I got mine last week. The Credit Karma card actually isn't bad tbh. No fees and you can use it anywhere visa is accepted

kinda sus that they force you to use their bank now ngl 🤡

waited 2 weeks for my card to come and missed out on the advance anyway bc my transcript had some random hold. wish i knew that before applying smh

Pro tip: you can add the virtual card to Apple/Google pay as soon as approved and start using it immediately instead of waiting for physical card
