What Is The Difference Between Meal Plans And Prattbucks?

The Pratt ID card is a payment card that supports multiple monetary accounts. Funds are added to different accounts depending on where you want to use your ID card to make purchases. With a Meal Plan account, cardholders can make purchases at various dining facilities on campus. Since purchases with a meal plan are not charged tax, you can save almost 10% compared to cash purchases. The PrattCard functions as a prepaid debit card too. Money can be added to your ID card in an account called PrattBucks. These funds may be used to make purchases at participating on-campus and off-campus locations. For a current list of locations that accept Meal Plans or PrattBucks, click on the PrattCard Accepted At… link.

Is There A Fee For Damaged, Lost, Or Stolen Id Cards?

There is no charge for the initial ID card; however, a fee is charged to replace lost or stolen cards. The fee will be waived for a stolen card if a police report has been filed and presented at the PrattCard ID Office. If a card is deemed to have a malfunction or is damaged, it will be replaced at no charge.
