To be eligible for a USAA credit card an applicant has to be currently on active duty, serving the United States honorably, anywhere in the world, or have served honorably during any of the eligible war eras.

USAA stands for United Services Automobile Association. Per wikipedia, “USAA was founded in 1922 in San Antonio by a group of 25 U.S. Army officers as a mechanism for mutual self-insurance when they were unable to secure auto insurance because of the perception that they, as military officers, were a high-risk group. USAA has since expanded to offer banking and insurance services to past and present members of the Armed Forces, officers and enlisted, and their families.”
