INSTAGC.COM REVIEW

I have been a user of InstaGC for close to a year now, and have decided to review it for people who might either be curious as to how it works and IF it works. Just to start this out on a good note, it has been a primary source of side income for me. It's one of the best survey sites that I've used to date. I'll break down the site for everyone so you get a better understanding of how to site as a whole works. 

InstaGC works off of a points system- which means you gather points by doing surveys, small offers, trial offers, clicks, shopping online, and many other things
For every point = 1 cent
10 points = 10 cents
100 = 1 dollar
200 = 2 dollars
1000 = 10 dollars
(I'm sure you get the point.)
Their 'Guides' page says what to do and how to navigate the site easily, which is really helpful when you're new to the site. There's a chat on the page at all times, so if there are any questions they'll be answered very quickly by the Mods in the chat. They will more than likely refer you to the Guides page unless it's a specific question. There are actual people in the chat, having everyday conversation so feel free to jump in and talk to people. There are rules to the chat however, one of them being to not link any outsides links to other websites/share personal information. The rest are listed on the site within the chat box, but it's just basic common sense what to say and what not to say. 

Onto the surveys; the best ones are the daily surveys. They can be found on the main offer page within many of the offer walls. InstaGC has their own offer wall where you can do daily surveys, which in my opinion is the best way to rack up quick points next to the Peanut Labs surveys (which pop up daily). A lot of the InstaGC Daily Surveys range from 50-135 points. They have at least 20+ daily surveys you can take which leaves a lot of opportunity to rack up point fairly fast. The survey length is honestly a 50/50 on how long they will be. Some are short and easy, some are long and can take up to 40 minutes. But if you want to kill time and make money, it is indeed worth it. Peanut Labs is another good offer wall for Daily Surveys, because the surveys (most, anyway) are pretty short (ranging from 5-15 minutes, if that.) From 10-50 points per survey, there is an ample amount of chances to rack up points. TrialPay, OfferToro, Paymentwall, and RadiumOne are good walls for offers as well. TrialPay and Paymentwall have quite a few options available as far as daily surveys go. Trial offers and others can be completed as well, even offers to buy a product; which I personally have not done yet, none of the offers that require purchase appeal to me. But some people have done it and successfully acquired the points for it so it is an option. I do complete the sign-up offers for the easy points, but there are some that probably won't credit and are a little scammy feeling. Those would be the offers for gift cards to restaurants/retail stores that require an email at the beginning and your other personal information. If you enter your phone number, chances are you'll be getting spammy phone calls from a random person working for a company offering to sell you things. Not really worth it in my book. I'd sooner stick to my daily surveys for points. There are studies on the InstaGC wall you can complete as well. 

My personal experience with InstaGC has been great. I've made $140+ in the past year on and off doing surveys and offers. You can cash out your points in as little as 100 to get a $1 Amazon gift code. There's a huge selection of gift cards for all kinds of different places and things on there, it's pretty awesome. I mainly go for Amazon gift codes and Direct Deposits to my bank account. Paypal payouts aren't an option, however. So if that's what you're going for, I suggest Opinion Outpost- but I'll make a separate blog about that. All in all; I really like InstaGC for making things as simple as possible to earn money online. It's in no way a 'job', but if you don't have one- money is money and this is a great way to earn it.

I'll leave a link if you'd like to sign up and check it out!
DISCLAIMER:
Just remember, you will not qualify for every survey you attempt to take. They are looking for a certain demographic for different surveys. Don't be discouraged if you don't qualify, just keep doing them, you'll get them! :)

Thanks for reading.
