Yay, I got the invite! 
Now I can relist my books again... doubt I'd have another huge sale again like a couple days ago, but if I don't list I would get nothing for sure.
For whoever curious about how/when people got the notification, I got an e-mail for both accounts at 4:40pm PST. No ebay message for this account so far. The spare account I haven't logged in for 2 years.
Also, please note that this promotion is only applicable to 5, 7, and 10 days auction listings. To make the best out of these auctions, list 5 days on August 12... and they will end on the 17th. Then relist 10 days.
What is the promotion?
Invited sellers who create a listing in the auction-style format or auction-style with Buy It Now format, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Qualifying Listing”), will pay no insertion fee per item listed and no additional fee for adding 10-day Duration or a Subtitle to these listings ("Promotion") for up to 500 listings per day, a total of 3,500 listings over 7 days, during the Promotion Period (as defined below). All existing selling limits on your account (as well as category and item limits) still apply, and may prevent you from creating the maximum number of listings in this Promotion. The Promotion is in addition to the monthly insertion fee promotion, and/or any other insertion fees that are included as part of your Store subscription.
5, 7, and 10-day listing durations are included in this Promotion. The Promotion does not apply to final value fees or optional upgrade fees. Final value fees will be applied to the total amount of the sale, including the cost of the item, shipping, and any other fees a seller may charge—excluding any sales tax. Fees for optional listing upgrades (such as reserve price, Gallery Plus, listing in 2 categories, etc.) still apply. For listing in 2 categories, you will be charged at standard rates for the second category. Please note: Not all upgrades are available in all listing flows.
I was not invited this time.
Second consecutive "invitational promotion" where eBay skips my name! 
Checking "Selling Manager" is the FIRST thing I do when a promotion is announced as we all know we cannot depend on eBay to advise sellers of a promotion, more so for "legacy members" (Canadians registered on eBay.com more than ten years ago).
Staff at eBay.ca has acknowledged there is a communication problem in this regard.

However, because I list primarily in the Health and Beauty category, I do not get any free fixed price listings. So because the 30% differential between auction and fixed price doesn't work for me, I still list quite a few BIN's. But I don't really mind because 30 cents will buy me three months.
I'm more or less in the same boat -- usually most of the categories I list in are restricted when there is a fixed price promo. However, I try to make some use, however limited, of the free auction promos with BIN when they're offered to me, as I don't want eBay to stop inviting me to the party. 
Like you, I've been thrilled to have 120 days of listing for $0.20 (store listing fee). I'm finding that most of those seem to come up with the 3-time auto-list feature even the second time around. I don't know whether most sellers are seeing this now, or if it's offered to certain sellers based on performance (it's certainly not based on volume in my case), but I'm happy to have it. Anything helps these days to reduce costs.
As for the current promo, I'm going to do what I did last time -- even though I generally don't like auctions, I run a dozen or so when I can on a promo to hopefully bring buyers to look at my other items. Essentially I consider auctions now as loss leaders and marketing tools. Whatever -- I'll take anything eBay is giving out for free these days!
