University at Buffalo - The State University of New York

Campus Dining & Shops has established a new plan for faculty and staff that allows them to add money to their UB Cards to make purchases, including food, supplies and gifts, at numerous locations, both on and off campus.

The FlexiBULL Bucks plan is a prepaid debit account that operates just like Campus Cash for students—but with the added feature of providing a discount on food and beverage purchases made at any Campus Dining & Shops location.

Campus Dining & Shops currently has more than 90 locations with FlexiBULL Bucks can be used. The list can be found at myubcard.com.

FlexiBULL Bucks can be added to a UB Card by going to myubcard.com/FlexiBull or by calling the UB Card Office at 645-6344 and using a Visa or MasterCard. A FlexiBULL Bucks account can be opened with as little as $25; additional funds can be added any time in increments of $25. FlexiBULL Bucks, which are taxable, do not expire and continue to carry over year to year until the account holder leaves the university.
