Is the PayPal Holiday Giveaway Free Entry Method working?

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.

I don’t see a price tag icon at the bottom of the screen. I have version 8.6.1, which was released yesterday.

I just got off the phone with customer service in the promotions department as I was having the same issues as everyone else. She said they are having issues with that part of the promo in the app and they are working on it. No ETA as to when it will be fixed, but to keep checking back.

Hope this helps alleviate some frustration!

Install the new PayPal app. Log on. Click the price tag icon at the bottom. Look for and tap the horizontal panel for the giveaway.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I clicked the $ sign at the bottom. I see “send, bills, give, request” at the top. I don’t see anywhere for entries?

I have the most recent app. I see the price tag icon. I do not see any "horizontal panel" that describes the Holiday Giveaway.

do you have to opt in for each eligible entry you get for the christmas prize draw.

I have several emails stating I have qualifying entries but dont see any when I go to track my entries

I had 7 entries to the giveaway from making purchases. I decided to get some free entries with the Free Entry link. Now I only have 1 entry after submitting for the free entries. And after reading the full rules, it says that I should have 50 entries for my free entry submission. What did I do wrong?
