Based on the comments on most straightforward DDMS deals I have a feeling that many readers will find the giveaway vs deal component confusing.
+1

Perhaps put them both on the same page.

Signed up, upon confirming my email, it goes to a page to double my entry if I join WhatsApp group  it also has a place to put my phone number in. I put my phone number in before clicking to join and I lost the link to join. Either have the WhatsApp link still there after submission or make it clear that it will be difficult to join the group once submitting your phone number.

Um, it's a transferable certificate.

You can sell this for $5,000 easily...
No, thanks. Let someone else win it. If I win, don't tell me and pick someone else.  ;D

I actually think the separate pages makes it somewhat clearer...

If it's split up by deal and giveaway I think one page would be clearer. The title of the page would be day 1.

I got to this point and was presented with a dilemma: what if I'd rather double my chances on a different giveaway? Hold off on joining the WA group just in case?

the form clearly says if you're already in, just add your phone number and you're doubled.

Maybe it's not clear but it's also if your already joined.

No option to be joined in telegram but not WhatsApp?

My confirmation email landed in my promotions tab. Is there any way to optimize the email language to try to avoid that?

I assume you have away to check for duplicate entries?

Also the link in the email for adding WhatsApp number allows you to re-enter as many times as you want considering if one has several numbers.

No, thanks. Let someone else win it. If I win, don't tell me and pick someone else.  ;D

If he wins, sell it for him and give him $5000 in dell/hp/asus/apple/bestbuy/micro center... which he will probably use for chesed anyway.

Took me second to realize that there are two different things going on.
When I went to the deal page after the giveaway page, for a second I thought I had to email them to be part of the giveaway :)

I think the wording in the titles and beginning of the post need to make it really clear that one is a giveaway, and separately one is a special deal.
Then the sentence linking to the other page needs to clearly highlight what the other page is.

The "deal" is really confusing, you have this comment about "Kosher breakfast menu may have a $25/day fee." What does it mean "may have"? And then there is "There is a $200/day mashgiach fee paid directly to Chabad of Cabo" And later "In case of kosher food service is required, there is an additional charge of $25 USD per person."
Huh?

Good point, thanks!

Fixed.

Yeah... They made me write that.

IME, and based on others' experience, they don't charge it, though.

So it's tricky....

Maybe switch the order to say giveaway day 1.
And maybe Giveaway should be all caps.
And maybe a colon instead of a dash before the name of that days giveaway
