just because you are pre approved in the TT program doesn't mean the bank will actually approve the advance ... if you are not approved they will mail you a letter ... see the details in the contract you signed:
Not all consumers will qualify for a loan or for the maximum loan amount. If approved, your loan will be for one of ten amounts: $250, $500, $750, $1,000, $1,500, $2,000, $2,500, $3,000, $3,500, or $4,000. Your loan amount will be based on a portion of your anticipated federal refund to a maximum of 50% of that refund amount (minus any stimulus payment credit, also known as Recovery Rebate Credit). You will not receive a final decision of whether you are approved for the loan until after you file your taxes. Loan repayment is deducted from your federal tax refund and reduces the subsequent refund amount paid directly to you.
If approved, your Refund Advance will be deposited into your Credit Karma Money TM Spend (checking) account, typically within 1 hour after the IRS acceptance of your e-filed federal return. You may access your funds online through a virtual card and your physical Credit Karma Visa Debit Card* should arrive in 7 - 14 days. *Card issued by MVB Bank, Inc., Member FDIC pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc.; Visa terms and conditions apply. Third party fees may apply.

This is the loan agreement everyone signed for the advanced refund
FCB REFUND ADVANCE LOAN AGREEMENT
- A. Status of Application; Approval and Funding of Loan. The amount of the Loan for which you qualify will depend, in part, on the amount of your estimated income tax refund. We have not yet committed to make any Loan. We will only be committed to make a Loan if and when we disburse Loan proceeds to you in the manner set forth below. Based on your representations made during the application process and in this Agreement, we agree as follows. If your request for a Loan is approved and all conditions to funding are met, we will advise you of the final approved amount of your Refund Advance Loan. You acknowledge that receiving this Refund Advance Loan has no impact or effect upon the timing of receiving your tax refund. If your federal income tax refund (“Tax Refund”) is paid by the IRS before the Loan is funded, your Loan will not be approved and the Loan will not be funded.
