Instagc- Survey Site (A legit one! I got 100 bucks in 4 months)

Archive: 42 posts

Oh hi. I asked jww for permission and he said it was cool, just saying

So, I've been doing a bunch of surveys on a bunch of different sites to get amazon credit (for the past year saving up for a PS4), and by far the best site by far is Instagc.

Basically, you can complete surveys and other tasks in order to get credit which you can use for pretty much anything, from amazon to walmart to restaurants. And getting enough credit is easy. You can take Livesurveys which give a dollar and five cents each, and two of those a day. I've been cashing in about 2 or 3 bucks a day. Which may not seem like a lot, but considering it's time I also spend just browsing the computer and multitasking, it really is a great way to get gift cards for, well, anything. Over the four months I've been signed up, I've gotten 100 dollars from this one site alone. You don't get any spam emails, the only emails I get are confirmations of the tons of gift cards I get.

If you do decide to sign up, I recommend doing the aforementioned livesurveys, as well as CrowdFlower tasks. Other surveys should be from Peanutlabs (huh, what a coincidence) which give about 40 cents per completed survey, but also 1 cent for every survey you skip.

It does take a bit of time, but if you are just planing on sitting there anyway, it is a good way to get money for whatever in your spare time. So yeah! Any questions or concerns, I'd try to clear them up.

instaGC.com (http://www.instagc.com/295202) was created in February 2011 and is the top rewards site that offers instant gift cards to its members. Over 100 different options are available (example of a few -> Amazon, eBay, League of Legends, Pizza Hut, Target, Walmart) that you can redeem your points for. Tons of easy offers available with new ones added daily. There are daily, weekly, and monthy offer and referral contests as well.		2014-08-13 21:28:00

If they use me as a referrer, I get 10 cents automatically, as well as 10 percent of everything the person ever makes.

At no expense to the referee, of course.

Yeah... sorry. I looked it up on Google to check if it was a scam or not and then clicked on the Google link, completely forgetting your link.
Sorry bout that... :blush:		2014-08-13 23:32:00

It's oky, you just cheated me out of 10 cents and 10 percent of everything you ever made. Not that big a deal

Anyway, ask me if you have any questions		2014-08-13 23:34:00

A lot of these offers want my e-mail. I think I can trust instaGC, but I can't really trust any of these shady websites that it's linking me to.		2014-08-13 23:42:00

you can set up an email accnt just for this type of thing. I have an email that is basically just a spam catcher. If I sign up for a rewards type thing or something like that, then I give them that email.

I would advise only using these sites as far as you feel comfortable with. I tend to stick to surveys and videos and leave the off site offers alone.2014-08-14 00:02:00

Good idea! I'll make another account, but use Rock's link this time!



I'll do it later though. 		2014-08-14 00:03:00

Yeah, this, that's what I do.

For this, do Live Samples, crowdflower, hypemx videos, and peanutlabs. Those are safe		2014-08-14 00:09:00

LOL, I have like 6 tabs open plus my pw isn't saved on email on this PC so had to go find password, then got sidetracked LMAO at another thread, but have it confirmed now.

Wait! Where are you? If I turn around, are you going to be there?		2014-08-14 00:10:00

OK, here's the thing.

I'll cut you a deal. If I sign up using your link, you give me 50% of everything you earn directly from my actions, right?
That means, I get five cents and 5% of what I earn. Wait a minute... What if I made an account and made another account using me as a reference... Hmmm.

In other news, I have $14 in a US amazon account that I can't use because I live in the UK. So, if anyone (in the US) has a birthday approaching...		2014-08-14 00:33:00

I did try that just after I posted as I do have a US account. For some reason I can't seem to check my Amazon Wallet so I'll keep you all updated. I was thinking, it might be worth using for some sort of give-away or contest.		2014-08-14 22:18:00

There's several companies out there that conduct market research through the internet. To actually get a decent quantity of responses they offer small rewards for each survey answered that can be cashed out for vouchers at a certain level.

You'll often get things like energy suppliers and grocery stores asking about your shopping habbits and what you think can be improved or asked your opinion on potential new products like would you buy this weird new flavour of drink and sometimes look at this trailer for an upcoming film which parts do you like/dislike and why.		2014-08-16 02:24:00

Would it be possible to spare a $30? ;]

Makes sense, I just wish there was something less 'shady'.

I remember doing something like this back in 2010 when my high school did a senior trip. We went to Florida, and it was either in Disney or Universal (leaning more to it possibly being Universal) there was a section that paid paid you (I think 50 bucks (could be wrong)) for watching an unaired pilot to a show.

I'd love to do that for easy money instead of using sites like this.		2014-08-16 03:49:00

Its more than you would get from other survey sites but obviously much less than you would get from a real job.

I've used them to cover the cost of most of my games for the last few years and to pay for my PS4.

You're not going to get rich quick doing surveys but it's enough for a little bonus cash if you don't mind the box ticking involved.		2014-08-17 11:16:00

Yeah, I tend to multitask, so like I do this stuff while surfing the internet and playing my PS3. I also get some money from other sites, so it's more than 100 dollars in 4 months, this is just the best site.2014-08-17 14:20:00

well I'm getting a little frustrated with this site. I click on a survey to do, spend 20 minutes doing it and it then switches to a new survey where you spend another 10 or so minutes answering questions, only for it to stop and say, "We're sorry, you don't qualify for this survey." This has been happening over and over and over again. I've only been able to complete 6 so far and it's very irritating. Maybe I just have to figure out what answers they DO want so that I "qualify" to answer questions.

EDIT: Tried for over 2 hours today. Offers completed - 0. This may just be a big waste of my time. I believe I might be able to earn more collecting cans on the side of the highway.		2014-08-17 23:27:00

Ive done a couple of tasks and received points for them. Easy tasks that just took like 2min max. I have a question, when you redeem your points, like for an amazon gift card, will they email you the code or.... (btw I see by posting this thread you got yourself a whooping 25 points :b)2014-08-18 11:56:00

This is the one messing up for me the most. I guess I'll try and stick to those smaller offers for a while. I absolutely won't do any of those that say to download this or that program though. Well, maybe at work 		2014-08-18 14:33:00
