<p>Can someone explain the difference between the dining flex dollars and the expense dollars? If you can use expense dollars at Subway, etc. why get dining flex dollars?</p>
<p>I think the difference is that you don't have to pay tax when you use Flex.</p>
<p>You can't use flex for laundry machines or vending machines.</p>
<p>Expense can be used for almost everything on campus, including food; flex is for food only. </p>
<p>But when you use flex, you are not charged sales tax.</p>
