How do I register? When does my 16-week online membership start?

Follow these steps to register for FPU Online:

  1. Add a membership to your shopping cart.
  2. Complete your order using the standard online store checkout.
  3. A membership voucher will be emailed to you immediately.
  4. Your membership will not start until you redeem the voucher. Additionally, any materials that are included with your membership will not ship until the voucher is redeemed.

Can I give FPU online as a gift?

Yes! Buying the voucher and redeeming it are two totally separate actions. That means you can buy an FPU Online membership for someone else, and the membership will not begin until the recipient redeems the voucher. However, each voucher can only be used once!

Top

I have a lifetime membership kit. Can I attend FPU Online?

FPU Online is not included in the traditional live-class membership. However, if you are a lifetime FPU member from the traditional class, you have access to online lesson videos in the Member Resource Center (MRC). Log in to the MRC at mrc.mytotalmoneymakeover.com for details.

Top

Does FPU Online include any physical resources like books, CDs, etc?

Yes, FPU Online does include the book Financial Peace Revisited.

Top

How is FPU Online structured?

This is an entirely self-paced program, meaning you can move as quickly or slowly through the material as necessary. All members start on the first course, Super Saving and additional courses unlock as you progress through the program. However, all coursework must be completed within your 16-week membership period.

Top

What happens after my 16-week membership is over?

We encourage FPU Online graduates to continue working through the Baby Steps. We recommend you move on to Dave's My Total Money Makeover online community, where FPU Online members get a 25% discount.

What are the minimum computer requirements?

  • Javascript enabled
  • Cookies enabled
  • Flash version 9 or later (See this page to see what version of Flash you have.)

I like paper. Can I print out my online studies?

Yes! As you work through each lesson, you'll fill out a virtual workbook that corresponds with the video. However, you also have the option of downloading and printing a paper copy of each workbook section individually or the entire workbook all at once.

Will my personal information be kept confidential?

You can learn more about the safety of your personal information by checking out our Privacy Policy. FPU Online will never release any of your personal information. Everything you enter in your budget, debt snowball, or any other portion of the site will remain strictly confidential and will only be seen by people you allow to review it.

Is it safe for my payment information to go through your site?

Yes. We use cutting-edge, top-of-the-line encryption software to prevent your information from being compromised. As a comparison, our method is even more secure than giving your debit card to a waiter at a restaurant.

If you do it, it works.
If you don’t do it, it won’t work!
