Refund Advance Not Received

This is my first time using TT. I filed my return on 1/18. At the time I applied for and was approved a 500 refund advance. I  understood at that time that IRS would not start accepting returns until 1/27. Once IRS accepts my return. The 500 advance would be deposited into my CK money account with 15m of acceptance from the IRSs.  My return was accepted at around 9ish this morning. My refund advance still hasn't been deposited into my account. Is anyone else having this issue?

Many people have posted about not getting their advance but they will not post when they get it and we do not know when they do.  Please post back when it is received so others can be assured when it is working.

If your getting your refund 5 days early you won't be getting an advance if they would they would post that no one would be confused it's either or and they make money on 5days early not on the advance so if u opted in to get paid 5days early you won't get a advance. It's bs

I didn't opt for the 5 day early. I won't be getting my refund until end of Feb or early March because I have EIC. So 5 days wouldn't make a difference for me by then. But right now the advance will. That's why I chose the  refund advance option

***UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL POSTED QUESTION***

 

So apparently the same day I filed my taxes, applied and was approved for the loan, was also the same day that they denied the loan. An email was sent but it went to my spam folder. I attached a snip of the email. The upsetting part is that I called the Treasury Offset and they said I have no debts owed. Well I guess at least now I know. Thanks to the person who posted to check you spam. This is the offset # in case anyone else needs it (800) 304-3107.

My refund advance has been a nightmare.  I applied for the refund advance, and I got an email confirming this.  When my refund was approved, I never got the money.  I called everyone, and Turbo Tax was not at all helpful.  They stated that this was an issue across the board, acknowledge that "they didn't know why this happened."  They stated that my refund was sent in to the IRS as 5 days early, not the refund advance I filed for.  I spent hours on the phone.  They refused to let me speak to a supervisor.  They told me to call the IRS- Why?  The IRS had nothing to do with it.

Yes this is literally what I came here to check on. I’ve always used TT and I’ve always gotten an advance once they started making em available. Never had issues, ALWAYS got it within 15min of approaval, always able to use it instantly whether with the actual card or the virtual. However this year I’ve recieved nothing except an est date of Feb 1 for the advance except today is Feb 19 and I recieved a DDD on my transcripts this morning so I know I’m completely approved. Trying to figure out what the hold up is

I called turbo they said for some reason my application is stuck in a pending status and there’s nothing they can do about it been using them for yrs this has never happened Credit Karma said they can’t release the funds until turbo updates my application status so I basically assumed I’m not getting I already see my deposit date on my irs transcript as well
