If you qualify for Refund Advance and are approved for the Turbo Visa Debit Card, you’ll be notified by email of the approved amount and you’ll be able to start spending online, typically within 48 hours of the IRS accepting your return. For more information, please click here.
If it takes "typically" 48 hours to "start spending" the money from the advance, then why is it advertised as anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours?

Right it clearly says on their front page of the website...YOU CAN USE YOUR ASVANCE AN HOUR AFTER ACCEPTANCE...but I think they just changed it to 48 hours probably due to high amounts of ppl trying to get an advance...is there any number we can call to check if we dont recive anything after 48 ? its suppose to be an advance which means getting funds same day.
Once the IRS accepts your return. one hour later, you will get the card info (which then has to be set up with an online account). Forty-eight hours after acceptance, there is money available on the virtual card.
How will I know if I'm approved for Refund Advance and how long does it usually take?
About the Refund Advance application process
Yeah wasn't this long last year but it is what it is we all waiting I guess
If you are expecting an advanced refund, you cannot use the same card from last year, a new card will be mailed to you in 5-10 business days.
