Spending using Rambler Bucks

By Therese Bennett | December 12, 2014

Hello again! Christmas break is almost here! Just two more finals for me and then a whole month where I can just shut my brain down and do absolutely nothing. Since it is finals week, I did not have time to try any new places since I am basically in lock-down mode right now, so instead, I wanted to talk about Rambler Bucks and what they are, where they can be used, ect.

Rambler Bucks is a form of Loyola currency that is accepted at many on-campus sites and some off-campus businesses. How it works is that you log into your LOCUS account and add money (money can be added by check, cash, or credit card) onto your Loyola ID card. This ID card basically becomes a Loyola debit card and you can use the money on your ID to buy food and other goods both on and off campus at the places that accept your ID. It is super convenient for those who do not want to always carry around their wallet with all their money and credit cards and personal information with them. Since you most likely always have your ID on you (you need it for the dining halls, the gym, the IC and library, and to get back in your dorms) it is a quick and easy way to pay for goods and services.

The places that are off-campus that accept Rambler Bucks are: Café Descartes (a great place to grab coffee on the Lakeshore Campus), Epic Burger (yummy burgers with their EPIC sauce at the Water Tower Campus), Felice’s Italian Pizza (fresh pizza made by students for students on the Lakeshore Campus), Five Guys (GREAT Fries and burgers on the Lakeshore Campus), Metropolis Coffee (fancy coffees and teas on the Lakeshore Campus), Papa John’s (the pizza we all know and love on the Lakeshore Campus), Pete’s Pizza (serves delicious gelato, pizza slices, and great sandwiches on the Lakeshore Campus), Potbelly’s (NEW and incredible shakes on the Lakeshore Campus), Subway (on Sheridan and Granville on the Lakeshore Campus), and The Coffee Shop (yummy coffee on the Lakeshore Campus). All on-campus services accept Rambler Bucks.

So go forth and use those Rambler Bucks!
