<p>So im kinda confused about the dining plan options. Flex 5, Flex 7, Flex 10, and Flex Max...</p>
<p>Anyone willing to help out?
it would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>and yes i have read the dining plan options website... but i'm still kinda unsure.</p>
<p>Flex 5 means you get five meal swipes per week. 7 means you get 7 meals per week, and so on. Flex max gets you 3,400 dining dollars and no meal plans. Meals are reloaded every monday. If you do not use up all the meals in a given week, they go to waste. Each meal plan also gets some dining dollars, but around 400-750 dollars. This is supposed to last you the entire year. </p>
<p>Dining collars can be quite useful. They can be used at the commons and a nearby Jack in the Box or two. The convenience stores, or C-store around the residence halls and campus also accepts dining dollars. </p>
<p>Only one meal swipe is allowed for each meal. IE. you can swipe a meal for lunch only once, and not for a friend. If you swipe a friend in, they will charge dining dollars.</p>
<p>thanks. i appreciate it. </p>
<p>Flex 10 ftw</p>
<p>Meal Plans
As stated earlier that the flex plans have a number of meals and a certain amount of dining dollars.
I highly recommend to start out at Flex 5 or Flex 7 because the only time you can change to go lower is the first two weeks of the year. However, if you want to upgrade you can do it through the year.
Dining dollars can only be used at UCR dining locations.
Bear Bucks can be used on campus and other outside vendors.
That pretty much sums it up.</p>
<p>wait .. so if i got flex 5, i can only eat dinner each day?? O_O or wut lol</p>
<p>There is this UCR facebook group forum with a thread on meal plans. Checky</p>
<p>I have a the flexmax. Its good if you like to eat alot, or you never go home on weekends.</p>
