Q: If a person has a USAA Credit Card, can I give my reward points to him/her?

Yes, there is that option. You can give your reward points to another person by calling USAA’s Rewards Service Center at 1-800-980-USAA (8722). What you need to know is that you will be asked to provide certain identifying information about the person to whom you want to transfer the points.

The USAA membership, as well as the card, is available to active and former military and their family members, which means that the card is designed only for them.

Q: What are the Special Benefits of this card?

The special benefits of this card are available only to the members of the USAA who get access to very good rates and rewards. The cardholders get 4% APR on all balances for up to 12 months during deployment or PCS. When those 12 months pass, the regular APR is from 11.15% to 27.15%. they also get the special 4% SCRA rate, meaning that when you have a balance on your account at the time you enter active military duty, you will get 4% APR on that existing balance until one year after you complete active duty.
