We Heart Our Bank

We bank with USAA.com (rated #1 in customer service) and have just fallen in love! We used them to book our cruise last year and they were amazing and helpful, not to mention the best deal we could find. They completely refund our ATM fees, so we can withdraw from any ATM in the world without a fee. The list of things we love about them goes on and on...

Anway...last night Brendon checked our mail at like 10:00 at night (we were both exhausted from a long day at work) and he opens a piece of junk mail about car insurance with a promise for great rates. So at 10:00 at night he calls them up and spends half an hour on the phone (I find these kinds of phone calls torturous!) and then ends the phone call with a big smile on his face and says, "I knew it! We're getting a better deal with USAA!" At first I was confused...I thought he had been on the phone to find better rates on car insurance...but lo and behold he had spent half an hour of his precious free time answering dumb questions just to reassure himself that he is getting the best deal possible, not expecting them to have better rates that would convert him. I just couldn't believe it! He really is the king of comparison shoppers.

This was cracking me up because we have USAA Car Insurance, credit card, house insurance, etc. and we LOVE them. I love the checks they always send back to us since they are a nonprofit! Love it. And it's totally exclusive and that makes other people jealous!

It always amazed me the way that Brendan would get the best deals. He has such patience for things. What a great couple you are!!!

What, you're ticked? I'm ticked that you didn't call us! You should have been able to feel the presence of the dirty turd! Actually, I kept telling Kara that you lived there and we should have called home for your #. We'll be making another trip while we're here. We're glad to know you have a blog too, now we'll always know what you're up to....

We have USAA Banking, and Car Insurance and pretty much everything through them, we just switched back to their car insurance and it was 200 dollars less than we were paying with Progressive. They are pretty cool.
