Well it depends on how lucky you can get right now Scrappy. I joined USAA as a civilian, so I don't have a member ID card. Those cards are only given to former military and government employees. You can also use your proof of insurance or loan docs for the discount, but you can't have either of those products with USAA if you are joining as a civilian. Unfortunately, the requirements aren't made by the dealers its GM. GM gives them the money as rebate for discounting us. My guess is that so many people used the discount last year, that GM has established this cutoff.
Now if you get lucky your dealer might not know this and will give you the discount or your dealer is willing to eat it come GM audit time and gives you the discount anyway. Currently I am SOL, because my dealer knows whats required, he's trying to see if I can still use my profile page, but chances are slim.
You can read the discussion between me and Anna in the February Incentives thread.
Good luck to you!
