usaa auto insurance cards

USAA offering discount on insurance based on what services you currently have…?
I currently have a checking account and an auto insurance policy with USAA. They offer a discount on insurance based on what and how many products and services you have with them, therefore, I am thinking about opening a credit card with them (I do not plan on using it).
I currently have an AMEX with a $6,000 limit and currently have a balance of $2000
I also have a Capital One Visa with a $500 limit and have a balance of $300.
My credit score is 705.
I already have 2 other checking accounts (Wachovia & ING) and another higher interest savings with ING, so I don’t want any more banking services…and I don’t plan on making any major purchases for another year or so (buying a house).
Will it bring my score down considering the new inquiry and new card? Is it worth it to open a card and save a couple bucks on car insurance, or should I just leave it be?
I don’t think it will. Your credit score is based on just that, credit, now how many cards you have (by the way, nice credit score.) You won’t have much problem taking out loans if you need to. lol You may have to check the minimum (if there is one) to make sure you really want that card. Some you have to pay the minimum just to have it, regardless if you use it or not. I would suggest leaving it be. Not to say another card may affect you in the future, but you may not want another “debt” hanging over you. There’s a reason they give discounts to “loyal” customers, to get them to do exactly what you are thinking about doing. Good luck.
Oh, by the way, you may want to check out Amtrust Direct. They offer a little higher interest than ING. Theirs is 3.25%. I wish the feds would stop cutting interest rates. That really hurts savings vehicles.
