MFS Quarterly Connection  
What's New
 
MFS Introduces the Online Consumer Portal  
 
We're making the claim process even easier for your customers with our new online Consumer Portal. After customers file a claim, they can use the online Consumer Portal to check the status of their claim, upload their purchase receipt, upload self-inspection photos and view letters that were previously sent to them.
 
Customers can log in to see their claim details by entering their Protection Plan Number and zip code OR by entering their Claim ID and zip code. Requiring customers to enter information into two fields ensures security of their personal information.
 
To access the online Consumer Portal, visit our website and click on the maroon button titled "Consumer Portal" in the upper right hand corner of the screen or click here to be taken directly to the portal.
 
If you have questions regarding the new Consumer Portal, please contact your sales representative. To obtain contact information for your sales representative, please contact the MFS Order Department at 1.800.449.1476.

"Our renewed confidence in servicing our customers, along with the unique training support you have made available to us has resulted in substantially higher revenue generation for this important category. Dollars generated from our MFS Protections Plans represent the highest margins of anything we sell and we are doing it at rates we never experience prior to our relationship with MFS."
