I was able to use a credit card warranty that extended the manufacturer's warranty an additional year for replacement of an iPad. The replacement iPad (which was refurbished, not new, and never worked at all) came with a note from Apple saying that warranty replacement products are refurbished and have no warranty since the original warranty on the new iPad had expired. To add insult to injury, we then received a letter from the credit card company that the terms of our credit card had been changed and extended warranties were discontinued. I never figured out if this was just bad timing or if they did this to us because we actually had read the small print and made them honor it.
