What is the difference between TigerCASH, Paw Points, Tiger Geaux Card and the Campus Federal ATM option?
TigerCASH is an actual dollar value of money on your Tiger Card and can be used anywhere on campus. The value in TigerCASH rolls over from one semester to the next. Paw Points can only be used for food at LSU Dining Locations. TigerCASH can be used anywhere Paw Points are accepted, but not vice versa. See meal plans for more information. The Tiger Geaux Card is for visitors to the university or for Tiger Card cardholders that don't have their card with them. The Tiger Geaux Card is NOT an ID; it can be used like a TigerCASH account for making purchases on campus. You can also take advantage of the option to turn your LSU Tiger Card into an ATM card by linking it to your Campus Federal account. Make purchases and get cash back at stores where ATM cards are accepted. Click here for more information.
