USAA changing eligibility requirements

[jackg]

I just spoke with "Jen" @ cust. srvc. about eligibility requirements and she told me that before the end of 2009 they will open up membership to all past service members who served honorably. They may require DD214 as proof but it's not certain. We will be offered all their products including credit cards which include a co-branded AMEX. They do not pull your credit report when you apply for membership.

Thanks for the info Jack. I haven't gotten a new CC in 5 years but it's good to keep options open.

Semper Fi!!!

The question with USAA is what kind of membership? The full one with the right to purchase insurance products or a more limited one?

This is of potential interest to me as my father is a twice discharged veteran (USN). If he becomes eligible for membership I may too.

You never know, but my guess would be full membership.  They've already pretty much opened their banking products to anybody, so unless they create a special hybrid category, you should be able to get full membership.

USAA and/or NFCU are all I need. I already have prime to prime+ credit and some nice CL's. I would be all set then. I am not app'ing for anything at the current time. It would be great if I am keeping my powder dry for a excellent reason (as well as building age)!

I am not so sure that I will. I think I will only have access to all products if my father (who is the twice discharged veteran) joins and becomes an insurance policy holder. That is based on my reading of the current membership reg's if minimally extended to allow him membership privileges. Whether he would be a policy holder or not does seem to make a difference.
