  Reviews and raves about MTAB programs and services
"I have had my car insurance through MTA Benefits for more than five years and it has been great. The rates are excellent because the large number of members creates a strong negotiating position. I also trust MTAB – I know it would only partner with a good insurance company."
“When it was time to renew my auto and homeowners insurance, I decided to take a look at MTA Benefits to see how much they could save me. The combined savings with the two policies is $147 a year. That’s like a raise for me.”
"When my auto insurance came up for renewal, I turned to MTA Benefits. I liked the fact that they offered a significant discount for members and that they provided excellent service. In addition to using MTAB to get auto insurance savings, I've received discounts or free admission at museums, historic homes and other places listed in the Discount Directory. When the directory comes, I look first at places that especially interest me, then go through the whole book to see where else I can save. MTA Benefits is an immensely important resource for new members – if they don't take advantage of the savings, they lose them. Also, the more members who use MTA Benefits, the more negotiating power we have as a group."
"MTAB has provided me with great savings – a couple of hundred dollars a year on both my auto and home insurance. I also use MTAB's Discount Directory to reduce costs on museum admission fees, travel, shopping and other things. The first thing I do when I get the directory is to look through it to find out all the ways I can save."
‘I’ve used the automobile insurance from MTA Benefits for about 25 years. It was less expensive and I received the multiple car discount which increased my savings. The service also is excellent – MTAB took care of everything for me when my car was damaged by another vehicle.”
“The fact that I actually could get a quick quote was amazing.”
“We’ve had homeowners insurance through MTA Benefits for about four years. When there is any problem, I call them and they take care of it right away.”
Tax Sheltered Annuity
"I feel that MTAB’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Program is a very important benefit for members. They should prepare for their retirement beyond relying on their pensions – the TSA program allows them to put away pre-tax dollars for this purpose."
"The three percent transfer bonus is a major incentive for signing up. Another is the guaranteed minimum income benefit – that allows me to be more aggressive in my investments."
"The MetLife representative who handles my tax-sheltered annuity program is exceptional in terms of financial advice. He has a very sound approach that is based on diversity, asset allocation and dollar cost averaging, allowing me to maintain balance in a volatile economic climate. He is considerate of my time, coming to my home for meetings which is very convenient for me. I feel confident that with this TSA program my wife and I will be financially comfortable when I retire in about 20 years."
“My husband, Michael, and I have different risk tolerances and investment preferences. We meet separately once or twice a year at our home with an MTA/TSA financial counselor to discuss our individual accounts and investment strategies. Our advisor is very involved with our accounts, pointing out where we are in terms of our objectives and what options are available to us.”
“New or young teachers don’t enter the profession thinking about retirement. Unless a colleague or mentor mentions it, the idea is not likely to cross their minds. Fortunately, MTAB is making our newest and youngest members aware of its tax-sheltered savings program. They can – and should – take advantage of this and other MTAB programs.”
“We’ve created a payroll slot in our district for the TSA program. I was very impressed with the program; it gives members significant tax savings and the incentive to save for their retirement. MTA Benefits offers excellent programs as well as being very helpful and supportive, providing whatever is needed for members. This kind of service is another reason I wanted the program introduced in our district.”
Home Mortgage Program
"The service was the best! They actually made me enjoy the experience. It is important for folks to be sure they are comfortable with their mortgage company, especially as a first-time buyer. We were very lucky to learn about Greenpark."
"We saw a condo that we wanted to look at, but we hadn't been pre-approved. At 9 p.m. that night, we called Greenpark and Matt answered. He arranged for a pre-approval letter to arrive the next morning so we could immediately put in the offer. As a result, we were able to get the condo. Matt was kind, honest and upfront about things. He did a wonderful job for us and I would use him again for refinancing in the future."
"I would highly recommend Greenpark to other MTA members. Greenpark was amazing."
"We felt that the time devoted personally to us by Greenpark far exceeded our hopes and expectations. I recommend with enthusiasm and without hesitation that my colleagues also contact Greenpark for their future home purchases."
Life Insurance
"This was the best deal – I was surprised that the cost was so reasonable," she said. “It was also so simple. All I had to do was fill out the form, mail it in and the policy was mailed back to me in 14 days."
"I will pay only $8 a month for $100,000 in coverage."
Disability Program
“We felt that disability insurance was a program our members could use – it offers a safety net. We compared various programs and found rates were much better through MTA Benefits.”
” I feel pleased with the service and security provided when we recently implemented the MTA Disability Income Program."
Discount Directory
"I use the Discount Directory often – especially for Boston’s Museum of Science where I get free admission. It’s great that MTA Benefits offers the opportunity to get discounts at so many different places."
"I have fallen in love with Choice Hotels, which we discovered through the MTAB Travel Program. We stayed at a Quality Inn in Georgia and a Comfort Inn in New York. Both gave us a wonderful discount and featured exceptional accommodations and service. We also have enjoyed MTA discounts at Plimoth Plantation, the New England Aquarium and other favorite places of ours that are listed in the Discount Directory."
"It’s very nice to get free admission to the EcoTarium and the Higgins Armory as well as significant discounts to other places I enjoy visiting. I continually look for ways to save with the Discount Directory ."
"I use my card to get discounts at such places as the Museum of Science, the Plimoth Plantation and Borders."
