Gift Card Sale?

If you need one more reason to complete offers on InstaGC, consider this: Their gift cards sometimes go on sale, allowing you to obtain one at a discount. At the time of this posting, there are gift card sales on Amtrak Vacations, Applebees, Bass Pro Shops, IMVU, JC Penny, Microsoft Points, Omaha Steaks, Overstock, Riot Points, Under Armour, Wii Points, and Xbox Live Gold. Keep in mind, sales change though— I snagged a $25 Apple Store gift card for 2,250 points or $22.50 worth.

Dubious Sites

So while earning free gift cards on InstaGC, I found a Trialpay offer to sign up for Clickperks. I got paid about 70¢ for the signup, but it seems Clickperks is dubious at best, so while I will enjoying my InstaGC credit (as soon as Trialpay coughs it up), I will not be participating in Clickperks on a regular basis.

Almost...

Having bought all my accessories, I earned almost enough to get another $20 amazon gift card for free. Almost!

Now I Have New Accessories.

I spent my instant gift cards on a new computer only to realize too late I hadn't done so through the InstaGC offer. As it happened, the computer never shipped so I cancelled the order and bought a new one elsewhere. But new computers need new accessories, and my Amazon gift cards and that offer are still there.

So I bought a bigger monitor, new speakers, plus a solid state drive for faster booting. And then some.

$20 Loss Retraction

My ability to get an amazon gift card for free is unimpeded— the $1,000 order was never shipped so I cancelled it and it is now refunded.

So Much For $20

If you want to earn gift cards from your Amazon purchases, InstaGC is the only place you can earn them. Unfortunately, that only works if you actually remember to click the link first.

I didn't.

For a $1,000 purchase.

Costing me $20.

I hope there's some way to fix that.

More Updates

iRazoo has offered pay-to-watch videos for some time, but alas has reduced the payouts from said videos yet again. Initially 2 points per video (or approximately $0.03 per 9 videos), the payout was reduced some time ago to 1 point per video and has now been reduced again to 1 point per 2 videos. On the plus side, they don't seem to mind the use of autowatchers, though I can't officially endorse their use (and I certainly don't use them).

Swagbucks videos remain at 3 Swagbucks ($0.03) per 10 videos, but they've redesigned the video page. It's perfectly functional but I think the old one was a little more convenient. Unlike iRazoo, Swagbucks explicitly forbids the use of autowatchers and actually does ban people for using them, so don't. They also offer pay-to-play games (as in, you get paid for playing, not you have to pay to play them) and recently redesigned that page as well. The redesigned page worked for awhile but of late I'm having problems getting credited for games, at least using Chrome. Perhaps Firefox would be a better choice.

Wincash247 (no link due to bad practices) has promised my overdue payment will arrive by the end of March, but I tend to doubt as much; unless the payment is received I will consider them to be in default. On the plus side, I discovered they have an office in Delaware, so I can sue them for payment if need be.

Memolink has stopped offering games. However, it took me awhile to notice because their games paid next to nothing; it was possible to earn a mere 0.6¢ per day from games, so I rarely bothered to play them.
