Anyone use USAA?
« on: February 04, 2010, 10:16:09 AM »
Just wondering how people like this company. I just got off the phone with a representive and she explained everything, was really great service. I know my dad told me they are good with military/ex-military folks and so far he is right. Anyone had any problems/concerns with using them for banking/insurance/loans?

Thanks in advance :salute

I have been using it for years, Every once in a while I'll call other big ins providers and check there prices against USAA and they have never been cheaper USAA. Also I have not go a ticket of any kind scene 1984. I have been with them about 10 years now.

I have had it for years. Have had a mortgage through them, a home owners loan, credit car, and auto insurance. They have been great on all accounts.

Plus, in regards to the credit card they are not like a bank and are not looking for any reason under the sun to jack your interest rate to 29%. I think my current is 10% on my card through them. Citibank tried to jack my rate from 12% to 29% for some BS reason but I caught the letter in the mail they sent and opted out and closed that card.

I can insure two cars with them for the price of one car with any other company. The service is top notch.

I priced them last year.  The car insurance was cheaper but the house was twice as much.  Overall, a strong reputation and good value but do some research.

Luckily the Army pays for housing :D , I have done some research with state farm and all state its about 50$ a month cheaper with USAA for me(I know it all depends on the person)

Thanks for the remarks, seems like they are very good. The rep. did tell me the more I use with them the cheaper everything will get because they like the partnership which is something I really liked.

In R/L i am a property insurance adjuster handling claims up to $450,000k, but prior to that, i worked for a company that did nothing but investigate and estimate damages and losses  for 30+ insurance companys. We would  do this for homes that had insd losses from fires, floods,hurricanes,tornados etc ). Of all the companys ive done this for, ( present employer included ) I have found USAA to be in the top 3 of companys that i would insure my home with.  Good company.

If there half as good with their auto policys as they are with there homeowners  policys, i'd say that they are a safe bet.


Fyi, look into them for insurance on your home when u and ( the future ) Mrs JunkyII decide to buy a house and squirt out the little ones.  :D

The Army pays for our housing too  :D

USAA is a good option for you given active duty. They are used to the different nature of active duty military.

Do not hesitate to do business with them, and then, after you are a customer, never leave.

Absolute first class, always one of the highest rated companies anywhere. Have had home and car insurance with USAA for more than 40 years. Also checking and savings accounts.

Been with them since '88.

No complaints.

Top notch service for me over the years.

I'm glad they opened up to all veterans recently. That should make things even better.
