An exciting addition to the Bulldog Bucks program has launched—you can now spend your Bulldog Bucks at participating businesses in the Drake neighborhood. View a list of participating businesses.

Drake ID cardholders will have the option to use their Bulldog Bucks account as a payment method at accepting locations. Please note: Bulldog Bucks cannot be used on tobacco, alcohol, or gift cards. We hope this new initiative will allow you to support some great local businesses. 

As a reminder, Bulldog Bucks are an account on your ID card that can be loaded with funds by either students or guests through an online portal.  These funds are separate from your meal plan flex dollars, and they carry forward from semester to semester as long as you have an active Drake ID card.  In addition to this new off-campus program, facilitated by CampusCash, funds can also be spent in the University Bookstore, at Drake Dining food and vending locations, and for campus printing. Feel free to contact studentservices@drake.edu if you have any questions about this program, or if you want to suggest a business that you’d like to see participate in the future.
