Does anyone know how the new 2 year warranty extension works when combined with manufacturer extended warranties? For instance, does buying Apple Care for a new MacBook Pro go from 3+1 to 3+2? Or is it 3+1 since the original non-extended warranty was 1 year? The new verbiage says Original Manufactuers Warranty, but the full terms aren't yet published as they go into effect on 8/1/2018. I also haven't seen any discussion on the Purchase Protection extension from 90 to 120 days.
Extended Warranty
Extended Warranty is provided to You as a benefit of Card Membership at no additional charge when a purchase is made with Your eligible Card. For claims submitted to Us on and after August 1, 2018, one of the following will occur:
• If the original manufacturer's warranty is less than two (2) years*, We will match the length of that warranty.
• If the original manufacturer's warranty is between two (2) and five (5) years*, We will increase coverage to provide two (2) additional years of warranty.
The benefit is limited to the actual amount charged to Your Card for the item, up to a maximum of $10,000; not to exceed $50,000 per Card Member account per calendar year.
*For residents of Indiana, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Northern Mariana Islands, Your coverage will continue to match the original warranty period for warranties of less than one (1) year or provide one (1) additional year if the warranty is between one (1) and five (5) years.

The Base + Extended warranty can't exceed 5 years though. So keep that in mind...
