Next week is Thanksgiving which means the holidays are literally just around the corner. There are so many things that pop into my head when thinking about the holidays…

* Time to dig out the decorations from the basement and have a decorating day with the kids!

* Let the kiddos start circling their wishes in the shopping catalogs.

* Start planning our holiday baking list… we like to bake for the neighbors.

* Start stalking Black Friday sales and make my list early!

* Break out the holiday scents for my Scensty warmers.

* Schedule a holiday house cleaning from the maid service (aka the older kids… I’m too busy doing everything else!)

* Check my holiday savings and hope it matches the value of the newly created wish lists!

Sound familiar to you? Yep… these activities are re-created in households everywhere.

Heck, the holiday expenses can really add up quickly, especially with a family of six. I am a sale ad stalker. Now with more and more ads being displayed online it’s even easier to comparison shop to get the best deals. Sometimes I even find an even better deal through an online retailer.

If for some unfortunate reason your holiday savings are a little lacking… there is an option for you!

H&R Block recognizes that sometimes a bit of extra money can be the difference.

H&R Block’s Emerald Advance line of credit can help make the holidays – and the entire year – more enjoyable! 

More details on the H&R Block Emerald Advance line of credit:

  • H&R Block will begin accepting applications in offices November 25th so set up your appointment today!
  • All you need to apply is an unexpired government-issued photo ID and your most recent pay stub (no W2 form required!)
  • You don’t already need to be an H&R Block client to apply
  • The Emerald Advance is a line of credit you can draw from as you need it. You can use it year-round for unexpected expenses and other short-term credit needs. It’s that easy!

With H&R Block’s Emerald Advance® line of credit, applicants may be eligible for up to $1,000 without having to jump through lots of hoops.  The application process starts on November 25th which means the line of credit could be available in time for the holidays!

How do I apply?

Emerald Advance will be available in participating offices beginning November 25th

To apply, you will need:

  • Current earnings statement
  • Unexpired government-issued photo ID
  • Your Emerald Card (if you have one)
Benefits of the Emerald Advance
  • Load funds drawn from your line of credit to your H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard® for easy access.
  • Ability to pay down the balance on the Emerald Advance with a portion of your tax refund, if you so choose
  • Access to credit year-round

Whether using Emerald Advance to help cover holiday shopping, travel costs, meal planning or any unexpected expenses that come along throughout the year, being able to draw from a line of credit year-round allows more time for celebrating and less time for worrying!
