USAA is so strange...

ok..long story short they got burned in my BK for around $7k. I also have my insurance with them, and have since 1991.

 

Anyway..Im blacklisted from credit products from them for 7 yrs from discharge date, (thats their internal thing), after 7 years, all my past credit info is deleted from their system, and I can reapply for a card, WHICH I WILL, LOL...

 

Anyways, as part of my punishment for burning them, Im ONLY allowed "mobil access" online, and not the full online deal because it has credit offers and products on it that I cant have right now. Im also not allowed to pay my bills via mobil app, again my punishment, and have been thru my own bank with online banking.

 

Tonight I call them up to test the waters....Just non-chalantly said, "Id like to pay my bill tonight"...she says, sure! How would you like to pay? I said, My Visa, heres my number.....and SHE TOOK IT NO PROBLEM!!!  Never said one word that I couldnt , and my account is flagged for BK on their end too.

 

so, Im excited because  they WILL take a CC payment over the phone, just not online...so strange...

 

one more thing I can now put on my CC towards my 2nd spend bonusSmiley Wink

Doesn't seem to make sense....Why wouldn't they just deny you credit products on application instead?

Its a USAA thing Nixon...

 

I spent over an hour with a senior dude several months back, and once you have a BK, youre flagged in their system, and cant have access to anything, its crazy. Their "special BK IT department" handles all of that.  So, they took my CC pm tonight over the phone...but they wont allow me access to pay even with a debit card on their mobil app, that Im only allowed to have till 2020, lol

USAA is a very vengeful and hateful bird lol dare not cross them or feel their wrath!  They are known to lock out those who are late with payments, default on loans, and CC products.  They say they are military and family friendly but only until a deployment causes you to miss a few payments lol

FICO scores are your calling card to the business world. Build a negative reputation and those doors are hard to open, find that perfect balance of credit responsibility and those doors open when you desire them.
