bill_schubertNo pickleball for you. I was actually just about ready to leave when I got a message saying it was raining at the courts. So I'm now tanked up with protein and carbs and watching the rain drinking my coffee.
For some reason we got a deposit from Dana's social security for $486. No idea why. I logged onto her account and nothing is mentioned and her next payment is listed correctly. Logged onto mine to be sure. Nothing. My guess is that the universe is paying me back for the $500 that USAA lost. The funny thing is that SoFI, my new bank, saw it as an ACH deposit and kicked me up to PLUS level which has benefits including 3.08% interest on savings. I put the $486 in there where it will do the most good and be ready should anyone ever decide they want it back.
I've still got two income sources to get out of USAA. Both are about oil money of Dana's. For one of them I need the SoFi checks so I can send in a voided one. My 25 free checks should be coming soon. The other oil change needs Dana and me in the same place with her phone. They use her driver's license and a live view of her on her phone to verify ID before they will make a change. It is kind of annoying but we just need to do it. Then I wait for July's pension payment and probablly through August to be sure nothing else drops in, that I've accounted for everything. So I'll likely close it end of August. My insurance will cancel with them on the 14th of June so the bank will be all that's left.
All in all it was a PIA to change but it will end up making us more money and, really, my opinion of them is colored by history, not by the current company which has sadly become an old school crappy insurance company and crappy bank.
