and PIN
• The portal allows the login destination to be chosen
• Users can contact the Help Desk for login assistance

It’s a rare thing for an online portal to provide users with the option to choose a landing spot after logging.  However, it appears the My Desk Morgan Stanley portal is one of the few that marches to the beat of a different drum.  For instance, users can choose between the options of going to a default desktop, using other applications, or leaving it open for choice BEFORE even attempting a login.  Portal users can accomplish this by selecting one of the 3 available options located in the drop down box.  Once the desired landing spot has been chosen, the portal requires users to confirm the type of connection being used (WiFi or Cellular).

My Desk Morgan Stanley:  A Few More Notes

• The portal provides a link for downloading the Citrix Receiver (may be needed)
• American users can contact the Help Desk at 888-255-6829 or 866-401-8324
• Soft ID users must enter the correct PIN in order to get the correct passcode
• Users can save personal settings by checking the box beneath the login fields

After the user chooses the type of connection a username, password, and PIN can be entered into the login fields before clicking the Go button to enter the portal.  Please note that the portal will not accept the login if an incorrect PIN has been entered.
