Can my SUNYCard be used for Shop24 purchases?

Yes.  Students can use Munch Money, Podium and Campus Gold funds on their SUNYCard to purchase beverages and snacks from Shop24 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
Faculty and staff can use Podium funds and their Faculty/Staff Dining Plan for purchases via their SUNYCard.

Cash is also accepted at Shop24.

How does the machine know what SUNYCard funds to deduct for purchases at Shop24?

SUNYCard purchases made at Shop24 are deducted from your SUNYCard account balances in the following order, depending on the availability of funds:

  1. Munch Money
  2. Faculty / Staff Dining Plan
  3. Podium
  4. Campus Gold

If you have rollover Munch Money from a previous semester, only that balance will display when you use your card at registers and vending machines, until the rollover is exhausted.

What if my SUNYCard was lost or stolen and then used at Shop24?

You are responsible for ensuring the security and safety of your SUNYCard, just as you would your credit card.  Refunds are not provided for fraudulent use of SUNYCard funds.  However, for your financial protection, spending controls are in place for excessive SUNYCard purchases made at Shop24.  If your SUNYCard is used frequently at Shop24, you will receive an email alert from [email protected] informing you "your card has excessive vending usage and is temporarily suspended from vending purchases."  The email message will be sent to your official University at Albany email account and is intended to notify you of excessive usage so that you can immediately deactivate your SUNYCard online because your SUNYCard is lost or stolen.  Your SUNYCard can be deactivated by going to MyUAlbany.
