Meal Plan Question! :d
So when I look into detail of how much money I get this( my amounts of $ have been covered up):

My question is that I have a good sum of money under FREEDOM. I heard that is smart to transfer it over to FLEX. What account would be best for it to transfer over to next year?

Read this and decide for yourself what's best.

I'm a bit confused though, why did you post the image with the money values covered up? If you're not going to show the amount of money in each section, why post the image?

you can use freedom dollars in consecutive years. Any dollar amount in normal (box 1) is wiped if unspent. The difference is if you were to purchase on campus, normal gets the most price reduction of 14%. Flex only gets 7% Cash gets 0.

When it says "The FREEDOM account is a fully taxable and fully refundable portion" does that mean I can go to the office April 30th and say I want all the money in my freedom account to be transfer into my private bank account without being charged the $50 fee :S

-image was posted incase it may have been unclear of the different accounts. I thought it couldn't hurt to include.

I think you can go to the office and request to get it refunded (you can also send them an email to request it)- but you won't get it back right away. It gets put into your student account, and then you can request to have that refunded from the financial services office. Then they will mail you a cheque.
There shouldn't be a $50 fee for this (I just did it a few weeks ago).
