you will receive no help from the toll free number. spent 40 minutes on hold just to talk to someone who said the temporary card info wasn't working on sites like Playstation, amazon, apple pay because the "service was down". i continued to ask "how can i find out when the service is available again? i have my tax return in the account i had to make with y'all to use this feature." she couldnt understand the question. i then asked "how long has the service been down" in every way i could think of and she was left more and more clueless every time. eventually i just hung up. i think this temporary card thing that Turbo Tax advertises might just be a scam for them to get bank accounts made with Green Dot Corporation. Idk but i dont like the customer service one bit especially when dealing with multiple thousands of dollars and tax returns im sure.

I also got the refund advance. Only so i could access my money sooner. Have the money on it. You say you can spend it online but every site i have tried declines the card. Either there's a major flaw in your system, or its just a way to get people to use your cards. So now have to just wait the 5-10 business days, for the card to come in the mail. At first i thought it might just be mine, but obviously its a problem for many.
Connect your temporary card to PayPal, it works . Use as preferred method of payment

The Turbo Tax refund advance is a big joke! After reading the responses it seems everyone is having the same issue. When I call the customer service number, I get no help whatsoever. I just wasted an hour on the phone and I don’t know anything new than before. It’s a scam and Turbo Tax can’t even pay to have employees in the US to help. What a pos scam.
I called and they claim the temporary card wont be able to use until 24-48hrs after you get approved..smh
seems like a lie imo
How were you able to access your temporary card? How did you set it up? I keep getting an error message that says I should wait until it arrives in the mail and then I am able to create an online account. I never received the second email that actually gives me a link to see my temporary card number. I check my card and the money is on the card. I just have no way of accessing it.

Getting to know the Turbo® Visa® Debit Card
These so called employees on here clearly are not reading the actual problems the customers are having. They just keep posting a link that does nothing and a customer service num that offers ZERO customer service. This is in fact a rouse to get you to use their horrible products. Turbo tax is garbage along with green dot. There is no advance. I wish i read the reviews before i used them. I recommend ANY other tax company. Their is no customer service here nor a tax advance! I hope this save at least one person from getting sucked into this scam of an operation.
This hole thing seems to be a big scam! The call center is a wasted effort by far and I cant for the life of me find some who can actually help me get my information to make the account
