How can I join USAA?

[Anonymous]

I wanted to join the USAA but I'm in no way affiliated with the military. How can I join?

You dont have to be affilited with the millitary to get the membership. Its just that you'll only miss out on certain insurance products and stuff :-)

So I can get their credit cards and other banking products???

Yes you can.

So does NFCU do the same?

[Anonymous]

U can use a backdoor to NFCU i.e through USAFed. There used to be a detailed thread on this topic too; use the the Search Luke..

I tried http://www.usafed.org/ but it just directs me to NFCU. Am I too late?

Then you'll probably have to wait for other forum members to assist you. I'm afraid I cant help you further :-(

Unfortunately yes,  you are too late.

It was really easy for me to sign up w/ USAA for a checking account (non-full member).  About 5 minutes after starting the process I had the account number in front of me and the account had funds pending.  

As for NFCU, USA Fed was a great way for people that otherwise wouldn't qualify to get in.  I really hate that I missed out on that boat, I didn't start to read these forums on a daily basis until Nov lol.  I do believe I've found a way in to Navy via my sister-in-law's boyfriend but I won't know until the end of the week after his application has been processed!
