Resolved: Advance Auto Parts - Did Not Honor Battery Warranty
Update by user Mar 25, 2018
I contacted customer support and explained the issue. After hearing the situation they honored the warranty and issued a check for what I was owed. Customer support was very helpful so I will upgrade my star rating, however I do not plan to return that store.

My Gold battery recently died after just over three years of use. This particular purchase had a three year free replacement and additional two year pro-rated replacement.
It is because of this coverage that I bought this battery in the first place. Relieved that I spent a little extra for a battery with a good warranty, I headed to Advanced Auto where I presented my sales receipt to the cashier at the store, however the cashier denied any sort of warranty. The cashier was not the least bit apologetic about the refusal to honor the printed warranty.
I purchased a battery elsewhere and I will never buy a battery from Advanced Auto Parts again. I plan to file a claim to recoup my loss.
Product or Service Mentioned: Advance Auto Parts Car Battery Warranty.

Advance auto doesn't prorate ,
They have apparently stopped their prorate program. However, at the time of my purchase they had 24 month prorate.
negative, Advance has never had a 24 month pro rated warranty.
Yes they have. I have a receipt with proof of it and Advance wrote me a check for the prorate.
Advance Auto AutoCraft Batteries once carried a prorate, however, they have changed their policies many times. A simple google search could tell you that.https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2956408
