Topic Wiki

being that they recently changed their policy about non military members , does anyone know of any other programs that would waive the underage?
thanx

CDP# 2046380 waives the underage fee.

IINM you can still become a member of USAA, but you can no longer sign up for their checking account (which everyone got because is the easiest way to prove that you're a USAA member by showing the debit card) unless you're part of the military CMIIW

Create an account, and then get a printout of your account profile. It will have your name and USAA # on it.


ETA: I mean a USAA account, not the checking account that is only for armed force members

I have had experience with them demanding to see either a debit or credit card from USAA to prove my membership. I had an email printout and even logged on the my USAA account in front of them, and they refused to rent to me. I had to open a checking account and am now able to rent with showing my debit card. Not all HLEs do this - YMMV

There is a workaround for getting an actual USAA debit card even without military proof...
Hint: who says they only send you the debit card once your checking account is actually approved .

How can you even create a checking account if you're not from the military?

You don't have to submit military proof in order to submit an application...

So your saying they will still mail me a card with my name on it, without being in the military?
Would this work if I already have an account and answered 'no' to all the questions?
As I need proof, as the location in Baltimore does not rent without proof.
I just did a one way from Park slope to Baltimore, left without an issue, but when I returned it, the guy added the $45 + 20% tax on my contract, bc I didn't have a 'proof'
But later I called the billing department, they gave it back 'this one time' and told me 'next time being proof'
I wanna get proof just to show him that I have it, as other codes anyway come out cheaper
What's your plan for yud shvat?

1) They'll mail you the card after submitting the app in which you state you have a military connection,
2) Since you'll then fail to provide military proof, they'll refund you the initial deposit and close your [half opened] account.
3) You'll have a debit card - to a dead account - which is all you need.

and then if something goes wrong with the rental, insurance can deny your claim.... Be careful

Even though I already put on my information that I don't have a connection..?

I think this can be a felony of impersonating a federal agent

It should be very easy to prove that were chabad, as long as you actually are..
But that's what it's made for

I have 2 ways of getting proof. One, if you have a friend that has a real account with usaa they could open a account with you as a secondary. Second way is if you go to this link you'll ca printable card (if I know how maybe add your name) and print it and laminate it or get it carded if you really want https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/hertzlink/?targetPage=USAA.jsp

If you are a secondary on someone's account ur a real member.don't understand why you would think insurance could give problems.
