Refunds

How do I request a refund for my order?

  • Refunds are managed directly by the on-site dining team and not processed through the Boost app. This applies to U.S. locations only. For Canadian refund requests, contact Guest Support.

  • For the fastest resolution, we recommend connecting with the local team at the place of purchase, as they’ll be able to review your request and assist further.

  • Our support team is unable to provide a specific contact name or direct point of contact for the on-site dining team. 


Meal Plans

Why isn't my campus card working in Boost? 

  • If you are unable to successfully add your campus card, please reach out to student services or your meal plan admin on campus. They can confirm the meal plan is correctly set up in the campus system.

  • If you recently received a new campus card, this may cause errors when loading it. Please contact student services or your meal plan admin for assistance. 

  • Keep your app updated for the latest fixes and improvements. 

Where can I find information about my university's meal plan options? 

Why can't I check in to the Frictionless Market? 

  • A temporary pre-authorization will be applied at check-in using a credit or debit card. The pre-authorization will vary by site or location. The pre-authorization is a temporary hold used to verify available funds. Once your purchase is completed, the hold will drop off and be replaced by the final purchase amount.

  • Frictionless sites do not support digital wallet purchases (i.e., Apple Pay or Google Pay)

  • Students using a meal plan must maintain a minimum balance of $20.00 in their account in order to check in to a Frictionless market.

  • If the account balance is insufficient, an error message will be displayed, and the check-in process will be denied.
