Mountie Bounty

Mountie Bounty is a great way to secure your food allowance and take advantage of other campus services.

This convenient debit plan allows you to place dollar amounts on your Mountaineer Card for later use. This service offers security for the card-bearer and the ability to add value to the card at any time at WVU or from home. There are no set-up fees and no minimum balances are required. When the card is swiped through a reader, like those used for credit cards, the account number on the card’s magnetic stripe is read and the purchase amount is deducted from the balance in your prepaid account. This service allows you to use your funds only for the purposes you choose. Balances are carried forward each year, but be sure to read our debit regulations so that you understand your entitlements for the program.

Mountie Bounty allows you to place money in an account to be used at various locations across campus. Mountie Bounty may be used at :
