How Does It Work?

Money is loaded onto your Campus card ready for Saturday morning .

Each week, you need to use your money by 11.59pm on Friday night – this is to encourage everyone to eat! You can max out your Meal Plan balance by using a debit card e.g. if an Apple is 50p and you have 42p on your Campus Card, you can pay the 8p on debit card. We will also give you the same discounts as if you are paying entirely with Meal Plan money.

Where Can I Use It?
