Recommended method:
- existing users should ensure any previous subscription has expired first!
- logout of Ancestry
- open a new incognito window
- (optional step for extra savings) logon to your preferred cashback site and click through to Ancestry from there
- use one of the links from above (UK or Worldwide)
- the chosen discounted subscription will be added to your basket
- existing users can then log back in to Ancestry to complete payment
Enjoy!

I know Find My Past now has the 1921 Census, but it is ridiculous priced (for my budget at least), so have brought the single pages I wanted/needed.

See if your local library has free access to FindMyPast including the UK 1921 Census on their computers. It works a treat for the occasional lookup and would give you an opportunity to compare.

Anyone want to have another go?  I emailed this link to a friend in 2020, back when it WAS working.  I've saved the link from my sent mail, file name was "subscribe.htm".

That file is strange as it already has 2022 dates in it, yet you say it was sent in 2020! Did you click the link recently and then save the resulting page? It doesn't really matter as sadly there are no offers within. 
Your previous reply describes exactly what we need...

Someone who generated the page showing the two discounted prices and at that point saved the page (before pressing a button and successfully checking out).

Thanks Jane, got the file now. 
Unfortunately I don't think it's a saved version of the page that showed the 2 offers AFTER logging in. 
i.e. the page with the text on the screen that said :

================================================
UK Premium
£119.99£59.99* 12 month membership
[Get started]
Search more than 1 billion UK records, photos, and more
Build a family tree with helpful hints on finding your ancestors
Explore the trees of your AncestryDNA matches
Global access to explore your family's full story

Worldwide
£179.99£89.99* 12 month membership
[Get started]
Get everything in UK Premium
Delve into more than 30 billion global records
Trace your family journey through 80+ countries around the world
================================================

If somebody has that html page saved and can share it here then I should be able to get the offer codes from behind the two "Get Started" buttons.

Unfortunately all I saved at the time was a screen grab (attached)...

Thanks!

Thanks Jane - you should be able to attach the .txt file to a reply here (not copy/paste the whole thing  :) ).
When you reply, look below the text keying box and click on the "Attachments and other options" link.
Then you should be able to attach the file using the "Choose file" button that appears.

I have attached a simple file here just to (hopefully) prove it works :-)

For anyone who also needs a DNA kit (maybe as an Xmas present) the current UK bundle offer for a 3-month Worldwide subscription for an extra £1 is excellent.

Current price for the DNA kit is £49 (plus £9.99 postage) until 29th Nov.

Direct link for the bundle...
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/checkout/mli?direct=1&offers=O-26207,O-24975&quantities=1,1&rtype=85&flow=3

p.s. I'd still like someone who saved the annual half price £89.99 offer as an html file to upload a copy of the file.

The desktop shows the Microsoft edge symbol and underneath subscribe, but when you bring up the properties screen either on the desktop or in folder the file is stored in, it shows its an html file, its called subscribe.htm and thats all plus a file path back to the desktop

Please rename your "subscribe.htm" file as "subscribe.txt" and upload it here as an attachment. That will allow us to see the offer code and generate a new link for us all to use.

Thank you for the confirmation the original is still working by using your systems Gan Yam and Isabel H.    Sincerely hope this helps all RootsChatters who have been having problems this month.

Unfortunately original link is still not working for me. If Gan Yam or Isabel H are able to upload a copy of the html file that just worked for them I should be able to extract the necessary offer code from the file and hopefully create us a new direct link.
To upload it, first make a copy of the html file and change the file extension from "html" to "txt". It is harmless.
