If I remember correctly, back when I signed up you could only use $50 of your FPV toward your kit purchase. Does that still apply?

I am on the verge of my first recruit and am still quite new myself. Just want to make sure I do everything right!
 
I believe you can apply $20 or $40 of your free product value towards your kit... :)ETA:
As a host, you can become a Consultant for even
less by applying a portion of your Free Product Value
toward the purchase of a New Consultant Kit!
• $155 Kit Price - $20 Kit Credit = Only $135!
(Item #5227)
• $155 Kit Price - $40 Kit Credit = Only $115!
(Item #5228)

You can use $20 or $40. What you are probably thinking of is the cost of the kit after using the max amount of kit credit - the kit used to be $90. There are two product numbers that are available for the two amounts.
 
I let potential recruits now about this, but I personally recommend using the $20 or $40 towards other products NOT in the kit so you have more to show as a consultant.

You are welcome!! I have always promoted it this way. As we can see from the new consultants on CS, they want more than what is in their kit. A great way for our recruits to get more is to use all of the FPV towards items NOT in the kit that they still want. The only time I promote the $20 or $40 kit credit is if they have tons of PC and are short on cash. Otherwise, I always recommend they pay the full kit price and use the FPV for more products.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FPV and how does it relate to my first kit purchase?

FPV stands for "First Purchase Value." It refers to the $50 credit you can use towards your first kit purchase when you join Pampered Chef. This credit is designed to help new consultants get started with essential products at a reduced cost.

How do I apply the $50 FPV towards my kit purchase?

When you place your order for your first kit, the $50 FPV will automatically be applied at checkout. Make sure to select the kit you want, and the discount will be reflected in your total before you finalize your purchase.

Can I use the $50 FPV on any kit or product?

The $50 FPV can be used towards your first kit purchase, which includes various starter kits offered by Pampered Chef. However, it cannot be used on individual products outside of the kit options available at the time of your enrollment.

What happens if my kit purchase is less than $50?

If your kit purchase is less than $50, the remaining balance of the FPV will not carry over to future purchases. It is a one-time credit that must be used in full towards your first kit purchase.

Is there a time limit to use my $50 FPV?

Yes, the $50 FPV must be used within a specific timeframe after you join Pampered Chef. Typically, you will have a limited period, such as 30 days, to make your first kit purchase using the FPV. Be sure to check the details provided during your enrollment for the exact timeframe.
