You must use the "Apple Store" app to find the promotion - not search in the App Store.

It's in the APPLE Store App, not the APP Store. Just open the Apple Store app and scroll on the featured page until you see the little banner.

Be careful.

Many reviews in the UK are saying that you give up possession to all your content if you use this app.
