Unintentional USAA...

yes all the children get usaa member numbers when parents sign up.

Automatically?

That could explain it, then- I don't remember my mother ever mentioning USAA- her (and mine, when I started driving) car insurance was through Allstate.  Why, if she was a USAA member, I don't know...

Oh- I just got a Scorewatch alert- dated 3/31!  So, no telling when I might get the alert for either inquiry or new account...

Maybe active duty families receive numbers automatically for their kids, but I had to add each of my three. DH had had a number from back when we had car insurance in 1980 (both of us had forgotten this entirely.)

On the other hand, they seem to have changed their policies umpty-diddle times since I've been with them.

I had to add my siblings for my parents on to their accounts as well...we created "legacies" for them as USAA calls it.

so it looks like the only way to get in is if you have a parent who is a member or are in the military yourself? 

bummer... 

my brother is a member via his wife and a couple of generations...  he loves it and raves about it...

I don't think it's automatic. My mom had to add my brother and I (she did when we were kids... I didn't even know until later in life). And I just recently added my son.

yes all active duty members children get numbers right away...

When we signed up for the First time they asked us our kids dob ss #s and then they were added to our accounts but that was like 10 yrs ago ...

The USAA inquiry just showed up on EQ.

The account hasn't showed up yet, though...
