Why does the Refund Advance Temporary Card not work?

I have already contacted the customer service number for Green Dot, they could not tell me what was wrong or when it would be fixed. 

My return was accepted by the IRS, the $2,000 advance is in the account.

Every time I try to use the temporary card assigned that you are told can be used for online purchases it does not work. It does not work with any merchants across multiple platforms. 

What is the point of getting an advance within 1 hour* of IRS acceptance if you cannot access the money? Why should I have to wait 5-10 business days?! That is not an advance at all and will take the same amount of time if I just waited for the IRS to deposit in to my bank account.

 

This is shady, scammy, and unethical.

 

If this is not promptly resolved I will never use Turbo Tax again, I have used it for many years, and use it to file my family members for them as well. This is absurd.

    You have to set up a Google pay account you put your account and routing number from your advanced pay virtual account on your Google pay then you also have to take your Google pay information account routing number and put it on your turbo tax advance through credit karma able to let you transfer over there $500 a week and then you can take any debit card you have whether it be NetSpend Green Dot whatever and you go into that account and put your Google pay on there therefore whatever money that you transfer off of your credit karma under your Google pay you use your NetSpend card or whichever one you attach to your Google pay also and you can pull the funds off of Google pay onto that card
