It's their call, and it gets you the guaranteed service faster. They'll replace from stock, but send out for cleaning. Jon

Do not let CC touch your camera in any way ! You might as well let someone at Burger King help you out. Get a refund on the service plan at CC. Use Canon's standard warranty. It should cost you around 40 bucks to get it cleaned at a local shop. Good Luck ! Canon 40D, 5D MK II

Hard to see how they make money if the solution for a dirty sensor is replace the camera.

You do not want their customer care cleaning your camera. Ask for your extended warranty money back. You can clean it if it needs cleaning. There is plenty of help and the proper cleaning kits on the web. CC has no clue about cleaning your sensor and will probably mess your camera up.
