Do you have the Alcalá Advantage? Formerly known as just the 'advantage card', the Alcalá Advantage is the new departmental charge card that you may use for food and beverage purchases in any Dining Services location. Purchases will be billed to your departmental POETs code.
In conjunction with the recent Campus Card system upgrades, existing Advantage dining cards no longer work (as of 2/09). You may pick up your replacement card in the Campus Card office, UC 127.
If you don’t currently have an Advantage card but would like one, go to UC 127 to fill out an application. Please note: your form must be authorized with a budgetary signature for you to receive a card.
