When to use Meal Swipes:

- Save your swipes for times that you are able to eat in the Pilla Dining Area and enjoy the benefits of the “all you can eat” option (which includes any hot food item from any station that is out and pre-cooked. This includes the salad bar and deli).
- You have the opportunity to come back for seconds (that will be consumed in Pilla) within a 45 minute period and you must present the receipt you are given when you originally check out & your ID. You cannot fill up a to-go container with seconds.
- Desserts out on plates (not pre-packaged) are part of the meal plan.
- Fountain drinks are part of the meal plan – please use the coffee and soda cups that are provided.
When to use Auxilary Points:

- If you use a meal swipe but also want to purchase retail (or to-go) items, then aux points will be used.

- If you would like to pay for a meal for a guest you will use your aux points or a meal swipe.
