In a letter to members, USAA CEO Wayne Peacock announced a 10% premium credit for the months of June and July. This credit will automatically be reflected on members' accounts by the end of August. Previously, the financial services group had given members a 20% credit on their premiums for the months of March through May.

This newest round of discounts brings the total amount of dividends returned by USAA this year to $1.07 billion.
