Title: TheGenealogist: Free 1 Month Diamond Subscription
Post by: Clarkey500 on Saturday 02 September 17 18:53 BST (UK)
Just noticed that for today only (5 hours left till offer expires) that TheGenealogist are offering a free 1 month diamond subscription. I suppose it's similar to a free trial but double the normal 14 days.

https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/featuredarticles/2017/who-do-you-think-you-are/noel-clarke-626/ (https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/featuredarticles/2017/who-do-you-think-you-are/noel-clarke-626/)

Scroll down a bit and between the date and the article text is a box that says "claim your free sub here".

Two points from the T&Cs particularly worth noting

Cancellation of subscriptions must be made in writing (by letter/email) at least two weeks before the next payment due date. Cancellations will not take effect before the end of any minimum sign-up period.

All paid subscriptions (excluding pay-as-you-go) will renew automatically (unless cancelled, see above) to ensure you continue to receive the benefits of the ever-increasing range of genealogy data.

I managed to get this today.  On the last page, instead of entering payment details, just click I do not want this offer and the free trial will commence without setting up a rolling subscription.

I had to put in my card details but as long as I cancel before the end of the month sub it should be fine.

Apart from this offer, what's so good about The Geneaologist though over FindmyPast?

Had a free trial with them a few years back. Really good census search as I remember - with big families able to enter several forenames leaving surname blank to bring up unexpected spellings. Very clear page images.

Only went with FindMyPast in the end as I needed 1939 register.
