People occasionally notice my USAA card, but it's more of a shibboleth for military families than for affluence.

- hbosch 10y agoI get this with my Navy Federal card. I dont have any "prestige" cards but I'd be surprised if anyone got more attention for them than I get for my standard issue NF debit.
- mrdmnd 10y agoI've noticed this too. I'm not actually in the military, but my grandfather was a doctor in the Navy and apparently we've been (literally) grandfathered in for perpetuity. The card has raised eyebrows in places I would not have imagined it would be noticed.
- jschwartzi 10y agoThat's almost exactly my situation. My dad was in the Army, so I'm grandfathered in, as well as anyone in my immediate family.
- brookside 10y agoOnly somewhat relatedly, The content of the constant ASAA ads during sporting events on TV strikes me as indirect but blatant military propaganda.
