Gaucho Bucks is a cashless, prepaid spending account on your Access Card that is accepted on and off the U.C. Santa Barbara campus. You must
add value to your account before using Gaucho Bucks to make purchases and have sufficient value available in your account to pay for each transaction. Every time you use your Gaucho Bucks account, the amount of the transaction will be deducted from your account and you may not spend more value than you have. Unused balances roll over semester to semester and year to year.
