Yeah, got mine in about 3 business days.
You have to file online and have it direct deposited into a checking or savings account.

That's called "puffing up" and it's perfectly legal for them to say.
You will NEVER get your refund this quickly unless you file electronically, and you have to meet the IRS cycle just right. I figured it out while I was working in a VITA office, let's see if I can remember:
One week's worth of tax forms are sent out to banks in a batch on Friday night one full week after you file, and the deadline to make it into a batch is the end of the business day in your area Wednesday night (5:00 pm, I think).
So if you can get in under the wire on Wednesday, you're going to get it in two Fridays (9 days later).
Your bank also has to be cooperative, and some aren't. They have to actually grab that refund after their own business hours and put it into your account before they go away for the weekend.
If you miss the deadline or have a not-so-cooperative bank, you'll get a few more days of delay. If you have ANY problem with the information on your return, like a wrong social, you're hosed. You have to get it right before you get the thing moving.
I mention this because it's a very common problem for married women who fail to notify the Social Security Administration of their name change. This is probably the most common reason for the rejection. The IRS matches the SSA info against your return, and if it doesn't match, the IRS doesn't know who you are and your return gets kicked back.
(I've noticed that you already have two answers claiming 3 or 4 days. I wonder if they paid a loan fee for those? You can actually get it faster--for a price. For example H & R Block will loan against your refund the day you fill out your return as long as you have no liens on your taxes.)

I got mine in 4 days last year. E-filed on Sunday and it was in my account on Thursday morning.
