Ahhh..all these meal plans are confusing me!

As I understand it, Wildcat Points and Munch Money are pretty much the same thing. They can both be used at the same places. My question is, how much $ does a Wildcat Point equal? Do I use Munch Money after I've used up my Wildcat Points?

I'm rather confused as well. I think that the Block Plans are better for me, but I am wondering about the Wildcat Points thing as well. Can anyone help us?

Munch Money and Wildcard Points are NOT THE SAME. Munch Money is like a debit card food plan. WildCard points are points (treated like American currency) you earn based on what your meal plan is. Look at "NU Sophomore Taking Questions" and scroll down for a more thorough answer.

I understand what you're saying Tenisghs, but in function, Munch Money and Wildcard Points are the same. Both are used to buy the same kinds of food at the same places. The only difference is how you get them.

Wildcat Points only come with meal plans. Munch Money must be deposited yourself.

Right?

Right. I never did the Munch Money option, and survived happily with WildCard points. I just used the Block Meal Plans.
