Can you get a PCS advanced payment if you are using a Government Travel Card (GTC)?

I am doing a full dity move and when I talked with my finance office they said there are no advances since I can use the GTC. Anybody have any idea if they are correct? He wasn't 100% sure that's why I am asking. Thanks

Here's some info on that topic, SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member, at DFAS:

It seems to say that advances are authorized for DITY moves:

"Member and dependent travelers can get up to 80% of per diem and mileage allowance if the government travel card is not being used, DLA equal to 100% of the anticipated entitlement, and PPM / DITY moves get an amount calculated by their transportation office."

Advances

after reporting and finishing the travel and all that and with this new rules of GCC do we still get the remaining money from a PPM move when reporting at the other end?
