Automatic student discounts around campus (restaurants & cafes)

How automatic campus discounts work on Fizz

Fizz applies student-focused, card‑linked rewards automatically when you pay with your Fizz Debit Mastercard at eligible restaurants and cafes. Key rates you’ll see in the app:

  • Category earn: Members earn 3x points in their selected category; non‑members earn 1x. See the 1x/3x Category Programs in the Rewards Policy. Fizz Rewards Policy

  • Partner offers: Up to 25% back at select merchants; credited by Fizz (not the merchant) after you pay. Legacy Discount Policy details

  • Flash deals: Up to 100% back on limited‑time “Fizz Fridays” and other specials featured in‑app. Android app listing (Fizz deals)

How it posts

  • Discounts from partner offers are credited toward your Fizz Line of Credit balance (not shown on the merchant receipt). Legacy Discount Policy

  • Points from category spend accrue after your billing payment clears; redemption terms (e.g., $10 minimum and monthly maximums) are in the Rewards Policy. Rewards details

  • Daily Autopay pays purchases from your linked bank account each day, so credits reduce what you owe. Daily Autopay ¡ How the Fizz card works

Card‑linked credits vs. portal/promo codes (quick reference)

Card‑linked credits (Fizz)

  • Applied automatically when you pay with Fizz at eligible MCCs—no code to enter.

  • Not shown on the merchant receipt; Fizz credits your Line of Credit after purchase/settlement. Legacy Discount Policy

  • Points from category spend accrue after your billing payment; track and redeem in‑app (minimums and caps apply). Rewards Policy

  • Requires your account to be in good standing; Fizz may adjust or reverse credits per terms.

Portal/promo codes (non‑Fizz)

  • Entered manually at checkout on a merchant site/app or student portal.

  • Shown on the merchant receipt at the time of purchase; governed by the merchant’s rules.

  • May or may not stack with card‑linked credits; stacking is not guaranteed and depends on each program’s terms.

MCC notes for restaurants & cafes

  • Typical restaurant/cafe MCCs include 5812 (Eating Places & Restaurants) and 5814 (Fast Food Restaurants). Some coffee shops process under these MCCs.

  • Some dining‑adjacent merchants can use other MCCs (e.g., 5811 Caterers). The MCC the merchant submits—not the store name—controls category eligibility.

  • Fizz determines eligibility and exclusions at its discretion; transactions deemed fraudulent/disputed are ineligible. Legacy Discount Policy

Operational details that affect your discount

  • Daily Autopay and SafeFreeze: Purchases are paid daily from your linked bank account; missed payments can lock the card (SafeFreeze) until you catch up. Daily Autopay

  • Points redemption: Minimum redemption and monthly maximums apply; points can expire (e.g., two years after accrual) and are forfeited if the account closes or is in default. Rewards Policy

  • Credit posting: Discount credits reduce your Fizz Line of Credit balance; they will not appear on merchant receipts. Legacy Discount Policy
