Buzz Channel offers three different types of prize draws.

Survey Prizes:
For some surveys Buzz Channel randomly select a specified number of Survey Respondents who will win a prize or prize voucher. This is detailed at the beginning of any survey which is offering prizes or prize vouchers.

Monthly Prizes:
In the first week of each month a randomly selected Survey Respondent is drawn from all the surveys that were completed in the preceding month and will win the monthly prize(s) (the “Monthly Prize”). The details of each Monthly Prize will be clearly communicated on the Buzz Channel website. Every time a Survey Respondent completes a survey within a month, that Survey Respondent will get one entry in that month's monthly draw. Monthly Prizes may vary in number, value and type, and may cease to be offered at any time.

Donations to groups, schools, clubs, and charities
If you nominate that the contribution generated by your completion of a survey should go to a Fundraising Group this cannot be treated as a donation for tax purposes.

Shopping Vouchers
If you nominate that the contribution generated by your completion of a survey should go towards a Shopping Voucher of your choice the following terms apply:

Each time you complete a survey for Buzz Channel, Buzz Channel will credit your Voucher Reward Total with the number of Points (Bee Points) that Buzz Channel have offered in the invitation email for the completion of that survey.

No Bee Points are offered for participation in ‘Have Your Say’ surveys and these surveys will be clearly communicated when the survey invitation is emailed to you.

When your Voucher Reward Total reaches 2000 or more Bee Points you can click on the 'Request Voucher' link in your membership area to request Buzz Channel to send you a voucher from the Buzz Channel voucher list. When you do this we will ask for your current postal address and this address will only be used to mail you your Voucher.

Vouchers will only be issued in multiples of $20 so Buzz Channel will reset your Voucher Reward Total by the equivalent Bee Points value of the amount of the voucher or vouchers issued to you. This may leave you with a remaining Voucher Reward Total.

Vouchers will be mailed to you within 90 days of Buzz Channel receiving your request.

Buzz Channel reserves the right to vary the value of Bee Points and the number of Bee Points offered for any survey..

At any time prior to you requesting your voucher, you may log in to your membership area and transfer the amount in your Voucher Rewards Total to a Fundraising Group or nominated school.

If you don't complete at least one survey in each 18 month period Buzz Channel reserves the right to expire your Points or cancel your membership, meaning any amounts accrued in your Shopping Voucher total can be cancelled.
