At any time (especially when multiple accounts exist in same household or same Internet connection), you may be required to provide a photo ID (drivers license or state-issued ID card) with first/last name, address, and birth date that matches your instapayee account. You must cooperate and provide the requested information before account is reopened and/or reward is issued. Failure to do so may result in reward being held until receipt of requested documents, or indefinitely if no proof is provided. Failure to provide identification does not warrant the creation of a new account. instapayee reserves the right to request ID verification as an attempt to decrease the risk of fraudulent activity. In order to properly verify an account in the presence of no ID verification, instapayee reserves the right to redeem a members points on their behalf via check for that member. Please refer to instapayee Privacy Policy in regards to security precautions to your information.

General Offer Requirements & Terms

You must complete your own offers. You must use your own and valid information (no initials) and at no time should you use someone elses information. All of the information you enter while attempting an offer must be 100% valid and truthful. Anyone using fraudulent information will have their account suspended and points removed.

All email addresses created must be real/valid and cannot be a disposable/temporary email address. You do not have to use the same email address as registered with on the site in order to complete offers. If an offer requires you to confirm email address, it must be confirmed. Please note that not all offers may state to confirm email address while it still needs to be confirmed to receive credit.

Points from any offer, survey, or task valued at 225+ points or any PPC task are frozen for an estimated time frame of 5+ days. Points from credit card (CC), shopping, or trial offers are frozen for an estimated time frame of 14+ days. You may not cancel a CC/trial offer as soon as credit is received, or too early. Depending on the length of the trial offer, you should test/try it out within that time frame. The frozen point process begins once an offer has been credited to your account. Points are released at instapayee's discretion.

Unless otherwise stated, offers are available for first-time customers only. You will not be credited for completing an offer if you have completed it in the past, through instapayee, any other website, completion of or participation in offers, interactions with advertisers, or with the advertiser directly. If you do attempt and receive credit for the same offer, your credit will be removed and returned back to the advertiser.

You should only attempt/complete offers that you are genuinely interested in as not all offers are guaranteed to credit. In addition, if an offer redirects to another site that has nothing to do with the name or description of the offer, it is recommended to not attempt that offer as it is most likely expired, but not yet removed from the system, as no credit would be given for completing it.

For CC/purchase/trial offers - some advertisers have fraud preventive measures in place to not have offers credit where a gift/prepaid card is used. While the transaction may go through on their side and money spent from the gift/prepaid card, credit may not be given. Complete CC/purchase/trial offers at your own discretion.

instapayee does not control offer crediting. The tracking and crediting of offer completions is done via cookies and tracking pixels that report to the advertising agencies, not instapayee. You should ensure that your web browser is set to allow all cookies in order to be properly credited for offers that you attempt. In addition, you should ensure your anti-virus and/or anti-spyware software does not automatically override your web browser's cookie settings. You should only attempt/complete offers that you are genuinely interested in as not all offers are guaranteed to credit. There is no guarantee that a member will receive credit for an offer attempt. You may re-attempt an offer, at a later time, if no credit is given initially. In addition, if an offer redirects to another site that has nothing to do with the name or description of the offer, it is recommended to not attempt that offer. In those instances the offer is likely capped, expired, or unavailable. Attempts made on redirecting offers would result in no credit for completing it. instapayee cannot be held responsible for owing payment to any member for any offer not credited.

In cases of no credit for an offer attempted, at no time should you contact instapayee's direct advertisers. However, you may contact the specific third-party area from where an offer was attempted (example: Matomy Money, Peanut Labs, Radium One) to inquire about a missing credit. Depending on the circumstance involved, you may be blocked from certain offer walls due to our discretion.

Non-Use and Nondisclosure. Information and content made available to you in the Services may contain trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information of suppliers or licensors. You must hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any other person any information and content that you access or learn in connection with your participation in any survey, project, questionnaire, or other market research activity related to the Services. You must not use any such information or content for any purpose other than your participation in the Services in accordance with this Agreement.
