Five ways to earn money/AC Cash on campus!

1. Become a Secret Shopper

Imagine if you could eat a yummy lunch or pick up school supplies and get money/AC Cash to fill out a survey to share your experience? This is exactly what a secret shopper does! Campus Services uses feedback from students about their experience to continually enhance our services, making our campus a great place to be.

After applying to participate in the Secret Shopper program and participating in training, you will receive AC Cash on your AC Card to conduct your shop. After making your purchase in one of the locations on campus, you will then fill out a survey about your experience. Pretty sweet program!

2. Share your student routine with us!

If you follow @ACCampusServices on Instagram, you probably have seen students sharing their day on Instagram stories, right? What you probably don’t know is that they apply to do a takeover and as a thank you, they get $25 in AC Cash! Isn’t that cool? To apply to do a Takeover on Campus Services Instagram account, fill out this form!

3. Sell you used textbooks

Textbooks can be expensive, and we know students are always trying to save money. Did you know The Campus Store buys AND sells used textbooks? You can save up to 25% when buying used books, and as an added bonus, used books are GST exempt!

You can sell back your books anytime, but you will get the most for your books during the buyback period at the beginning of each semester. When you sell textbooks back to The Campus Store, you may receive up to 50% of the current new selling price for your book! Not sure if you could get some money from your book? Visit thecampusstore.ca to search the list of books that are currently eligible for buy-back.

4. Answer our surveys

We want to hear how we are doing! There are survey units across campus to get your feedback. When you answer a survey, you can enter into a draw for a chance to win $100 in AC Cash which can be used at a variety of locations on campus. Easy peasy! Next time you see one of the survey units, take 30 seconds to fill out the survey!

5. Get a seasonal job

Balancing work and school can be challenging! Getting a seasonal job on campus can be a great solution to keep up with your studies and still make some money.
