Vantage Score

[Dagn]

I was looking at the Vantage score provided on the website recently and got to wondering what the score is. I read many articles saying the score is basicaly useless in determining credit.

I want to know does USAA use this score to determine credit worthiness for loans?

Or are they advertising it and not using it either?

Exactly what is the excelent and good range if they are using it to help determine the best time to get a loan?

Any help on these questions is greatly appriciated.

The Vantage score that is offered for use by USAA members is worthless. I see this as just another way that USAA can advertise and cross sell products to drive revenue for their best interest. Having been a member for over 26 years, and remembering the GREAT service of the past, I can only say that USAA is no longer my go to financial company. USAA used to have all my business. Sadly over the last few years I have found other organizations that can provide quality products and outstanding service, and slowly have been moving away from USAA. SAD.
