The Emerald Card at H & R Block is a MasterCard that they give you when you are approved for a line of credit. The MasterCard is where the money is put and you can use it like a credit or debit card. The line of credit can now be used all year round. They are starting the Emerald Cards on November 24th of this year. All you have to do is go to a Block Office and apply for the line of credit. You can pay it off when your taxes come in or you can pay it off before that with other funds. Then you can have access to this line of credit when ever you need it. It's a great product that only costs around $40.

December 6th is the earliest that one can get an advance using the Emerald Card Advance program.
HR Block will first lend you an amount equal to your anticipated refund minus fees. It will give you this loan in the form of a check or a prepaid debit card. You will sign a piece of paper authorizing HR Block (or its bank) to open a bank account in your name and you will give them power of attorney to make withdrawals from the bank account. HR Block will put down on your tax return that you want your refund direct deposited into the bank account that you just authorized them to open. The IRS will direct deposit your refund into the bank account. HR Block (or its bank) will then immediately withdraw your refund from the bank account and use the money to repay the loan they gave you earlier. If, for any reason, the IRS does not direct deposit your refund into the bank account or deposits less than expected, then HR Block (or its bank) will pursue you directly to repay the loan.
After Thanksgiving.
