I have not used one, but you can’t get much moe reputable than USAA. Read the ads closely. Is it really UUSAA or is it someone that advertises in a USAA publication? If it is an advertiser, contact USAA and see if they have vetted the advertiser. Publishers often (almost always) accept ads without checking for truth in advertising.
