Yes it is fishy. I don't see anything here about that.
I'd say the genius made a mistake.
OHHHH here it is - way down just before the ; Disclaimer

The ProCare program is not intended to be a warranty, and any repair or service needed based on the ProCare services will be subject to any applicable warranty, extended service contract, or any other applicable repair terms or conditions (including applicable fees)
Still kinda vague as all get go - but sorta makes sense .
If you bought a Mac and did NOT buy Apple care - then your Pro-Care is only good for one year . So seems mine is good for 3 years or the life of my extended warranty period . I don't need to spend 99 bucks every year

I read Pro Care document again and it says "ProCare will be valid for one year from the date of purchase. " There does not appear to be a ProCare extended coverage lumped with an AppleCare package in the document.

Okay just got off the horn to Apple Store
Pro care is only good for 1 year with or without the extended Apple care
Now this means if you don't have to bring your Mac in constantly like once a month - then Pro care is a rip . In fact I only brought the 24 in once and thats when I bought the Pro Care - To get bump up in line , which did happen
So unless you have 3 macs that are still under warranty the 99 bucks is not worth it - unless the line bump is that important to ya
Since we've been reading up on this stuff, I decided the One on One program is a better deal that might interest me more. When I was working, I liked taking classes, etc. But now they're too expensive.

Yeah , DLC - David Likes the one on one lessons and recommends those . I never tried those and maybe I should ?
The Pro care is a good thing if the bump in the line is what you want - for me I cannot have my Mac off line for a long period of time a day or 2 at the max .
Anyway Sorta a crap shoot , take yer chances . You may never need it but spent the bucks , like insurance .
