Just got my $70 insurance rebate check in the mail. Two cars, one motorcycle, one toy hauler all for under a grand a year and a rebate to boot!! What a great company!!

Agreed. I just got a car insurance and renter's insurance policy through them. The car insurance was about 15% less than any other company was offering for a similar policy.

Also have a mastercard through them. Lower rates than I was able to get through any bank or credit union, no annual fee, and they give me cash back. Everything I charge and expense for work (not a frac guy, but I do a fair ammount of pilot service trips for the FBO I work for) gets put on that card and I profit from it. In the end I can look to make another 10-15% on top of my salary this year. Customer service is great too. Never on hold and their people are all english speaking americans.

I've been there 30 years. Good customer service, very good claims service, easy to communictae with, good payment plans, but you can get a better rate. I just got a letter informing me that I had to raise my auto and pleasrure boat liablity limits to keep my million dollar umbrella policy. After inquiring how much those rates would go up, my jaw fell. 500 dollars per year was the answer. You do get the subscribers savings account which has a balance of 6000 plus dollars and I just received my annual payout from that which was about 300 dollars. All an all a good company but like I said youcan find better rates.

39 years

39 years ago I was getting an ID card for my new wife. The Personnel Chief at VT-1, who was processing my paper work, asked if I was a USAA and NFCU member. I said "No", he said "You better join both they will never let this young lady down when you are overseas". He was a Chief, I was an Ensign so I took his advice and had never been disappointed. As stated above you may find better rates, but none I believe has better service USAA. So I pass along the Chief's advice, if you are a current or former service member E-4 or above or dependant, USAA is a good bet. Happy New Year to all

I'm a member of both USAA and NFCU also. I like the fact that USAA reimburses the atm fees you get charged when using other banks atms.

I don't believe USAA requires you to be affiliated with the military anymore to become a member of their bank, you do for their insurance, but not banking.

USAA and NFCU are great.

USAA reimburses up to $15 moth in ATM transaction fees, because they aren't a local bank. Also they provide postage free deposit envelopes. The downside is they aren't a local bank. But I've got DD, so it doesn't matter. Just got the dividend check too...

Good insurance and banking. Went with another company for home mortgage.

NFCU good for a ELOC.

Been a member since I was an E3. Banking, investments, and insurance. Rates beat everthing I've seen and I think Money magazine rated them #1 a couple of years ago.

They have never let me down.

I've been using USAA for over 20 years. I haven't found any cheaper Car or Homeowner's Insurance even with the 8% discount on Geico NJA Pilots get. No problems with service and I live in CLT which is not a military town. Unfortunately I've memorizied the bodyshop's phone number (my wife's car has an invisible bullseye painted on it I think). All I do is have the car dropped off over there, they do everything else.

USAA ... another fine outfit from San Antonio like the SPURS!

NFCU... not seen anyone beat their mortgage deals. Way better than VA loans.
