Turbo Card and Transferring Funds

Since these mods want to delete and censor every question/post that I make, I'm reposting this.

 

Okay so these next stimulus checks that are coming on Monday the 4th, I have a replacement card coming but won't be here until Thursday the 7th (at least that's what it says).

I don't to wait 3 days for a "Maybe" I'll get the card then since so many people don't receive their cards on the day said.


I can't transfer my funds to another Turbo Card/Green Dot Card because I have to "activate" my card.. which I don't have yet. Yeah I have the routing number but that really won't help with much.

I read people saying sending the money to your PayPal doesn't work anymore. Some people mentioned doing a Money Grant (never used it before, only Union) with connecting the routing bank to it but could anyone actually confirm this and say it's true?

 

I also read of people sending it to their Cash App but I'm honestly doubting that would work. How are people alternatively sending their funds (without their card) to another platform/account?


I've heard about Zelle on here but again I'm doubtful that would work either. I have a few people I could send the money to with their own bank accounts (US Bank etc) but I'm seeing son much about how you can't send or transfer anything regardless of what you use.


Does anyone have some ways to get around this and access their funds? Because I need the funds ASAP and not trying to wait for a maybe about receiving my card on Thursday (almost a whole week).

 

Any advice, suggestions and information would be appreciated but please don't respond back with the same customer service links and copy and pasted information from the website. I need legit, genuine responses on how to do this. Thank you.

The payment will go to the account you entered for direct deposit on the 2019 tax return.  If the account is closed the IRS will send the payment by mail or on a debit card.

Thanks and I'm asking how could we transfer funds from our account to somewhere else? It doesn't make sense that we wouldn't be able to access our own funds because the card hasn't came yet. It also doesn't make much sense as to why we couldn't transfer our funds to another bank. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering how to transfer their funds because they don't have a card or are waiting for a card. We should be able to transfer the funds somewhere else if we have access to our accounts, routing numbers and all that information?
