wow, you are right, I checked the site and you CAN use it off campus:

So it is very similar to a debit card.

Anyhow last year I put $50 on before classes started and she did not run out until the spring when I put on another $30.

The only thing about it that I did not like was that to add to it, I had to mail a check to CMU and then they would post it to the card in a few days. It took about a week from when she said “I need money” until it was there. At my son’s school I can add money to his ID card online and it is immediate. I think you can add money directly at the University Center or HUB from your debit card to the Plaid ca$h account but then why not just use the debit card instead.
