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.

Love this site!!!

December 5, 2018 by Stephanie from United States

I have been a member of this site since 2012 and have made a little over $6k in that time. I can easily make $5-$10 a day and have loads of cash out options.

The instant part of receiving gift cards is awesome! After that, the site fails. Support consists of canned messages. Anytime a survey or some offer is completed and not credited, myself and other members have also told me they submit a support ticket only to be met with the same canned message which is within their main guidelines page. If you try to reply and say anything to elaborate and explain yourself further they give you a passive aggressive remark that is worded in a way as if it is helpful, making it even worse. 'Refusing to help you? How so? Please clarify.' Upsetting. No effort is ever made to actually help, only to "handle" you. It's set up so that if you get cheated out of credit, your out of luck. If you complain in chat, you get banned, you're not allowed to mention other website, i mean any website. You're not allowed to mention politics or complain in general, no swearing, certain words arent even allowed. You can't talk about the outside world in general, who are these people? When i started the site there we're a handful of members i saw in chat with the same basic name, family name i suppose, now gone. hmmm maybe they just changed their names. I also feel often they're narrow minded and intolerant to most people based on the weird situation I've had to endure on the site and that they're just basically intolerant to accepting that humanity needs to be tolerant of others opinions and freedom of speech which is violated on this site by the way. Hence, the banning from chat. If you mention anything that's going wrong in any way you get banned. Well other members have a right to know if something is crediting. Not worth someone's time. Ive quit the site because I've been ripped off of so much money ( points that i should've been awarded ) I should be reimbursed double what ive made over the time ive worked on the site. I'd noticed a few names in chat not appearing after a bit, here and there, and i wonder where is so and so? Well, either banned, quit or one first then the other lol

Amazing

I can make $10-$15 a day on this site! It is amazing. I love that you can cash out instantly and there is no waiting! Thank you Instagc!

No credit for completing offers

October 24, 2018 by Dusty from United States

InstaGC appeared to be a neat new site that I could use to answer questions and complete offers on. I signed up for a gamefly trial and was told that I would receive my offer credit within 2 hours. Well, a few days went by and I still had not received my credit so I reached out to InstaGC report as mentioned in the disclaimer. I was told to send Acorn (company providing the offer) a message and to wait 5 days. If I did not receive a response within 5 days, I was told to contact InstaGC again. After following these directions, InstaGC told me that I just needed to wait more time. How did we go from 2 hours to 8 days? If Acorn is not going to follow through on their promise then why would you promote their site on your site. Needless to say, I never received my credit. Stay away from InstaGC. You will waste your time completing offers and will not receive credit for it.

Next time a customer reaches out and has a problem, don't tell them to wait longer. Reach out to the offending company (Acorn) and see what is going on.

Slow to earn; quick to suppress

October 21, 2018 by Etienne from United States

The site works, but it takes a lot of time to earn anything worthwhile. Furthermore, their chat room will ban ANYONE referencing any other way to make money. Granted, it's their right to do so, but when you only interact with the site online and have no recourse to fair treatment, it's disconcerting. Swagbucks is a faster way to earn money and is a bit more fair about what members are "permitted" to post in communicating with one another.
