Applecare+ is it pointless?

Please see this note fom the terms of AppleCare +

Under AppleCare+ for Mac, you will pay a $99 (U.S.) dollar service fee plus applicable tax for a screen-only ADH claim or an external enclosure-only ADH claim (“Tier 1 ADH Claim”) or a $299 (U.S.) dollar service fee plus applicable tax for all other ADH claims (“Tier 2 ADH Claim”).

Also note that a trackpad reapir without AppleCare + would be significantly higher than $99.

Ok..

By chance do you have an Apple Store nearby?

Check here > Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple

Whatever you do, do not take your Mac for service at a Best Buy.
