Is the PayPal Holiday Giveaway Free Entry Method working?

[hargrovekr]

I got an email promoting "Win up to $20 Million this Holiday" saying "Every time you checkout with PayPal for $10 or more, you’re automatically entered for a weekly chance to win $25, $50, $250, or $10,000 to shop with PayPal." 

It also has a "No Purchase Necessary" method, but each time I follow the instructions, it loops and no entries are registered. I've copied the rules below. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this entry method broken? Could it be fixed? I have tried Microsoft Edge and Chrome browsers. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Without Making Qualified Payments: To enter without making a Qualified Payment, customers must visit the Promotional Site, then click on the Free Entry Link (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/holiday-giveaway/terms-amoe) and follow instructions to log in with their PayPal account, agree to these Official Rules, and click submit to receive fifty (50) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period associated with the time and date the entry is received. All entries must be received by the end of the applicable Weekly Entry Period in order to participate in that Weekly Entry Period. Sponsor’s database clock will be the official timekeeper for this Sweepstakes. Proof of submission is not considered proof of receipt by Sponsor of such entry.

No there was never a confirmation page that the entries were received. It just constantly Loops back to the promotion rules and policies page where you accept and then hit submit and then it loops right back to itself again

The email states we should be able to see our submissions in the contest but it’s no where to be found. Where is it?

Wow I see it now. I don’t know if they updated it. But I switched over to my iPad. Instead of my phone. So you might need a bigger device like a computer. When you press the link scroll all the way down and there will be “submit entry” button with “thank you for submitting” after. Wow I feel slow if this was here all along.

I am seeing it now on mobile too. Thank you all for your assistance! Good luck with the giveaway and happy holidays!

Hi. Yes it is. But I checked my entries in it was added, and no it wasn't added by doing the free entry method. Unless I have to wait for tomorrow?

Joy said that the only verification of entry you will get is the "Thank You" page. Unfortunately, the 50 entries are apparently not viewable in the mobile app and you will not get an email verification from what I understand so far. Seems a bit like "acceptance by faith" 😂 but the thank you screen was a relief.
