Talk to customer service
- How to withdraw cash from a pay quicker account.
- Card not usable for Amazon purchases.
- They want to know if they can withdraw cash from their bank.
I just wanted to know how to get cash from my pay quicker account. I am not a pissed customer.
I am a grateful customer!
I was not able to use the card for Amazon purchases. I would like to know if I am able to get cash from my bank.

Inability to place my order for the previous mentioned reason
- I have trouble ordering with Advocare.
- A note on shipments asks to contact you if something is not right, and I can't place my order per instructions.
For several years now I believe this is the only problem I have had placing an order with Advocare. Every shipment has a note from Advocare that if anything is not completely right to contact you. I simply was not able to place my order following given instructions.
User's recommendation: Have sales end during the week so customer service can be contacted to clarify ordering products.

I love Advocare's products,especially the vitamin supplements, the Rehydrate & Spark.My problem is with the web site.When I order multiple items,each time I have to go back to the beginning & order
- -Ordering requires starting over; it's frustrating.
- -It's easy to duplicate orders and mistakes.
- -Rehydrate and Spark taste good and work.
There must be a better way to place the order instead of starting all over each time. It gets very frustrating & it is easy to makes mistakes by duplicating something ornate ordering what you intended.
Other than that the products like Rehydrate & Spark taste really good &;they really work. I will keep ordering these good products.
User's recommendation: But Advocare.Their products work.

Avid Supporter and user from 2014 to 2020
- I have immune issues and MNC 3 Line worked better for me.
- Advocare pulled MNC 3 Line and offered a weaker, costlier option with fewer capsules.
I am a person with immune issues
I found the MNC 3 Line which contained key components that worked better for me than most orthodox products . With no warning to advocare customers what so ever Advocare pulled all mns3 and its counter parts with a week replacement line which had no benefit for compromised immune system weight management or energy support .
It took out more than three or 4 of the key capsules in individual wrapped packets and made a weak cs video saying customers ask advocare to offer mns3 with less capsules and less price. Well read the mns3 reviews on Advocare the former users of Advocare mns 3 say nothing like that.
about 1 million 1 start reviews hating that Advocare destroyed a 100 percent product and offered a drug store quality replacement brand and charged more than the original mens 3 . I am still looking for a reading brand product replacement for mens 3sorry you will never know what mens 3 was really likesorry you will never know what mns3 was really like
User's recommendation: not this line

Verified ReviewerSevere muscle cramps
- Used the product for years and had muscle cramps.
- Cramps stopped after stopping the product.
- Cramps returned after reintroducing the product.
I've used the product for years. When I began experiencing muscle cramps I assumed it may have been related to early stages of menopause.
I lost a tremendous amount of weight but I also walked alot. I stopped taking the product and the cramps ceased over time.
I started consuming the product again. (All the basics/common products) and the cramps came back.
Preferred solution: Facts, treatment

I love slim peach/mango
- Request to make slim products less sweet.
- They find the products too sweet.
- Mixed berry flavor tastes like Kool-Aid.
- Just use less Sucralose.
Is there any way possible you can make the slim products LESS sweet.
They are over the top to sweet. We have all been in diets in our lives.
Less is so much better. The mixed berry is like drinking kool aide.
Just use less Sucralose. Please
- Product to sweet

Talk to your doctor first
- -Spark unknown side effects and liver risk.
- -Catalyst hair loss and needs low protein.
- -Follow a doctor's orders, not distributor advice.
I am flabbergasted by the unknown side effects of this medicine. My friend has breast cancer, was religiously drinking Spark.
The distributor out right lied to her face that she will "feel better" when in fact after she did at first due to the large amount of caffeine. But she became sick to her stomach, could barely function. Come to find out this product affects the liver. It could've killed her as suddenly it spread to her liver.
Please don't go on ANYTHING without a doctor's approval. Also, I agree with the woman who posted about her bi polar. I have been diagnosed with Severe Panic Disorder and PTSD. After taking Spark first day I had an extreme panic attack, blood pressure through the roof, heart rate way too high, doctor said caused from the ingredients in this.
Because I had medicine, I got ok. But no one should need to go to the ER from this as that was a $500 expense. Also, not as serious but should be known, Catalyst causes hair loss and will barely work unless you eat very little protein which in st recommended according to scientific researchers. Not to freak people out, but see a doctor before you start these products, someone who knows your body, and understands what you need.
There are no medical doctors to talk to behind Advocare products. As a company, they just don't have them. I'm trying not to take my anxiety meds as much, but if I continued these products, I could've suffered from addiction due to the fact they are only taken "as needed" Needing them way too much due to a ridiculous supplement would've been extremely dumb.
Please be careful. Follow doctor orders not what your distributor says.

They do not stand behind their product
- Bought two Spark cans; one was lumpy with a foul odor.
- They refused returns on unopened and used canisters; customer service was poor.
I purchased two canisters of spark and when I began using one of the canisters, it became lumpy and took on a foul odor. They would not let me return or exchange the unopened canister or the original canister of which I only used 1/4 of it.
I was not longer a distributor. Bad customer service and they do not stand behind their product.
Preferred solution: Full refund

AdvoCare made me ill
First and foremost I am a very active person, I am a drywall finisher so I'm constantly on the go. I took AdvoCare about 4 years ago the slim program and it worked.
I just started the 24 day challenge and boy o boy..... I got through the cleanse, which was ok but you definitely can not drink alcohol with this. Learned the hard way....ugh so I just started the max. The first day was ok all the supplements I didn't hit my system yet.
By day three I was extremely sick. I was nauseous dizzy low grade fever felt hungry all the time almost like I had the flu. Let me reassure you I did not have the flu. I am going to stop taking the pills because I feel like they will put me in the hospital.
I'm not sure what happened within the four years of taking these supplements but I'm sure that's something has changed in them. I would not recommend this product!!!!
