How Credits Work

Exact credit cost appears before checkout.

01

Why credits?

They turn a food budget into meal-plan funds, not open-ended card spending.

02

What is 1 credit?

Many everyday orders are around 1 credit; premium or multi-item orders can use more.

03

Why it saves

Credits unlock member deals, avoid delivery-app markups, and roll over until graduation.

“Elevate is the best option for a dining plan at UVA. Per meal swipe, it is cheaper than UVA meal plans, the swipes don't expire, and instead of having to plan around daily dining hall menus to get food that is okay at best, you can go to almost any restaurant on the corner and pick genuinely good food for your meal swipe.”

“Elevate provides convenience to the college eating experience that simply has no competition. Some of the top restaurants in the area available at the click of a button is too good to pass up!”

“Elevate was one of the best things I ever did! It makes life much easier when you can pick up an affordable meal on the way back from class or when you have too much work to do to make dinner. I really enjoy the new options that were put on there as well.”
