Lovely thought - but both FindMyPast and scotlandspeople sites say not valid anymore  ???
Title: Re: 40 credits for free on FindMyPast
Post by: *Sandra* on Wednesday 16 January 13 23:33 GMT (UK)
Its nothing to do with Scotlands People. The 125 credits came through for me and also Braindead ?

Did you try to do it through the links ?

You obviously can't claim twice on the same e-mail address - it was working earlier - so not sure why it won't now  ???  Perhaps it will come back again - will check tomorrow.

I haven't made any prior claim off that newspaper site.  My first thought was that all the credits that they'd bought had been claimed.

Sandra

To use the Daily Mail offer, start by registering at http://findmypast.dailymail.co.uk. You are allowed one registration per email address. Then use this same link to enter any 20 passwords in any order. Sandra has listed 20, but the other possibilities are:

farm
grandmother
great
record
scandal
separation

After each set of 10 passwords you are given a code for FindMyPast. To redeem your two codes log in at www.findmypast.co.uk then go to 'Activate voucher' (www.findmypast.co.uk/VoucherRedemptionServlet). There is no limit to how many vouchers can be redeemed on one FindMyPast account.

You may also be given a code for Scotland's People but it is too late to redeem these.
Title: Re: 40 credits for free on FindMyPast
Post by: Douglas P on Thursday 17 January 13 02:13 GMT (UK)
To sum up, the current codes for FindMyPast appear to be:

LCXMASFREE
SNOWMAN
DISPCRED
WDYTYA   (expires 31 January 2013)
TVOFFER   (expires 2 February 2013)
FMPTV2   (expires 19 February 2013)

I don't know if the first two are still valid. These are completely separate to the Daily Mail offer and are entered at:

Hello RootsChat Members,

Special Thanks to Dave and Sandra, much appreciated.

It would appear that the Daily Mail credits, are meant mainly for UK Members, as there is no place to enter other countries. 

However we are very happy with what we have received, a valuable 'Bonus'.

Thank you to all who have alerted us to the various available Credits at 'Findmypast', over the past couple of months.

Jeanette H.

Post by: *Sandra* on Thursday 17 January 13 13:41 GMT (UK)
Hi Jeanette,

You're very welcome, pleased to hear you managed to get a few more credits. FindMyPast is not a site I have used before, usually stick to the other one but somehow have accumulated 415 credits so far (on one e-mail address) - might be looking for a deserving cause to give them away before April  ;D
The link is now fixed so hope more people will enjoy some freebies.  ;D

Cheers
Sandra

Once you have entered enough passwords at http://findmypast.dailymail.co.uk the codes should appear immediately on the same screen. If you log in there you should have two codes for FindMyPast and a message 'There are no more passwords to enter!'. If not then there will still be a box for entering passwords.

Yes, I have those.  I copied them in (maybe I should have typed them) but FindMyPast isn't accepting them.  Will have to try again.
