instaGC is a GPT (get-paid-to) website where you can earn gift cards and cash in exchange for watching videos, testing apps, shopping, and completing tasks and surveys. Members of the website are called "instaGC'ers".

How instaGC Works

instaGC earning opportunities

Simply create an account on instaGC's website using your Twitter, Facebook or Google accounts (or just sign up using your e-mail on their registration page), and participate in the following activities to accrue points which you can then cash out for rewards:

  • Complete Surveys

    instaGC lists a fair number of surveys available at any given time. If you attempt some and get disqualified, you will still be awarded one point. This doesn’t sound like much, but daily, this can really add up.
  • Complete Appen tasks

    Rack up points by completing small tasks on Appen. Simply follow the instructions in your account, and earn points for doing small things such as data entry, internet research, etc.
  • Participate in Offers

    Download programs and software to earn additional credits.
  • Search the web

    Use instaGC’s search engine in place of what you currently use, and earn additional points every day.
  • Partake in Trials

    Sign up for trial offers where you can try out a product or service for a set time period (such as one week). Earn points for your participation.
  • Visit Websites

    Earn easy points just for visiting different websites from advertisers on the website for short periods of time.
  • Watch Videos

    Watch short videos and earn additional points.
  • Enter Promo Codes

    Enter 'Point Booster Codes' into your account in order to get free points. These codes are typically worth 3-5 points and are posted periodically on instaGC's social media pages.
  • Sign up friends, and earn more

    Refer your friends and earn 10% of any earnings that your referrals earn (outside of instaGC tasks as well as bonuses received). Additionally, earn 10 bonus points for each person who signs up and confirms their account and is from Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, or United States.

Payment and Rewards

instaGC giftcards

Gift Cards

As the name implies, instaGC offers gift cards to its members as a reward for their participation. In most Western nations, a wide selection of gift card options is available including ones for use on Groupon, at BestBuy, Starbucks, Amazon, and many, many more. Amazon gift cards are available in USA, Canada, UK, and most European countries. Overall, gift card selections are best in these countries and in total, over 300 gift card options exist..

instaGC cash rewards

Cash, bitcoin and more

In early 2016, instaGC added cash as a redemption option which allows you to exchange your points for cash payments made through bitcoin, PayPal, or a Visa prepaid card. Cash payments carry a small processing fee which is waived for your first monthly cash redemption. So to save on fees, limit your redemptions to once per month.

Points Conversion

100 points = $1 US/CAD, 160 points = 1 pound, 130 points = 1 Euro. Keep in mind however, that conversion rates can fluctuate based on foreign exchange rates.

Cash out minimums

You may request a reward with as little as 100 points ($1.00) in your account. Rewards and payments for most users are issued instantly, however if you have racked up a larger balance (usually 10,000 points or more) and wish to withdraw it all at once, you may have to wait 1-2 business days to receive your reward. At any time, you can check your daily redemption limit by clicking the 'Limits' option in your account.

Member's Tip! Watch out for “sales” on gift cards. The savings on these is usually 10%, meaning that by selecting certain gift cards, you will need 10% fewer points.

Its Ok, But I Wouldn't Recommend !!!

March 18, 2020 by roderick from United States

InstaGC is an ok site, they pay quickly and have instant paypal but I wouldn't recommend it. It's very hard to earn when you're in need or want to make some quick cash. The "freezing point", is okay with me because I understand they want to protect they platform from fraud. But waiting 2 months or longer for points is ridiculous. Especially when I have good offer history with no reversals. I did an 736 point offer on 1/9 and as of today 3/16, its still on hold and I'm being told because they haven't got paid yet. Even paid my money for it. But any of my other offers they released with no problems. Even offers under 225 points go on hold. I wouldn't recommend it, I had to close my account today. I really think they should give people with good sufficient offer history more slack. There are better sites I use like superpay, prizerebel that are way better with no holds

$6,484.86 Earned

October 25, 2019 by Kay from United States

All GPT sites are pretty much the same. They hook us up with offers that we can complete in order to get points towards rewards. I've found instaGC to more often than not pay the most for offers, over other sites. Plus there's an awesome chat. I've earned $6,484.86 with em. Love the site!

Purposefully Limits Users

March 25, 2019 by Avion from United States

This site purposefully pushes users towards surveys despite having the alternative of watching videos for points.

Spent nearly a month leaving their video player up on my desktop (and clicking at my own convenience when I needed to hit play to continue the playlist) and my account was flagged, so now I can only watch a few videos at a time before I get an error message that says 'This player is restricted from playing videos.' Sometimes I don't even get to see a single video and get the error immediately after days of not watching.

I switched to HIDEOUTTV and after I redeemed my first gift card, I suddenly have a daily limit on HIDEOUT. I tried the other video players but even after removing my adblocker completely I keep getting adblock errors and are unable to watch them.

I originally focused on watching ads to get points because the surveys were pointless. I only qualified for a small amount and never got more than 8 or 9 points for nearly 30 minutes of time, so rather than waste that time I did videos since they can play in the background. When I first joined I didn't have a job and plenty of free time to click when needed to; my range of videos ranged from 150-200 a day on weekdays and 250-350 on weekends.

And when redeeming my first reward, because my account was flagged after watching too many videos consecutively I had to submit a ticket to put my account back into 'good standing' because of it being flagged.

At first this website was promising but now that I'm being limited for being productive, it's just a waste of my time. I'll no longer be using it and redeem what I can from it.

Started receiving daily SPAM after signing up

January 22, 2019 by Maria from Canada

After I signed up, I starting receiving spam every day, from dirty websites such as dating. I'm a woman, and these dirty spam emails are meant for men, so I know InstaGC is linked to passing my email address on to others. Also, I did some surveys, made very little as it's mostly unpaid screeners. I watched TV streams for a few hours, never got any credit. I tried Figure 8 tasks, and they're so poorly paid that you're better off on Amazon mturk. InstaGC was quick to cancel my account as I had requested, however, I continue to receive daily SPAM from dirty sources

InstaGC rude and unfair

December 10, 2018 by Jeremy from United States

So I actually have been doing good with the surveys but the people running the site are not only rude in our talks but banned me from the chat just for talking about dq points from survey panels. I have been banned since Sunday meanwhile I am watching numerous people say the same thing and they aren't banned then I asked them why and was treated so poorly and on top of that I made enough to cash out $25 and they blocked me from cashing out and also are ignoring my support ticket! And this is sad because you can actually earn on the site but what good is it when they will use any excuse to shut you down?
