Flex Cash, ReDD, & Wildcat Dollars

Flex Cash

Flex Cash can be used at the two on-campus coffee shops, two on-campus convenience stores or the food-court style eatery called the Marketplace in the BMU. Flex cash comes with your residential meal plan.  Any unused Flex Cash at the end of the fall term rollover to the spring term.  Unused Flex Cash does expire at the end of the academic year.

Campus Coffee Shops & Convenience Stores

ReDD

After your Flex cash has been spent, Associated Students Dining Services offers a Retail Dining Dollar program (ReDD) that can be placed on a student's Wildcat card and can be used at the two on-campus coffee shops, two on-campus convenience stores, or the food-court style eatery called the Marketplace in the BMU.

Unlike Flex cash, ReDD does not expire at the end of the academic year and rolls forward for as long as you are a student. For details about ReDD, please contact Associated Students Dining Services at 530-898-5962.

Wildcat Dollars

In addition to ReDD, you can also purchase Wildcat dollars. Wildcat dollars can be used in locations where ReDD is accepted as well as the bookstore, the stockrooms, and the labs. Parents and relatives can purchase the Wildcat dollars for you.
