What is the majority customer occupation that uses USAA?
Pulling the ad was a bad move. They lost thousands of loyal customers.
I started with USAA in 1987. I cancelled them after the wokeness appeared. That is 30+ years. I had no problem cutting the cord with USAA and had no problem finding suitable, cheaper and infinitely better alternatives out there. I absolutely disagree with your statement:
"If you refuse to do business with companies that are socially involved, you will quickly run out of options."
Hardly the case. You are pretty ignorant to make such a claim BTW.
I was also growing tired of their customer service and crappy loan service and ridiculous underwriting practices anyway.
We now do autos with Geico (saved like 40%). Boats with Progressive (saved 35%). Homeowners with a local company (saved 38%). Mortgage is with a local bank. <3% after a refi we did a few months ago.
We never used USAA banking or credit cards.
