I have wanted to get a USAA card for a long time but apparently they will not accept general applications any longer. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this brick wall?

Wish I could help you here ... my in-laws were/are Army and Navy World War II vets so that's the only reason my husband and I became eligible to become USAA members.

On top of all the (good) points others have made - here is another. Someone with poor credit is more likely to be financially stretched, and thus more likely to make a claim if they have a fender bender. It doesn't make sense financially to make a claim for a couple of hundred bucks (you'll pay more in premiums in the future) - but someone who is stretched may not have the luxury of taking the long view.

someone who is financially stretched may also not be intelligent enough to make any rationale decisions.
