My sister is retired military and absolutely LOVES USAA. She's tried to get me in, but can't because I'm "just a sister". The only way I can get anything but a checking account with them is if my dad signs up for them, since he was in the military ages ago. Then I could get it through him. Unfortunately, his health is not so good, and it's just not a priority to go through the trouble of getting signed up (finding the necessary stuff to do so, since it was so long ago). So I'm outta luck. Which stinks. :(
Hopefully they will open it up a little more down the road and let brothers and sisters in as well, and not just kids.
