Meal plan Flex points can be used at the Sodexo retail locations on campus. Flex points carry over from the Fall semester into the Spring semester, but Flex points not used by the end of the Spring semester become null and void. Flex points are applied to the student's UH Hilo ID. The ID then acts like a pre-paid debit card for the Sodexo food establishments on campus.

Dining Points can be used at any Sodexo Retail location on campus. Dining points can be purchased by anyone. Minimum to open an account is $25. Purchased Dining points only expire if unused for over 6 months. A bonus can be earned when purchasing points. If someone does not have a UH Hilo ID, we can assign their points to a UH Hilo Dining Points card, which will operate like a pre-paid debit card for the Sodexo food establishments on UH Hilo campus. Dining points can be purchased in-person at the dining office, on the GET app, or over the phone.

$75 or more earns 10% bonus
