Dining Dollars

Can you use your dining dollars at food places in the Price Center? Like Jamba Juice, Panda Express, etc.

Use TritonCash instead. You get 10% off on purchases.

Triton Cash is essentially the same thing as having a debit card, only you 1) get the 10% discount, and 2) can use it both on- and off-campus (the off-campus places will have a sign that says they accept Triton Cash).

i believe you get the 10% discount only if you use triton cash in the dining halls.

Passes are a waste of money: First of all there is no way to tell in the panther
usage center how many Passes are even being used they only show Panther funds, your money that you deposited and Dining dollars I was told there is no way to keep track of dining Passes being used by the school and if you don't tell Market central specifically to take it out of the passes part of the panther card they can take it out of the dining dollars side of it instead. To me this sounds like all your dining dollars and panther funds part of the card gets used first and thats why kids are left with so many passes at the end of the semester because they not being accepted properly by a cafeteria cashier that doesn't care what part of your cards funds are being used. I can't believe some of the financial students at Pitt don't address this issue and I'm just an average joe that figured this out.
For Pitt to say they can't keep track of Food Pass usage and only dining dollar and Panther fund usage sounds very underhanded and sly. It's a school of science yet they can't figure out this simple flaw in the Panther card system I would always suggest get the smallest passes
the smallest of dining dollars and send money in another way to your child until Pitt figures out a way to smooth this bump in the system.
they must think we are all stupid to think they can hide this fact.As a parent that pays for my childs education I take it personally

You have to go to mypitt use password and email name then click on Panther central after it goes through click on dining not housing . Then click Panther funds usage report and it will show the usage of Panther funds (extra cash) or dining dollars( to be used in or outside of market central) but not Dining Pass Usage which Pitt claims they cannot keep
track of .There is a name given on the website that you can contact through Market central a lady is in charge. If you have a complaint. Personally i think everyone should be complaining about such a lame system.
Another thing is if your child has late classes and hasn't eaten till like 8:30 or so the only thing they can really eat good that late at the cafeterias is like a waffle they make themselves. Everything else is old and dried up and the Pizza lady retires way before closing Oh she's there but the pizza's are not. Whose gonna ask before closing.. will you make me a pizza Pizza lady. They should at least have a pizza sitting out for a quick meal. Talk to your child. Find out where your moneys going or not going. Oh yeah and I figured its 13 dollars a meal that's an expensive waffle ... Sept 2012
