InstaGC is a well known and widely used GPT. There are a large number of offer walls available for its users and the selection of offers is refreshed on a regular basis to make sure they are completing and crediting properly. It is set up in a manner that is different in appearance from Swagbucks, but both have roughly the same offers available. If you can earn on Swagbucks, you are very likely to earn with InstaGC as well.
I've been using InstaGC since 2013 and it has thus far been the best site I've ever used. The staff is helpful and quick to sort out any issues you may have and the number of offers available to you is immeasurable and constantly growing.
With InstaGC you have the option of cashing out for either instant gift cards or converting your points to cash, which can be received through a mailed check, direct deposit or Paypal. You can read more about InstaGC on it's own website.

Recommended Routine:
- Sweepstakes:
- Redeem → Sweepstakes → Free Daily Sweeps: For free you can enter once into a drawing for up to 50 points.
- Compete → Decimal Pot: By donating the decimal portion of your current account, you can enter into a weekly sweepstakes whose payout varies based on the number of entrants. It's best to enter when you have a small decimal amount.
- Surveys:
- Earn → Surveys: Has a number of high paying surveys, with a free 1 pt for all disqualifications.
- Earn → Recommended → Peanut Labs & Earn → Recommended → InstaGC → Live Samples I, II and III.
Peanut Lab surveys pay between 10 to 200+ pts, and if you are disqualified you still get 1 pt. The Live Sample surveys have the highest completion rate of all surveys on the website and will always pay 100 pts each time. You can complete them once a day and the surveys change every day. - Videos:
- Earn → Watch Videos on its own takes you to a page where you earn 1 point for every 20 videos watched. There are three playlists to watch from, which can all be running at the same time in the same browser. However, you may not have the same playlist running in more than one place. Points are applied every night in a lump sum at midnight, along with any earned bonuses.
- Earn → Recommended → HyperMX / Volume11 / AdWall / Encrave / EngageMe.tv.
All of these have either simple video playlists to watch or click through and require little work to complete. Value of payout varies on the tsk. - Earn → Recommended → Tasks → InstaGC & Crowdflower.
InstaGC lets you make new blogs and advertise them every week for 25 pts (using something like Blogger). Crowdflower has various jobs that you can do for points. Look for the high paying Crowdflower tasks that are usually surveys -- they don't take long and they pay rather well. Check out this guide to getting better offers on CrowdFlower. - Earn → Recommended → InstaGC → Category: 'CPC'.
These are are the paid-to-click offers that pay you 1 pt to briefly visit a website. Often these will refresh every day so you can come back and keep doing them over and over. - Do a few searches with the all new InstaGC search. You can learn more about it here.
- OPTIONAL: Downloading apps for points. If you have an iPhone, iPad or Android, you can access InstaGC and download apps for pay. Usually each app is worth 20+ pts. Just download, run once, keep till it credits then delete.
Other Tips and Tricks:
- HOLIDAY BONUS:
- The Holiday Bonus is an event that generally runs from October 1st until January 1st. In that time, you have a chance to earn up to 10% bonus on all the points earned by you and your referrals. This means that for every 1000 points you and your referrals earn, you can get up to 100 bonus points. Everyone's bonus percentage can be increased by completed specific goals set on the InstaGC website, and you can redeem your bonus points at any time up until January 1st (so it's best to wait to get your bonus % as high as you can before cashing in.)
- FREE GIFT CARD SUNDAY:
- Usually the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, InstaGC gives away one free Amazon gift card a minute for the entire day. To entire,you must complete a specific task designated by the site.
- CODES:
- Can be found on the InstaGC Facebook page and in the scrolling chat on the side. They often release small point codes on their Facebook page for various things.
- Promote your referral link. InstaGC has (in my opinion) an amazing referral program! The more people you get to sign up under you, the more you can make. So don't be afraid to put yourself out there!
- Check the side bar that automatically updates with offers that have just credited other users. This will show you what to try out if you're out of ideas. You can also see what offers your referrals are doing most often.
- Earn → Recommended → InstaGC → Sort By: 'Most Completed' is also a good place to start when looking for offers to complete. These are the most completed offers on the site and usually have a very high rate of pay out.
- Opt In to the Mailing List: Under your username, go to Account. Then under 'User Info', find your e-mail and the link 'Alerts'. Turn on the 'Mailing List' alerts and every e-mail they send you that you click on is worth one point.
- OPTIONAL: Using a virtual machine such as Sandboxie to complete the download offers. I personally do not do this because I am lazy and too scared to try it out, but others have done this with success. You can try it out but do so at your own risk and with great caution!
