I've used this site for some time and it was great until this year when redeem cards became almost imposible. It's too bad, it used to be good, but now if I could could give it less then 1 star I would. I would recomend staying away, I would assume it's going to close soon.
This company screwed me, and many others, I don't recommend, hard or impossible to withdraw, a fraud, a scam. Best to go to: Swagbucks or Earnably instead.
The support accused me about having two accounts which no! I also earn 200 dollars on the site account then got banned for no reason 30 dollars and whole lotta time wasted! Use at your own risk. Not to mention almost 50% of sites will disqualify you.
Just totally rude with members! This is so unprofessional! Administrators need to look into this mod. He or she abuses users with nasty snide remarks. I am just a long spectator but ugh makes me not want to use this site!
I wish I never stumbled upon this company. I joined up and with poor customer service and low payouts on the tasks/surveys there is only one word that describes my experience with them.
"Disappointing"
This site will have you waste your time, money, and effort just to lock you out of the points you earn. Their support will leave you hanging for weeks on end. Do not trust or use their site. Complete scam.
They offer a lot of great ways to make money, more than most, and offer so many ways to redeem your points. They are the only site like this that ive seen offer direct deposit paypal bitcoin and hundreds of gift cards. The support is a little slow at responding to issues at times, but dont be impatient or get upset because i learned that they will get to it with time. I gave them a hard time and they kept it completely professional regaurdless of me being unfair. Overall great site.
They froze my account so that i couldnt cash out my money after a misunderstanding even though i never broke any rules or regulations. I explained my situation and they ignored me. Its not a little money either its 65$ that i spend so long working towards! I explained how i have broken no rules and still no answer. They have the worst customer service ive ever experienced. Dont waste your time! I spent weeks on that money just for them to screw me. Ill be making a few calls to report fraud and anything else necessary to make my point to them. Swagbucks or prizerebel are the sites to use if youre looking. Ive never dealt with this with them. They dont freeze your account so you can still earn money just not cash it out. What a joke! Just screams scam.
Site used to be good, but has gotten really shady and bad in the last year. I cashed out for an Amazon gift card and they reversed and stole my earnings. The site says the reversals were for "Your Surveys" despite the fact that I have not earned using the "Your Surveys" function and made the credit using personal.ty clicks and Tap Research instead.
This is not the first time they have pulled this, reversing all of my earnings for something I did not even use on the site, and instagc just claims they don`t have responsibility and "Your Surveys" is responsible for the reversals, despite the fact that I have not used "Your Surveys" for nearly any of my earnings for months now.
First they have you send a copy of your ID, then they ask for more than that (a second ID or even a copy of a utility bill). It's almost as if they're trying to discourage you from joining. Okay, so I cleared those roadblocks. Then they took forever to pay me. And I noticed something; the more I took surveys the greater the percentage of surveys they gave me that told me I wasn't a match AFTER I already completed it. The way the scam works is they get paid by the advertisers because the survey is completed but they avoid paying me my share by saying I wasn't a match. Very dodgy site run by very dodgy people.
This is the worst website you can sign up to make money. The staff is very rude and ignorant.
They ask you to provide an ID so they can tell if you are real. I provided 3 Identification documents, including my passport. As soon as I did they started to ignore me and haven't responded to my messages for 4 days. Remember they say account review takes less than 48 hours.
How hard is it to look at an ID and be like yup legit, activate account? You need 2 days to look at an ID? And why do they ignore you?
If you ask for an update they will ignore you more. I have attached the support tickets so you can see I am not lying.
Update: Account is now fixed and I got all my points back. Thanks
Just because you were impatient doesn't mean your ID was stolen. Support tickets are addressed as soon as possible. Updating a ticket that we haven't had a chance to review or respond to, or creating multiple tickets could delay a response back to you. Your ticket has now been updated and you can proceed with participating.
I came across instaGC when i was randomly searching how to make money or gift cards online lol. This site popped up. I thought it was a scam at first but as I got more comfortable with it I realized it was a great place to earn extra money on the side. Especially now that they have their direct deposit feature.
I've been using insta for a little over a year or so now. And i am not stopping any time soon. Thanks insta!
Love it. Quick food money or gas. Doing surveys or apps or videos. A definite 100 score. Online mods are also very helpful. Kid friendly chat as well.
This website banned me for no reason when I tried to reach my goal and I didn't break any rules. Do not waste your time on this website. I'd give zero stars
I've been earning with InstaGC for years without any real problems apart from being very slow and almost backward/$#*!ed in processing Paypal payments.
Originally for some reason when I registered my details my daughter's name was used, and although it was my fault for not checking, nobody from InstaGC questioned it and I cashed out without any problems.
However just recently support questioned this and after a long-winded explanation, they said it was not a problem and I cashed out again.
A few weeks ago I tried to cash out $6 to PayPal which I've told has been rejected and points returned to my account... Why?. Because of this name thing again!
I have honestly never heard such a big deal made out of such a small issue in my life!
Firstly support is rude and uses childish gibberish comments such as 'flip-flopping' between names'... obviously support are very uneducated in both grammar and professionalism.
Secondly, NO points have been returned so this is a big lie on their part, not to mention immoral and illegal too! And they know it!
If I am not allowed to cash out my points then why is InstaGC still allowing me to work for them? - it's obvious - because I am making them money! - which is why it is illegal.
Luckily for me, I own a blog with a following and am on countless money-making sites on social media, so InstaGC and going to get hit left right, and center with the worst reviews possible!
My advice is to stay away from this scum of a site!
I made over $1,000 last year, so I can't complain. At times you get frustrated with certain apps blocking you, but overall this has been the best survey/rewards site for me. The two LiveSample surveys a day have really been a boost to my totals. This month I am over $70 so far, and January is my worst month.
They always deduct points from my account without justification and also several times a day didn't award points after completion of a survey. Really disappointed.
Eventually everyone gets banned for hacking or bots or fraud or whatever their falvor is this week, problem is most people they ban like myself have no clue how to do any of those things, so they just let you do the work, get paid then refuse to pay you and make stupid claims, scummy website run by scummy people!
I completed an offer for 3,100 points which equals to a $31 gift card. My points were frozen. I was told that in a week they would be added to my account, after that week I was told a month. Something about them wanting to make sure the offer wall would credit the points. Its now been over 33 days, my points are still frozen and not been released to my account. I've put in numerous support tickets, and sent many messages on their facebook page as well as to the support team. I have not gotten a response in 3 weeks, I keep being ignored. I even emailed the offer wall that the completed offer come from and gave them all the information and screen shots, i was emailed back by them informing me that they credited my points in INSTAGC.COM a week ago, but yet they still won't release my points. Still won't respond to me either, even after I told them I know the points were credited. So, be careful their support team is trash and I had to even contact the BBB and another company that's reaching out to them now...
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. I deleted my account as your customer service is terrible. It shouldn't take a review in order to get your company to do something about an issue.
Hi - it doesn't take a review in order to get something done about an issue. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but you didn't give it much time. Anyways, take care!
Surveys are a constant problem. Complete surveys and then you are told did not qualify. Didn't know that at the start? InstaGC blames everything on everyone but themselves. Do they not have the power to not accept the business of companies that do not pay for completed surveys? Of course they do. They, InstaGC, treats you as badly as the survey companies! No, do not tell me I did not want them to work. Are you as stupid as InstaGC?
Answer: I've had my points frozen for 33 days now. I've been ignored with no response on any of tbh support tickets I've put in, and even contacted the offer wall that I completed the offer on and they told me they credited the points to instagc a couple of weeks ago. Support is trash and I'm reporting everything with all my proof of being ignored, them still having my points froze and the offer wall even saying they paid already. This was a game offer too.
InstaGC has a rating of 1.7 stars from 39 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with InstaGC most frequently mention and gift card. InstaGC ranks 258th among Work At Home sites.
Sorry to hear but thank you for your feedback.
