Jewelry & Watch Protection Plan FAQ

What is the JCPenney jewelry/watch protection plan?

The JCPenney jewelry/watch protection plans offer comprehensive protection from normal wear and tear on your jewelry or watch item from the date of purchase.

 

How does a JCPenney protection plan work?

After you purchase a watch or jewelry item, you will receive a protection plan contract explaining the following:

  • If your item is in need of repair at any time during the period of coverage, simply visit a local JCPenney store or call 1-866-212-1971. Our customer care representatives will explain how to send your item in for repair.
  • Next, you will receive a prepaid mailing label.
  • After you receive the label, send the item in for repair.
  • Once your item is repaired, it will be sent back to you.
  • If your jewelry or watch cannot be repaired, you will be reimbursed for the purchase price of the item.
  • The JCPenney service depot will determine whether your item can be repaired or if you will be reimbursed the purchase price.
