Enjoy the discounts that Banana Bucks and Flexi Dollars offer!

Step 1: Request Access to GET

Request access to the GET app and website so you can purchase Flexi Dollars or Banana Bucks, track your balance, and pay at UCSC Dining locations. You only have to request access one time; once you’ve been added, you’ll be able to use the GET Mobile app on your phone or the GET website anytime.

To request access, you must be logged in to your UCSC Google account. Please allow 24-48 hours for processing. Weekend and holiday requests are not processed until the next university business day.
