meal card
Dining hall access
A meal card is a prepaid card used to purchase food, typically at institutional cafeterias.
Common on college campuses and military bases, meal cards are loaded with a set number of meals or a dollar amount: I need to reload my meal card before the semester ends.
Also called a meal plan card or dining card.
