Are you unsure what the difference is between your Dining Dollars and Bulldog Bucks?  Let me explain.

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are funds that are a part of your meal plan.  They are intended for on-campus dining.  You can use these funds at the Olmsted Starbucks, Hubbell Dining Hall, OnTheGo Convenience Store, the Library Cafe, or at Concessions in the Knapp Center.

Dining Dollars are loaded at the start of the semester, and will carry forward to the end of the Spring semester.  You’ll want to use these funds before you leave for home in the summer.

Bulldog Bucks

Bulldog Bucks are an optional account, also on your ID, that you (or your family) load as desired.  These funds carry forward from year to year until you leave Drake, and can be used both on and off campus.

Bulldog Bucks can be used for any on campus dining location (listed above), and can also be used at the Drake Bookstore, at campus printers, at participating off campus locations, and on the GrubHub app.

GrubHub Snacks and Giveaways Tomorrow!

GrubHub is providing an afternoon snack and some fun giveaways in the Olmsted Breezeway tomorrow, February 18, over the lunch hour, so feel free to swing by to grab a treat, and enter for a chance to win prizes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Funds can be added online in the myDrake portal, or at www.acceptinglocations.com/drake.  You can also see the participating off campus merchants at this link.  Please note that the off campus merchants cannot take your Dining Dollars, they can only take Bulldog Bucks.

If you have any questions about your Dining Dollars or meal plan, feel free to contact dining@drake.edu.  If you have any questions about your Bulldog Bucks account, feel free to contact studentservices@drake.edu.
