Loyalty Program

The RokuChannel Loyalty Program rewards you for engaging with the platform. The more you learn and shop, the more points you earn -- and those points translate into real savings and exclusive benefits.

How to Earn Points:

  • Purchases: Earn 10 points per dollar spent in the store (20 points for Premium subscribers)
  • Watching Content: Earn 5 points for every completed episode (watching at least 90% of the video)
  • Completing Courses: Earn 100 bonus points when you finish all episodes in a series
  • Test Performance: Earn 25 points for scoring 80% or higher on any test
  • Referrals: Earn 500 points when a friend you refer creates an account and makes their first purchase
  • Streak Bonuses: Earn bonus points for consecutive daily logins (7-day streak = 50 points, 30-day streak = 250 points)

Redeeming Points

Your accumulated loyalty points can be redeemed in several ways:

Store Discounts

Apply points at checkout for instant savings. Every 100 points equals $1.00 off your purchase. Combine with Premium subscriber discounts for maximum savings.

Free Content

Unlock select premium courses, eBooks, or test packs using points instead of cash. Check the "Redeem with Points" tag on eligible products.

Exclusive Access

Redeem points for early access to new features, beta content, or invitation-only live events and workshops.

Gift Cards

Convert points into RokuChannel gift cards that you can share with friends, family, or classmates.

Managing Your Account

Keep your subscription and billing information up to date from the Account Settings page:

  1. Upgrade Your Plan

    Switch from Free to Premium or from Monthly to Annual at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, and you will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your current billing cycle.

  2. Downgrade Your Plan

    Switch to a lower tier or return to the Free plan. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period, so you keep Premium access until then.

  3. Cancel Subscription

    Cancel your subscription at any time from Account Settings. You will retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period. Your loyalty points are preserved and do not expire.

  4. View Billing History

    Access a complete history of all subscription payments, upgrades, and refunds. Download individual receipts as PDF files for your records.

Bundle & Save Combine a Premium subscription with store purchases for the best value. Premium subscribers receive 15% off every store purchase, and bundle products already include multi-item discounts. When you add loyalty points on top, you can save up to 40% compared to buying everything individually on the Free tier. Check the "Best Value" badge on bundle products in the store to find the biggest savings.
