“The Wright1 Card is more than just another card that goes in your wallet,” said Logan Magoto, a junior at Wright State University.
The Wright1 Card is Wright State’s most underrated resource; students are often unaware of the benefits that come with a Wright1 Card.
Students can load their Wright1 Card with Dining Dollars that can be used to purchase food at any on-campus restaurant.
Raidercash can also be held on Wright1 Cards for vending machine and bookstore buys.
“The Wright1 Card is more than an ID, it is used for door access, fitness center access, library card, meal plans and prepaid stored value debit,” said Steve Adams, associate director in Wright1 and vending services.
When it comes to campus accessibility, Wright1 Cards allow students to gain access to multiple doors. The card allows dorm entry, fitness center privilege and library resources.
“I have used my Wright1 Card to checkout a laptop from the library once when I forgot mine. I have also used it to get into different rooms on campus for classes. Lastly, I have used it to purchase food at all of the various on-campus options,” said Magoto.
Off-campus specials are just as helpful to students. Many off-campus merchants offer a 5 percent discount when students use their Raidercash. These include Arby’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Panera and Domino’s Pizza.
“I have gotten a discount at Gigi’s cupcakes and Panera Bread. The discount I received was 5 percent off my total purchase,” said Magoto. “Commuter students don’t realize that the Wright1 Card allows you to take advantage of combo meal deals [via Dining Dollars or Raider Cash] at the dining facilities on campus that cash and credit card can’t access.”
Discounts can stray further than local merchants. Cincinnati Premium outlets offer student discounts within their stores when the card is displayed. The Kate Spade store has given an additional 10 percent off of the total cost of a handbag.
Your Wright1 Card is indeed more than a piece of plastic.
