Why was I given the option for the refund advance if I opened the credit karma spend account, but yet haven't seen any refund advance and it's been 4 days.

I was deceived into opening a stupid account I don't need! I have 3 other accounts I could have used. WHY do we need to be approved credit wise to receive the advance? Nowhere else checks your credit to do it. I've done it before with other bug tax companies and they do t check your credit for that. I'm considering using someone else next year over this stupid crap

All tax companies that offer a Refund Advance (which is a bank loan) have a bank that checks your credit before funding an advance.
