Merchant Testimonials
"The Cal 1 debit card program has given the Berkeley Thai House access to a new set of Cal student customers and in return, the Thai House has given students an upscale dining choice central to campus. Unlike a credit card or cash-which is free to be spent anywhere- Cal 1 has exclusive connections to an array of dining choices that funnels more students to great restaurants like the Berkeley Thai House; giving parents confidence that their students are eating well and healthy when they use Cal 1. Lastly, the spotlight on the Cal Dining homepage and assistance with printed banners increased our visibility, bringing more customers to the restaurant."
–Berkeley Thai House (November '08)
"Students love how easy the Cal 1 Card is to use all over campus. They are very happy - and grateful - when they find out that University Health Services accepts the Cal 1 Card."
–University Health Services (December '08)
"The efforts and dedication of the Cal 1 Card program are making it the tender of choice, and it has certainly increased traffic. Parents are increasingly funding their students this way. It's a must." –Ned's Bookstore (November '08) "Accepting the Cal 1 Card at my business creates another layer of convenience for the students. In the food service business, students are always looking for convenience, if you don't have it, they go elsewhere." –Yali's Cafe (October, 2008)
