Michigan Dining Gift Cards may be purchased at any of the Michigan Dining Cafes and Markets with cash or a credit card. Dining Dollars and Blue Bucks cannot be used to purchase gift cards.

Billing Errors, Corrections

The Regents of the University of Michigan and Michigan Dining (collectively, the “University” or “we”) reserves the right to correct the balance of your M|Dining Gift Card if we believe that a clerical, billing or accounting error has occurred. If you have questions regarding your transaction history or any correction, or if you dispute any transaction or correction that has been assessed against your M|Dining Gift Card, please call  734-764-3000.  We will conduct an investigation and communicate the results and correct any error that we verify upon the completion of the corresponding investigation.  If no error was found, we will communicate an explanation.  We shall have no liability for any billing error unless you provide us notice within sixty (60) days of the date of the transaction in question.

The cardholder will be responsible for any lost or stolen cards. If your M|Dining Gift Card becomes damaged, contact us at 734-764-3000. We will provide a replacement M|Dining Gift Card.
