Is the PayPal Holiday Giveaway Free Entry Method working?

[Wolfzero88]

I won a prize recently from the paypal christmas prize draw. I'm unable to find any valid stores to use it for, can anyone advise on this?

Received several emails saying i qualify for entry for giveaway but cannot click or submit. Other information says “we are automatically entered” if using PayPal to pay. When I go to track entries, it says 0/50. I don’t get it!

Hi Tmh2, 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum. 

For the Holiday Giveaway promotion there are 2 ways to enter. You can enter for free, and if you use this option you will not receive an email confirming the submission. If you enter the competition through completing a purchase on PayPal, you will receive an email notification confirming the submission.

Just wondering if anyone else has won a prize in the Xmas prize draw , i won £25 on the 19th November it has not appeared in my paypal wallet , i contacted customer services who told me that when i make a purchase using my paypal account the money would be deducted from the £25 prize money i had won , i have made a purchase today and the money has been taken from my bank account NOT the £25 prize fund

Allow 5 days for it to show in your balance (I wouldn't count the weekend) and then it should show up at checkout when you can select it as a payment option.

I received an email on the 19th November saying I had won £25 on the xmas draw? I have looked everywhere and cant find the £25 anywhere. Can anyone help me to access it?

I'm having the same issue. I received an email from PayPal saying I'd won $25 but can not confirm it or find it anywhere associated with my account!

RE:  Holiday Giveaway ......... So this is like a raffle and guarantees nothing. Is that right ? I'm a low income senior (rural) and live in a 900 sq ft home which is full of things I can no longer store in my old shed which was badly damaged by a storm (looks like a mess inside my home). Lots of snow got into the shed and damaged the floor which is unsafe to walk on (wood rot).  I'm trying to get a new, no frills 10x16 shed so I can clean our home up. I don't collect dead cars like some people. Just trying to make it look nice outside and safe inside.  Our home is very difficult to keep clean.

You would think a BILLION DOLLAR + company like PayPal would have better things to do than dangle fake carrots. Feel free to ask me what I have in my home. Thanks for reading this. ....... AR

Hi, can someone help please.  I have been told that i need to opt in to the prize draw to receive entries. However, every time i clock on the "opt in to prize draw", it takes me back to the original page about the prize draw details.  Any one know how i can opt in please or has this done it.

Thanks
