Interesting. USAA's price was horrible the last time I bought

life insurance. Found a policy through Select Quote that was less than half what USAA wanted to charge.

I love USAA as a bank. I have my auto insurance through them, but I've never filed a claim other than for roadside assistance before...although they are consistently rated very highly by independent services. I've had two homeowner's claims with them that were "ok." They paid promptly and fairly, but for some reason finding contractors and coordinating schedules to get the repairs done was my problem instead of theirs.

But I've looked into USAA for investments and life insurance before and came away spectacularly underwhelmed.
