HR BLOCK Fees and ACCOUNT NOW CARD

[andrea]

I filed with HR Block, chose to have the fees come out of my refund and the remainder DD to my prepaid Account Now card. I’ve had this card for many years and always get my paycheck direct deposited as well. MY DDD is 2/11/15, I need to know if HR Block takes extra time to get the money sent to me or if the 2/11/15 date is accurate. Can anyone with this or any other prepay card please tell me what you’re experiencing. Thanks!

I just spoke with HR Block and the agent i spoke to told me that it’s like 2 different direct deposits are set up for your refund. One is sent to HR Block bank for just the fees and the remainder is sent to the bank acct you chose. So there should be no waiting time whatsoever. It’s been a while since i’ve gotten a refund, so i’m confused as to how all this works. Hopefully that agent was correct because i need my money Wednesday and not later lol.

From my understanding and what I have been told by HRblock reps. They Say that as soon as they get your Deposit they take fees out and put it in your account. They claim this is instantaneous. Once they get it you get it. Using the EMerald card from HRBlock I would get it a day in advance ore 2. This is the first year using my bank account. I am tired of paying ATM fees to pull out my money. In 2009 I had to drain 6 ATMs for 3500 bucks so I could pay for a car. most ATMs have a lock of 300 per transaction and add a 3 dollar fee. that adds up to some money. Banks charge a 50 dollar fee to get a cash advance from your card in my area. That is if your lucky and got a card that has your name on it. If you got the generic card your SOL. Last year I got offset delay and didnt get my refund til April 28 and they sent it as a check. I enjoyed not having to pay atm fees. So I went with my bank this year
