Seems to be some kind of issue with this currently. Doesn't show up as being able to claim anything. Probably broke the servers or something. I saw some others having the same issue I'm seeing. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

I just did it. You have to click the button to go to the giveaway, then scroll down until you see the claim button.

I get an unauthorized error message currently.

Don’t click the instant claim link, that’s invalid. Click the main link.

So I was finally able to see where the claim button is. I clicked it and it said it was successful and added to my account. It had my username correct. It's not showing up in my owned games though.

As long as you’re logged in, you should have it. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to be added, and sometimes you also have to restart the client you use, assuming you don’t just download the installers directly.

I'll check it again in a bit to see if it showed up. I appreciate the help.

At least for me the email did come eventually. It was just 30 or 60 minutes late.

Mine just now went through so it took quite awhile, but I got it.

Instant claim link is there of you're already logged in with your browser.

If you're getting unauthorized it means you're not currently logged into your account.
