49er Account

Composed of two parts: Meals and Declining Balance.  Meals may be used at either the Resident Dining Hall (RDH) or Crossroads Cafe.  Declining balance may be used at any dining venue on campus including the Ritazza Cafes, dining halls, arena concessions, and at any of the three Outtakes Convenience stores.  Declining balance is not accepted in the Campus Bookstore. May be used at any place on campus that accepts declining balance.  This account is a great as a supplement or alternative to a meal plan as it saves the 8.25% sales tax that is charged if you pay for food on campus using cash, credit, or 49er Account.  You can deposit funds to this account at any time. This account is the most versatile account on your 49er Card.  It can be used in Vending Machines, Laundry Facilities, Copiers,  the Campus Bookstore, and any Dining Facilities on campus.  However, all purchases made with the 49er account are subject to sales tax.  You can deposit funds to this account at any time.
