Just to make sure I understand.if you enter Market Central, I presume you have to swipe your Panther Card. I would strongly suggest the 50 dinning pass 900~ dinning dollar plan (it is what I am on now)ĬuttingEdge - thanks for the tip about it being cheaper to pay for breakfast/lunch at Market Central rather than use a dining pass. Plus dining dollars can be used to get in to market CHEAPER than dining passes for breakfast/lunch and with only a slight penalty at dinner. With that said, Dining dollars are 1,000,000 x more useful than meal passes. In practice they serve the following functions.Īllow parents to make sure you are not using their money to buy alcohol A lot of places on Forbes claim to accept them but often they are broken. SOME of the vending machines accept them. Panther funds are like real money except you can only use them certain places You absolutely need them for laundry. The only places that aren't significantly inflated are pitt owned fast food places like taco bell and burger kind where you can use dining dollars. This is annoying because like a coke costs $2.75 at quick zone, $2.00 in a vending machine, and like $6/6 at 7 eleven but if you want to use dining dollars you have to use the first. You can't even use them at the cheaper school owed vending machines.

You can't use these anywhere else but school owned eateries/quickzone. ĭinning dollars are something you get with your meal plan that allow you to buy overpriced foods which the school sells at a huge profit. This is all correct I just think that the difference between dining dollars and panther funds ought to be clarified.
