LOL  it is funny how people are getting a lot of conflicting info on this, but to be fair I thinkthe program is being handled by a different branch of the credit card division so there is not much info floating around.  Msot of the time when you call the CSRs have never even heard of it and tell you there is no such thing.  Eventually we will all have our apps in hand and have more concrete information.

Good morning, everyone, I think we are getting the secured credit card confused with the non-secured credit card..  Bamagirl1, did you apply for the secure or non-secure card.  I spoke with USAA representative Melanie, and per my conversation with her, the credit card dept do not handle the secure credit card because it is a pilot program. However, the manager that is over the secured credit card reviewed my informaion...(NO CREDIT CHECK-I pulled my fico credit report this morning to verify) and forward me an application which I received yesterday.  It is 3 pages, I have to complete and send a check, money order, etc to be place in a CD for 2 yr (per the paperwork) and in 1 yr, they will review my account to possibly unsecure my card.

Yes, i applied approximately 3 weeks ago, i called since i did not receive my application in 7 - 10 business days per the representative.  I spoke with the credit card department who in turn transferred me to the supervisor over the secured credit card pilot program and she approved my app and sent it via mail.  It took about 3 days to reach me in GA.

 I CALLED USAA ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO REQUESTING A SECURED CC APP. I FINALLY RECEIVED IT AND COMPLETED AND FAXED. EASY APP AND I REQUESTED 1500. AS YOU ARE AWARE ITS A CD AND I REQUESTED THAT THE MONEY BE DEDUCTED FROM MY USAA CHECKING ACCT. SO I FAXED IT TODAY FRIDAY AND WILL KEEP AN EYE ON MY ACCT TO SEE WHEN THE FUNDS ARE DEDUCTED AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE CARD. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. I DONT THINK THEY DO A CREDIT CHECK BUT THE APP ASKED FOR MONTHLY GROSS INCOME AND HOUSING STATUS AND COST.

I got a hard pull for this card, but I didn't have any other products with them at the time and I'm a partial member.
