What is the difference between M&G dollars and Sun Dollars?
Sun Dollars is a pre-paid services account managed by the ASU Sun Card Office. It works similar to a bank debit card except that cash cannot be withdrawn (however, refunds are available when you transfer or leave the university). You simply put money in your account and then present your Sun Card to any of the participating merchants to make purchases.
M&G Dollars are part of certain mandatory meal plans and can be spent at any of the more than 30 Sun Devil Dining locations on the Tempe, Polytechnic, West and Downtown Phoenix Campuses. The biggest incentive? Your purchases are tax-free at the registers when you use your M&G Dollars.
