If you have an existing insurance with Geico or planning an insurance with GEICO, this will help you. Also you need to have a brokerage account to buy the shares into. If you already have both Geico and also own some shares of BRK.B / BRK.A call Geico and ask for "Berkshire Affiliation Discount". If you have other affiliation discounts, then this doesn't apply.
1. Buy One or more shares of BRK.B into your brokerage account. This is the stock you need to buy to get discount

2. Call GEICO customer care 1-800-861-8380 and inform them that you are a share holder of Berkshire Hataway and you want to add affiliation discount program to your account.
They do not check if you really own the shares. Also they won't ask how many shares you own. So buying just one or two will be ok. Also once you are in the discount program you can sell the shares.
For the people who are wondering why GEICO give you discount for owning a stock of Berkshire,
Berkshire is a Holding company headed by Warren Buffet and owns mejority of Geico Insurance Company.

Asked proof. Then sent to them Then they said there is no discount available now. Very tricky! Going to switch to another insurance company this year.
Based on the document that you submitted, we have updated the policy to show that you are a shareholder. However, at this time, we do not offer a discount for being a shareholder in the state of Massachusetts. For this reason, the discount would not apply. We have not removed the membership in the National Geographic Society, so your policy is still receiving the Sponsored Marketing discount.
If the policy does become eligible for an additional discount in the future because you are a shareholder, the policy will automatically be updated for you since we have the information on file.
This is evidently worth $5.

My mothers auto insurance was sky rocketing, so i was tasked to find her a cheaper rate. I always avoided Geico, even for my own personal insurance cause I felt their commercials were gimmicky. Well, after getting quotes from 6 different insurance carriers, I tried Geico, and they were $800 freaking cheaper than the lowest quote.
Damn, was I pissed I never took Geico up from the beginning. My mother has had them for two years now, so far so good. Her liablity coverage is the same from her previous insurer, plus for like an extra $10 she gets roadside service included with the policy.
Check them out if you haven't, though you might get pissed if the savings is significant, since that's money you over paid for years. I figure my mother overpaid $8K in the past ten years by not going with Geico. That could have paid for half of a freaking new car. Free market capitalism kinda sucks in this way if you don't catch on to a good deal.
They are only allowed to print final copy, double sided. If they find single sided prints, or drafts/non-final version, people get in trouble.
You can not make a personal phone call using work phone, or even take a cell phone call while on the clock.
You can not use work computer to do personal stuff, even on your break.
They are constantly monitored by managers as to what they are doing, and if they need to be more efficient.
It really is like GULAG.
