Usaa

[ghostrider64]

Been with USAA since '80 and have always tried to go with them. Hell who else gives an insurance dividend check every year? Just applied for a home loan with them. Not the best rate but their closing costs are half what a local lender expected.

Only thing they couldnt beat was Progressives Motorcycle insurance.

Considering using them as my bank as well. Tired of Wasington Mutual hitting me with fees for atms that arent theirs.

USAA member here also....no complaints......do not bank with them since I prefer the ability to "walk-in" to a branch if need be (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc) but everything else has been top-notch

Same here, I use BOA because of local branches but all my insurance is with USAA. I do have their Mastercard. They gave me a really good deal on balance xfers a year or so ago. 1.9% APR until the balance is paid off. No xfer fees either. I got them to substantially raise my credit limit then moved everything I could over until I maxed out the new limit. You can't beat 1.9%, not even with tax deductible debt like a 2nd Mortgage.

Mates,

I've been with USAA since 1971, it was USAA Casualty Insurance Company (CIC) that insured folks that were dependents then. Heck, my member i.d. number is only 5 digits and starts with a "1".

I bank with them, I insure my cars, my house and my general liability. I have an investment account there and have never had a cross word with them. Not a problem in, what, 34 years?

I don't fly for a FRAC, but if you can get into USAA ... do it. You'll never look back.

Usaa is great as a bank and insurance company. Horrible mortage company. Almost lost the house because of their lack of customer service. Was really surprised because I love the other parts of their company. Asked around and seven others have had similar situations with USAA mortage, be it buying or selling. NFCU meets or beats their rates and is much better. Not a peep against their bank or insurance.

I became eligible for USAA because of my dad's military service. When I signed on for my own policy they were more expensive at first (Sports Car and a SUV).

However, they ran the rates when I was to turn 25 and they beat everybody else. So, I stuck it out because I have heard such amazing things about USAA.

Now I am 26 and still won't switch. My SUV had it's paint chipped bad because of super high winds from a tornado (what killed the customs building in laredo) and it was like two years later after I filed the claim when I had the work done. No questions ask despite the considerable time that lapsed.

I also have their renters insurance and am very happy with that.

Also, anybody have any info on their flight department? Searching turned up nothing intresting.

I saw a G4 in ORF a few days ago that was theirs.
