about the card

HOW DO I GET BEAR BUCKS?

You’ve already got it. The Bear Bucks system is BUILT RIGHT INTO your existing PolarExpress Card. It’s there, ready to roll. All you have to do is fund your Bear Bucks account (or get Mom and Dad to), then enjoy total freedom without spending your cash or charging up credit cards. Your Bear Bucks account gives you the freedom to do what you want, when you want, on or off campus.

HOW DOES BEAR BUCKS WORK?

Simple. Your PolarExpress card can be used like a debit card. The card gets swiped at the time of purchase at a participating location, the tab is deducted from your Bear Bucks account and the balance is automatically adjusted. No more digging into your spending money, late night stops at the ATM or charging up credit cards.

ROLLOVER EGGROLLS?

You’ve heard of rollover minutes? Your unused Bear Bucks balance will roll over from semester to semester and year to year.  So now, even with your busy schedule and empty pockets, you can still get a healthy meal or school services!
