Full name
"Full name: Progressive Mutual Insurance Company", where's that from? The latest 10-Q say "THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION", "Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter" . - Jerryseinfeld 23:34, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I work for an independant insurance agency that carries Progressive, as well as several other auto insurance companies. Progressive has several "underwriting companies", which as I understand it are different risk groups categorized. They include Progressive Mutual, Progressive Preferred, Progressive Northern, Progressive Northwestern, Progressive Western, etc. These are in practice transparent to the consumer / insureds as well as the agency, the head office, and the claims people, so one could say "I'm insured with Progressive" and be perfectly accurate.
In the fine print in their commercials where I am it says they're called "Progressive Halcyon Insurance Company" - which i remembered because it struck me as an odd name - maybe the product of a merger? --Random|] 12:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
-- Progressive Halcyon was the main company until the DOI allowed the name change to Progresive Direct.Random.Employee
This only applies to the Direct Channel. The umbrella corporation remains Halcyon.

Criticism
The section has been removed. Per Wikipedia's POV and weasel words policies, it will have to be rewritten ("compliants by 'many' customers" etc.). The comments regarding Progressive's claims service and rate structure will have to be backed up by solid, statistical edidence. While it is legitimate to have criticism of any company listed, it needs to be objectively backed up and not written to sound like a rant from a disgruntled customer. When it comes to living persons or active corporations, Wikipedia needs to avoid being exposed to demaging litigation. For example of this, review the edits to State Farm Insurance's response to Hurricane Katrina claims. Even though there was extensive coverage of the lawsuit filed against State Farm, it is not mentioned in the article.THD3 12:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The comments regarding Peter Lewis' political contributions would be better suited to the Peter Lewis article. Lewis has retired as CEO at Progressive and is Chairman of the board. Progressive has no control over Lewis' political contributions. Also, the comment that many people have dropped their Progressive policies because of Lewis' contributions is anecdotal. It could just as easily be said that people have purchased Progressive policies because of Lewis. If certain individuals (like Bill O'reilly) are advising people to cancel Progressive policies because of Lewis it seems to have backfired, judging by company growth.THD3 12:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Spying On Their Own Customers
This is an event in progress, but I believe it should be added to the article as it is relevant to their business practices: Progressive now says its spying was 'reasonable', The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 10/17/2007 Shawn D. 01:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Advertising?
The whole section "Concierge Level of Claims Service" reads like advertising to me. I don't think it's important to the article to list exactly how the various services are carried out, and the particular wording of this section seems to put a very positive spin on things, and is therefore unencyclopedic. If anyone disagrees, please say so, but if not I plan to delete this section within the next few days. --Mediocre (talk) 22:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Political contributions of Peter Lewis
I checked the articles of several comparable companies, including GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, AIG, Nationwide and Liberty Mutual. None of them refer to political contributions made by CEOs, board members, or board chairmen. I also checked several other non-comparable companies like Target, and they have no such listing. The only company in my search that listed political contributions was Outback Steakhouse, which apparently has its own PAC. Outback is hardly comparable to an auto insurance company.
Contributions by Peter B. Lewis should go in his bio article. His contributions are not relevant to the Progressive article because: 1) He is no longer CEO; 2) He is the non-executive Chairman of the Board and as such has no control over the day-to-day operation of the company. I am therefore removing the information about Lewis' contributions from the Progressive article.
I am also moving the information about the Beck controversy to the advertising section.THD3 (talk) 12:
