I got a bit of a surprise today...

I got my auto insurance rebate check today from GEICO. Being retired military I could use USAA but they were ~$50.00 more every six months than GEICO.

USAA is supposed to cater to military which surprised me in that they were so much higher than GEICO (~$144.00 per six months versus ~$195.00 per six months for state minimum plus uninsured motorist). Then I noticed something on the face of the rebate check that explained. GEICO actually stands for 'Government Employee Insurance COmpany'. Who would have guessed?? Yes, I just do state minimum insurance. Shoot, what else would you do for an eighteen year old car that isn't mint?

The GEICO military discount actually means a LOT! Progressive wanted ~$200.00, USAA ~$195.00 and Farm Bureau ~$205.00.

I'm with AAA (auto and homeowners), and they promised a rebate on my auto insurance coming the end of May. It looks like all the insurance companies are doing that, which is the right thing to do.

And now gasoline is the cheapest it's been in years, and we can't really drive any place!
