Q: When I do my laundry, I only see a balance of $20 or less - what happened to my JumboCash?

A: Because laundry is an unattended purchase, we limit the amount you can use each day to $20 (to protect your funds.) So, when you do your laundry, the displayed balance will be $20 or less. No worries though, the rest of the funds are still in your JumboCash account.

Q: When I do printing or copying, I only see a balance of $100 or less - what happened to my JumboCash?

A: Because pay for print and copying in the campus libraries and computer centers is an unattended purchase, we limit the amount you can use each day to $100 (to protect your funds.) So, when you do your printing or copying, the displayed balance will be $100 or less. No worries though, the rest of the funds are still in your JumboCash account.
