Does anyone know when Cadets become eligible to use USAA and the proper way about going to set up everything with them as a Cadet? Thank you
Once you are accepted. "USMA cadet" is a selection on their site for your military position. They will ask you to submit proof of military service which is a copy of your USMA acceptance letter. You can upload this right on their site.

My DS was able to open a USAA account at a NC USAA branch as a "Cadet" candidate. They also printed out the 1199A. However, he did have to make a deposit. But I also heard you can call 1-800-531-8722, let the phone Representative know you are a Cadet appointee, you will need to upload your id and other pertinent information from your computer. (info originally posted by Capt MJ) And by phone, you were not asked to make a deposit at that time. My DS used his ATM card to make initial deposit. Also, we were able to open a joint account, separate from Cadet account, that helps with transferring money if needed and I'm eligible for USAA benefits too.[emoji4] Great Service, I hope you get the same.

I just spoke to a CC yesterday who is having trouble getting USAA to recognize him as eligible for membership. This is the first time I've run across this. They've been super easy to work with, so I was surprised to hear this. Sounds like AirsoftRanger ran across the same thing. Anyone else having similar issues?
My DS won't turn 18 until August. USAA allowed DS (we were on speaker phone with him) to set up a 'New Recruit' account last Friday. He had to upload all the previous mentioned documents, DL, appointment letter and such and needs to wait a couple business days to verify it all. They even linked his new checking account with his savings so he can do all his banking needs through the phone app.If you're not yet 18, you'll need to create a joint account with a parent. This is what happened with my DD. When she turns 18 in August she can go out on her own.
Strange. They would not do that for us. DH is a federal employee and has had his USAA account for a long time but they would not sign up DD on her own. I'll have to call them again. DD does not want to be tied to us!
