What if your gpa is only 3.0 weighted, and that is the only gpa shown on the report card? Do i still qualify?

Just the previous semester GPA.

Is the 3.0 GPA based on cumulative GPA or previous semester GPA?

Geico has a single overarching “affiliation discount” for anyone who is a member of another organization that pushes Geico. I was a member of two organizations and the CSR told me that if you’re in one, you get the same discount (7% I think for me). Once you join and show proof of membership once, you’re never asked again.

I believe women have age barriers as well, although I was denied a discount for being in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars because I’m already in Geico’s “super-premium” something or other class. I do think it may go down when I get married in April, and then again when I turn 25, but that may only apply to men. Who knows.

According to the rules as written, it appears that a full-time married female student, who otherwise qualifies, isn’t eligible. I bet most likely it is because you can get a much bigger discount by going with the same insurer as the husband, I highly doubt it’s because they’re discriminating against female full-time married students (which is quite possibly the safest driver on the road, second only to perhaps female full-time married students with children).

I’m pretty sure that once you are a married woman you are in the lowest bracket of car insurance whereas men still have age barriers, ie reaching 25.

I am not sure if I understand. If you are full time and a married female you don’t qualify? Why is it okay to have a discount for married men and not married women?

Yeah. And #1 and #2 slow you down a bit too, huh?
