Did you know that York University has a rewards program? Just like retail stores which allow you to collect points to redeem for items, the bookstore in collaboration with yu-card are doing the same! They are offering Scholar Dollars!
What are Scholar Dollars?
Scholar Dollars is free money you get whenever you use your yu-card to make a purchase at the bookstore. These scholar dollars get accumulated, and you can use them to buy stuff at the bookstore!
How much Scholar Dollars do I get for a purchase?
Scholar dollars are rewarded at a rate of:
- 5% on purchases with tax
- 5.38% on purchases with 13% tax
- 4.76% on purchases without tax
Therefore, if you buy $100 worth of textbooks with your yu-card at the bookstor, you will get $5 scholar dollars for free. Those $5 scholar dollars can later be used to purchase notebooks, pens, york sweaters, anything and everything at the bookstore!
How do I use my YU-Card to make a purchase at the Bookstore?
In order to use your yu-card to buy stuff, you need to first put money onto your yu-card! You can put money onto your yu-card through 2 ways:
1. Online: log in, and add money with a credit card (your parents can also add money for you through the guest deposit option)
2. YU-Card Station: theses are machines around campus, which allow you to deposit money onto your card using 5, 10, and 20 dollar bills. Yu-card stations can be found at: Bronfman Business Library, Osgoode Hall Law Library, Scott Library (1st and 2nd floors), Steacie Science Library, William Small Computing Commons, William Small Centre – Room 200 (YU-card office).
BONUS: When you redeem one Scholar Dollar, you'll get $1 off your purchase! Redeem 100 Scholar Dollars on a single purchase and the Bookstore will give you a bonus $100 gift card! $200 in savings!
Therefore deposit money on those yu-cards, and make sure you use your yu-card to purchase your textbooks this September! There is a lot of free Scholar Dollars out there to be gained and saved up. Not sure what textbooks you need to get for your classes? Be on the lookout for my next blog post!
Until Next Time, I'll be Yorking Around,
