October 5 dollar Paypal App offer only gives Not Now or Remind Me Later, no option to activate offer

When I login to Paypal, an offer is presented, starting October 18 2021 and running till the end of 2021,  that if I download and successfully sign into the Paypal App, it'll give me $5.   

 

However, there is nothing on the page allowing me to activate the offer, it only gives the option of "Not Now" on one verson of the page, or "Remind Me Later" on the other, and has no option to activate offer.

 

Without activating the offer first, I know it won't give me the $5, so how do I activate the offer first?  Nothing on either version of the page explains that.  

 

 

I've tried this from Chrome and from Firefox, on both my Windows10 computer and on a newer Samsung Android phone, with the same results. 

 

 

 

I copied the text off of one of the pages below, and linked to it:

The new PayPal app is here! Get a text to try it and we can give you $5*

Wierd:  after posting this I got an email from Paypal that said

 

"Good news! Your latest payment qualified for an entry to our giveaway "

 

When I click the link in the email to "track my entries", it takes me to the login page, and after I successfully login, then it redirects me right to that same page I linked and quoted above, and not to anything that tracks anything, much less entries in some giveaway.

 

I verified with the source of the email that it is indeed from Paypal, so it's not some scam email. 

 

Note that the other link in the email, for "Learn more about the giveaway" does take me to a page about the giveaway, but that page doesnt' have any link to tracking the entries, either.
