This is beyond frustrating! I keep getting in app notifications that say “You are approved for $100 advance, accept it when you need it” so I try to accept it and every time. It says “Your Wells Fargo account is not eligible. Please connect a different account.” So, it approved me with that account but it’s not eligible to receive the approved amount? Umm yea ok. The account was sure eligible for them to take their monthly fee out of. I think it’s a scam. They tell you you’re approved to get you to pay the monthly fee to qualify for cash advance then once you pay the fee and try to accept, suddenly your account isn’t eligible. Wow

The app stopped working with my credit union after 2 advances. Funny thing is it didn't stop working until after they got their money back. Seems suspicious to me.

Empower was linked to my bank and was working great. The past 2 times I tried for an advance and a message is telling me that I have to link a different bank account? How can this happen. I use the same bank and it always worked. Please help. Thank you

I get between 500 and 600 dollars direct deposited into my Dave banking account weekly on Thursdays and that account is the only one linked to my empower account and it worked fine for months, I used every week paying back and getting increased a little more each time. So, out of the blue- less than 1 month ago, i had payed off like a 125 dollar advance I think and the next day or so when I checked it, my advance amount had dropped down to like 25 bucks or something crazy. Checking back that afternoon it had gone up to like 75 and then the next day around 1 it was at 125. Thought about accepting it but really needed 150 or even 200 so held off. Late that night into the next morning it had DROPPED down to like 25 bucks and I was like wtf? It stayed like that until I checked it again that evening and it was back at 125 so I took it immediately lol, I didn't wanna miss my chance again apparently... So frustrating bc I depended on reborrowing that amount or more right back and repaying again next week as was my established pattern for weeks by then. This has been the 4th or 5th weeks doing this now but nothing changed on my end and I wanna know why?? What can I even do to get the legendary 250 amount lol? Seems sketchy at this point and I wonder how many actually are ever approved to get the full 250 each week 🤔

Empower will not let me pay my fee! I know this is a weird thing but it freezes on the pay back swcth. It doesn't even give me a "pay back" choice anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Is this an "on purpose" type of thing about not letting me pay?

Empower took my payment out of my bank but now I can't get into the app or download it for new advance! Really frustrating
