The Tiger Card - Now Accepted Off Campus! 

By now we hope that you have noticed some of the marketing materials advertising the off campus merchants who have contracted to accept Trinity University Tigerbucks as a form of payment for goods and services in their establishments. These merchants recognize the value of Trinity University students, faculty & staff as customers and welcome them to use Tigerbucks at their establishments.

WHAT IT IS

The Off Campus Vendor program is a result of a partnership between the TU Association of Student Representatives (ASR), The Tiger Card Office, our corporate partners, Off Campus Solutions, Cbord, and the local vendors who have agreed to accept Tiger Bucks as a form of payment. Area vendors currently under contract to accept Tiger bucks are listed on the Tiger Bucks website www.tigerbucks.com new vendors are continually being added, check the site frequently to see who is new!

Since Fall of 2006 the University's Tigerbucks tender is accepted at several local merchants. Go to Off Campus Solutions Website to see a list of growing merchants.

HOW IT WORKS

• The off campus vendor program operates similarly to the process used on campus for Tiger Bucks sales. 
• Merchants are required to insure that the person presenting the Trinity ID card as payment is in fact the person pictured on the ID card. Merchants are required to confiscate cards present to them by anyone other then the owner.
• Illegible, defaced, invalid or unreadable cards will not be accepted.
• All sales must be entered into the merchant’s point of sale system by swiping a valid Trinity ID card at the time of sale, at the merchant’s place of business.
• Merchants are not permitted to manually key in ID numbers into the point of sale system to post sales.
• Lost or stolen cards will not be accepted.
• Sales are only processed using Tiger Bucks Accounts. Meal plans & university departmental charge sales are not accepted off-campus.

Look for “We accept TU Tiger Bucks” signs & banners at various local businesses off campus
