Before anyone else signs up for Insta GC--- BEWARE!

I signed into my account while at a hotel in Mexico.

I was unable to sign-in, and I contacted support telling them that I was visiting Mexico and staying at a hotel to access my account. They said that they've disabled my account and in order for me to reactivate it, they're requiring me to email them a copy of my driver's license to reactivate the account. Really?

I wish I was making that up, but that beyond INSANE paranoia is apparently how Insta GC does business.

I could understand if InstaGC was some sort of bank, but they're not.

Heck, I had no issue my bank in Mexico, but instead a rewards program is concerned about identity issues?

At this point I strongly discourage ANYONE from using this rewards program that has such absurd paranoia.
