Q: apple care warranty

Spoke to Apple support through chat but not getting anywhere. At the time of purchase I was offerd the he (uplift programme Apple care) for £48 which said it would be for 3 years but before I ordered I rang Apple back and rep said I didn't need the HE uplift plan as because I was ordering online it automatically got 3 years warranty. If you google this there are alot of posts as well with people saying the same as me.

I Wish I'd of just taken the offer of £48 now as I though it was to good to be true.
