FOX is giving away 200 MS point codes for FREE! [update]

by Dustin Burg { Jan 13th 2008 at 5:15PM }

Update: All of FOX's free Microsoft point codes for this promotion are now gone. Congrats to those who got in on the fun.

Come and get your free Microsoft points! As part of their marketing fun for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, FOX is giving away 200 FREE Microsoft points to anyone with an email address and a gamertag. Yes, FREE with no strings attached. Simply head on over to the official Sarah Connor Chronicles website and look towards the bottom right hand side. There, you'll spot an "X-BOX FREE POINTS" form where you can enter your email address and gamertag. Then, wait a few seconds, check your email and tada! You should have received an email with a code you can redeem for 200 Microsoft points. We aren't sure how many codes they are giving away or how long this will last, so we advise heading over to the Sarah Connor Chronicles website stat. We love you FOX ... free Microsoft points FTW!

[Thanks, Eddie Barrera]

It's going to be a great day!

Sircolby45 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:30PM

I'm not seeing it...

Sircolby45 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:33PM

Nvm...It shows up in IE, just not in FireFox.

Sdawg36 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:33PM

If you have Firefox make sure adblock is turned off

Sircolby45 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:34PM

That's what it was!

soccerdude21490 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:58PM

yea thanks for the tip about AdBlock.. thats what my problem was! hahaha

Bushman311 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:35PM

Just got my code. I wonder if there is any way to get multiple codes....

Eddie Barrera @ Jan 13th 2008 5:40PM

yea, you need to use different emails though.. unfortunately they've blocked most temp email sites.

spyker @ Jan 13th 2008 5:44PM

mailinator.com work 40 and counting

Tweak13 @ Jan 13th 2008 5:51PM

Holy crap! Your are so right. Thanks man!

Kevin @ Jan 13th 2008 7:38PM

i used mailinator also but it doesnt show me my code, any ideas?

jose_edwaldo @ Jan 13th 2008 5:48PM

I can confirm this works on UK accounts as well. Which is nice.

PerfectStrategy @ Jan 13th 2008 5:54PM

Don't abuse it, you'll ruin it for everybody.

EmptyEnergy @ Jan 13th 2008 5:56PM

Well, it should be interesting how much this offer gets raped. As many email addy's you have, you can get the offer. Just go to hotmail and make up new accounts for 200 points.

Silverlotus @ Jan 13th 2008 5:56PM

Works for Canadian accounts too. How nice!

xenocidic @ Jan 14th 2008 7:38AM

what a day to be not home =(

Teqonix @ Jan 13th 2008 5:57PM

Man, it would be cool if Microsoft was looking at accounts that had a lot of these points (through the use of multiple e-mail addresses) from the form added and banned them from Xbox Live. Just as thanks for ruining it for everyone else.

Sdawg36 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:02PM

I was thinking they might have a tracker on which gamertags were entered and have a system that throws up a red flag if you have the codes for different gamertags entered on you account

finnith @ Jan 13th 2008 5:58PM

I like how when somebody does something nice, some people exploit it to no end.

Ryan @ Jan 13th 2008 6:02PM

I will gladly rip every penny away from the PoS that is Fox any chance I get. The world would be a better place without the one company that makes even Sony and MS look like saints.

Homer 918 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:16PM

@Ryan:

You aren't taking any extra money from Fox, you're taking it from fellow gamers.

Ryan @ Jan 13th 2008 6:20PM

Well I can't even find where the hell the form is to enter once, so I'M not taking anything from anyone, lol.

Grant @ Jan 13th 2008 10:28PM

i fail to see how marketing for a new show can be construed as "nice".
Just make sure when you send your "thanks for the favor" email to Fox, leave the rest of us out.

Dale @ Jan 14th 2008 7:27PM

You miss the point, Ryan... people like you have simply made the allocated points go faster for other people who would have wanted them. You haven't left Fox any more out of pocket.

Steve @ Jan 13th 2008 6:02PM

Nice nothing. Welcome to spam hell.

PerfectStrategy @ Jan 13th 2008 6:03PM

Yea if you guys seriously think you are going to make off with like 5000 points or something ridiculous, scott-free, you really are nuts. Your points will be wiped at the least and you'll probably get your account banned. And thanks for trying to ruin it for everybody at your own gain.

erivera3 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:05PM

Are they going to check? I'm scared now

Bushman311 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:07PM

I see nothing that says there will be any negative repercussions for entering multiple times.

Having said that, Fox can burn in hell.

mike shea @ Jan 13th 2008 6:07PM

I dont see it.

anyone else having troubles?

erivera3 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:11PM

It's not letting me redeem it, says the code is incorrect and ive checked it twice

xtremesniper @ Jan 13th 2008 6:14PM

Actually it's not checking if the gamertag is even real, which makes the whole thing even more confusing.

Perses @ Jan 13th 2008 6:15PM

Sweet !! Got my email w/ code almost immediately.

JakubK666 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:15PM

To be honest I can't be even BOTHERED to use other accounts to get points...

LesbianHam @ Jan 13th 2008 6:18PM

Ok, just managed to get 28 codes from there before they removed the box and switched it with an american idol ad.

Sue me.

JakubK666 @ Jan 13th 2008 6:23PM

Wait that means you made it with...4600 points...lucky bastard you are!

Justin @ Jan 13th 2008 6:26PM

You =

LesbianHam @ Jan 13th 2008 7:21PM

As it turns out, I only managed to get 14 proper codes (rest were duplicates or "-02") :/

Oh well, I still raped that cow pretty nicely.

Also, no making/using many different email adresses, just put a dot or two wherever the hell you feel like in your gmail adress, and you'll still get it, but the fox site sees it as a different address.

eg:
myemail@gmail.com = my.email@gmail.com = m.yemail@gmail.com = m.y.e.mai.l@gmail.com

Sure this is of no use to you now, but next time something like this comes up (and it will), that's what you do.

You might wanna write that down or something.

PS. I FUCKING RULE
