Today only, SquareTrade offers its SquareTrade iPad 2-Year Warranty for $95.99. Coupon code “AUTUMN” cuts it to $89.99.

Unlike AppleCare, SquareTrade’s extended warranty also includes drop and spill protection. Have other items that need extended warranties? SquareTrade.com also takes 30% off warranties sitewide via the above coupon. (A maximum discount of $30 applies and it doesn’t stack with existing instant markdowns.) That’s among the best offers we’ve seen from SquareTrade, although we saw a 35% off discount a month ago, since expired.
