Cal Poly Campus Dining Accepts Major Credit Cards

SAN LUIS OBISPO - Cal Poly’s Campus Dining establishments now accept all major credit and debit cards with the VISA, MasterCard and Discover logos, as well as American Express – a first at Cal Poly.

Associated Students Inc. leadership requested that Campus Dining accept credit cards in all campus eateries.

Jim Reinhart says that Cal Poly Corporation and Campus Dining took the request from ASI leadership seriously and ensured that credit card acceptance was one of the capabilities of the new $300,000 point-of-sale system that was recently installed. “We wanted to give the campus community more purchasing power. Prior to the installation of the new system, our patrons were limited to using cash, Campus Express or meal plan credits.”

The eateries began accepting credit cards this summer. Faculty, staff, students and campus visitors now have the option of swiping their credit and debit cards as payment at each of the 11 eateries.
