Vaquero Bucks

Vaquero Bucks, also known as VBucks, is a prepaid expense plan in which your V OneCard can be used for purchases at retail locations throughout campus. Like Dining Dollars, they can be used to purchase meals. Unlike Dining Dollars, they can be used for retail goods and services on campus. 

When you make a minimum deposit of $20 via the GET Portal, your V OneCard becomes your VBucks card as well. Your daily deposit limit cannot exceed $500. VBucks may not be used to purchase gift cards.

Simple

When you buy VBucks, they are credited to your V OneCard. Making a purchase is easy, too—just swipe your V OneCard at the register to pay.

Refundable

Regular VBucks are refundable, never expire, and automatically roll over from year to year as long as you’re a student or an employee of the University. For a VBucks refund, complete the VBucks Refund Request Form.
