USAA is known for outstanding customer satisfaction, and its credit cards are typically light on fees, including no foreign transaction fees. These cards require USAA membership, which is available only to active and former military and their eligible family members.
You'll need at least a good credit score of 640 or higher to prequalify for USAA's credit card options.
Currently, the USAA Rate Advantage Visa Platinum Card will likely be the easiest card to be approved for since it doesn't offer rewards and it advertises a low APR rate.
USAA® Rewards™ Visa Signature® Card's Rewards
Since the highest interest rate on USAA personal loans is 17.65% and USAA accepts applicants with bad credit, they may be a cheaper option than many other lenders. ... People looking to consolidate large amounts of debt may also want to consider USAA, which offers loan amounts as high as $20,000.
The best credit card for a 550 credit score is the OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card. There's no credit check when you apply, so approval is almost guaranteed. You just need $200 for a refundable security deposit and enough income to make monthly payments.
USAA previously offered credit scores and monitoring through CreditCheck, by Experian. Experian is one of the three main credit bureaus. The service has now migrated to Experian where you can open your own free account. The credit score offered through this service is calculated on the FicoScore8 model.
To qualify for the USAA® Preferred Cash Rewards Visa Signature® Card, you'll need to be a USAA member. But not everyone is eligible to join the USAA — you have to be a current or former member of the U.S. military. Spouses and children of USAA members are also eligible.
USAA also offers a maximum credit limit of $50,000 across all of its cards. ... But you can avoid that, because USAA also increases credit limits every 12 months automatically, if you're eligible. You have the best chance for an automatic increase if you always pay your balance in full and on time.
Re: Can anyone join USAA??
The only products a non-military member can't get is auto & home insurance. Also, you can apply for a credit card with them but, it can't be their secured card because it's a pilot program and it's only given to military members but, you can apply for their regular unsecured credit cards.
A good APR for a credit card is 14% and below. That's roughly the average APR among credit card offers for people with excellent credit. And a great APR for a credit card is 0%. The right 0% credit card could help you avoid interest entirely on big-ticket purchases or reduce the cost of existing debt.
