I have to add:

The other day I got a call from MCI saying they had a special deal for
me.  I told them I had a special rate thru Sprint with my insurance
company.  The woman thought for a moment and turned some pages, and then
said "Through USAA right?", I said yes and she hung up the phone.

For once I like my insurance company.
