Big Red Bucks

From CUWiki

Big Red Bucks, also referred to as BRBs or "points", are part of a pre-paid account plan maintained by Cornell Dining and Campus Life. Varying amounts of Big Red Bucks are incorporated into Cornell Dining Traditional Meal Plans, House Meal Plans, and Debit Meal Plans. Money associated with Executive Choice and Meal Choice plans function in a similar manner to Big Red Bucks, but the benefits are different.

[edit] Benefits

Big Red Bucks offer the user the convenience of using their Cornell ID card to make tax free purchases at all locations on this list of à la carte dining facilities run by or associated with Cornell Dining.

[edit] Losses

Like any pre-paid accounting plan, Big Red Bucks tie up a significant amount of money to a specific set of dining locations run by Cornell Dining. This restriction limits meal plan users who wish to spend money at off campus dining locations.
