Quick answer: for Joining USAA (membership eligibility), call USAA at 1-800-531-8722, then say “join USAA”, then say “auto insurance”. When we called on Oct 29, 2026, a real person answered in about 7 min. This is the route we tested; for anything else, choose the menu option that matches your issue.
Every option we heard when we called on Oct 29, 2026. Say “join USAA”, not “become a member” or “something else”: in our test those sent the call to Trove Group, a health insurance partner, and its option 4 restarted the whole menu. On the try that worked, the system chose auto insurance for us and put us through to membership eligibility. Press # to reach an extension.

How we tested this
When: Oct 29, 2026
Calls: 1 test calls
How: OsmO’s AI made real calls to 1-800-531-8722 from United States phone numbers, listened to each menu and explored the options it could safely try. It did not press options that could change an account, so not every option was explored; the menu marks what we did not test. Nothing was typed except test values.
