Once you have made a deposit into your account, login to the meal plan homepage on your phone at https://aladdinatcuny.com/cuny and tap Display Virtual ID. This barcode is what you scan at the register. You can add it to your digital wallet (Apple, Google) or display it on the webpage when you check out. If you are unable to use your phone for payment, you may print the barcode and use it at the register.
Dining dollars automatically expire after 1 year of inactivity. As long as you are using your meal plan, there is no expiration date.
The website is only set to the four amounts listed, hence why we provide bonuses for each tier. While you may refill your plan with any of the four amounts, you may not deposit a custom amount.
