Food Stipend Purchase Card
The following information pertains to students who live in Kollegiums, Residential Communities, or Living and Learning Communities. Refer to the Comprehensive Housing and Support Inclusions for an overview of what is included in each housing option.
What is the Purchase Card?
The Purchase Card is meant to assist you with food and living expenses, but not intended to cover them fully. You will not be reimbursed for any unused balance at the end of the semester, so we recommend you to use the card from day one.
Why do I get a Purchase Card instead of cash?
The purchase card is more secure than using cash because it can be canceled and replaced if it is lost or stolen.
Where can the Purchase Card be used?
The Purchase Card can be used in Føtex, Netto, and Bilka.
How do I use the Purchase Card?
- Give the card to the cashier upon checkout.
- Two receipts will be printed: one for you, and one for the cashier, which you have to sign.
- The amount paid is automatically deducted from your Purchase Card.
How do I keep track of the balance on my Purchase Card?
The Accounting Department (Kontoafdelingen) at Salling Group will send you periodic emails with your balance. Your card will be rejected at checkout when there are insufficient funds to make the designated purchase, and you then have to personally pay for the purchase. To avoid this, keep track of your balance on the purchase card.
What happens if I lose my Purchase Card?
If your card is stolen or lost, you should immediately contact Salling Group via phone (+45 87 78 50 00*) or email (konto@sallinggroup.com) so they can block the card and prevent anyone else from using it. Once the old card has been blocked, Salling Group will issue you a new one. Your new card will be sent to the Student Hub in Vestergade 23, and you will be notified via email when it is ready for pick-up.
