Viewer Points Value

FOX 6 has offered this program because we wanted a system that would give our best viewers the best chances to win cool prizes, free stuff and discounts. We needed a method whereby we could reward most of the viewers of FOX 6 each time they participate with us.

Through the accumulation of Couch Potato® Points, you, as one of our best viewers, will reap the rewards! As your Couch Potato® Points accumulate, here's how you can use them towards free stuff, cash and discounts.

To receive any item offered, simply log in to Couch Potato through www.fox6.com, click "Free Stuff," enter the quantity you wish to purchase and click "Buy." If you have sufficient points and haven't already bought your limit (if any), your purchase will be confirmed and you'll receive an email with instructions for claiming your free stuff or discount. Once you click the "Buy" button, if the transaction is successful, the point amount will be deducted from your Points Account and cannot be returned.
  2. Rewards Auctions and Sweepstakes. Periodically, FOX 6 will offer exclusive benefits and privileges reserved for Couch Potatoes® only. Free movie premieres, sporting events and concerts, private parties and much, much more... in exchange for Couch Potato® Points. Some of these offers will be found on the web site, some will be announced on air or via email. Along with each offer, viewers will be given instructions for bidding points or submitting points surrender offers. All winning bids and point offers will be subject to verification. For auctions, points will be deducted for the winning bidder only. For sweepstakes, points will be deducted as bid, and the points will serve as sweepstakes drawing entries.
  3. Award Level Bids. Periodically, FOX 6 will offer free stuff based on the first person(s) to accumulate a designated level of points. For example, X number of movie passes may be offered to the first person(s) that want to claim them for 10,000 points each.
