Officially yes... before attempting to sign up, I joined the Financial Fitness Association for $8. However, when I went to first Tech to actually sign up, one of the step asked me for how I was eligible for the Credit union. It gave me two choices....Being related to an existing member, or join the Computer Science (or some such) museum. For expediency sake, I chose the museum option figuring someone may call me to verify later. Nobody ever called to verify, they just signed me up, so who knows. Perhaps they saw my eligibility behind the scenes. Worst case, the Computer museum membership is like $15, which is also worth it in time saved.
Either way it went quick. What took forever was waiting for the card to actually be delivered.
