All dollars in your account after that date will be forfeited.

The Traditional Unlimited and Sparky's Favorite (Weekly 14) plans, as well as the Barrett Unlimited and Platinum (Weekly 14) meal plans have guest meals. Guest meals are allotted per semester, however they are deducted from the overall weekly meal total. On your receipt, you will see the meals allotted for the week plus the semester guest meals. The guest meals are the individual meal plan holder’s meals, but may be used for a guest if desired. If the guest meals are not used, the meal plan holder uses those meals for him/herself as part of their weekly total.
The Unlimited and Barrett Unlimited meal plans have 48 guest meals per semester.
The Sparky's Favorite and Barrett Platinum meal plans have 32 guest meals per semester.
Depending on the dining plan you select, there are options for guest meals. Guest meals allow you to pay for your friend or family member with your meal plan. You can also treat a friend using your M&G Dollars, Cash or Credit/Debit Cards.
The balance is printed on the receipt each time you make a M&G purchase. Check your account with a cashier at any time, e-mail us at sundevildining@asu.edu or check your ASU app.
