<p>uclacee has it right on, akk0f. Consider a hypothetical, made up example. If the cost of a meal swipe is $99 if bought in bulk vs. $8.25 if using easypay, it doesn’t matter if you are getting 88 additional swipes per quarter for $1.25, you’re still losing a huge amount of money. Obviously, the price isn’t $99 per swipe, but you get what I’m saying. If you calculate it directly by asking housing in Sproul, it comes out to ~$10-11 per swipe if you get the 11 cub plan and ~$9 per swipe if you get the 19P plan. Still a net profit for the university.</p>
