Curious about the differences between dining dollars and flex dollars? We got you covered.
Dining dollars are a part of your meal plan. They can be used on any food or drink purchase from any JMU Dining location. Dining dollars spend like a debit card: as you use them, your balance goes down. 12.3% sales tax is not charged on any purchase made with dining dollars.
Flex dollars are NOT part of your meal plan and are managed by the University Business Office. They can be used on any purchase at on-campus locations AND select off-campus locations. Flex also spends like a debit card, and there is sales tax charged on flex purchases.
