[quote=flyer]Thanks to a family connection, we currently have USAA, and it’s fantastic for the primary, rentals and cars. Also like Amica.[/quote]
Dumb question. Are you getting some special rate above and beyond a normal USAA member? Because I’m trying to understand what you meant about “family connection” and USAA.
The only qualification needed to be able to join USAA is you or a family member or relative just needs to have served in the military, worked for the military and/or military contractor.. The terms of being a USAA or any sort special military based credit union, bank, insurance carrier is pretty loose in definition…It’s no different than my parents that worked for a Congress funded non-profit corp for the military qualifies for any credit union or insurance company setup for the military, and by virtue of being related to them, I have the same access to those banks, credit unions, and insurance companies, such as USAA and Aerospace Federal Credit Union.
By “family connection”, are you getting some special rates or treatment that normal USAA members who are somehow remotely related to the US military are not getting?
Damn, the only family connection I have is the one that allowed me onto the Miramar airbase 2 weeks ago to see the Top Gun pre-screening before the general public. I mean, I know a guy as well connected to you probably already saw the prescreening of that, but it was totally awesome seeing it at Miramar, they even had a jet right outside the theater. Best part it was free to all military and guests for the pre screening.
That was a great movie by the way. Imho better than the first one….
I would use my military connection to buy goods and services that are otherwise contraband by california, such as some types of 1 gallon paints and non-CARB exhaust systems, but I think that would be a misuse of my friendship and rather send those orders through addresses in the Presido of friends and family, lol.
