On the surface, the DJI Care Refresh warranty seems like a decent deal for someone who might hedge bets on accidental damage. Basically your cost for the first crash is $179 ($100 for DCR, and $79 for your first swap), a good $600 savings.
However, the very first clause of their Terms of Service says the following (emphasis mine):
This sounds like you're also paying to be covered against their historically poor QC, which is a nickel-and-dime practice if I ever saw one. Someone please tell me build quality issues would be covered by their standard warranty? An extra $100 is worth decent piece of mind, but I'll refuse out of protest if this is the only way to get them to own up to their own mistakes.

If your aircraft suffers a performance failure due to a product quality problem during normal use, DJI Care Refresh offers up to two replacement units for a small additional charge each time the service is requested.
