<p>Say I use it to pay for food before my meal plan status but I have no money on the card; will it just be charged to my bruinbill? Or will it be rejected?</p>
<p>Meal plan starts*</p>
<p>What do you mean, before it starts? </p>
<p>As a bit of a side note, you can put money on it for easypay for food, but that only works at bcafe, Rendezvous, and Cafe1919 as well as some vending machines. You dump money on it via the bruincard website and use it like a debit card, which is also how you pay for laundry.</p>
<p>When does the meal plan start? Saturday or Sunday? I’m moving in Friday.</p>
<p>Actually EasyPay also works for dining halls.</p>
<p>Meal plan should start by the time you check in. (Not early arrival though)</p>
<p>They should be working by now.</p>

<p>To answer you question, it would be denied. It would not get charged to your BruinBill.</p>
<p>your bruincard isnt like a credit card. more like debit. you need to load money to your account</p>
