Ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry.com.au

Hi

The subscription rate for Ancestry.au of $299.88 AUD is a special introductory offer for new customers, the normal rate is $449.95 AUD and thats what would be charged on renewal. The rates would no doubt have been set in the United States. I suspect than when Ancestry last reviewed their subscription rates it would have initially been in US Dollars for Ancestry.com and then converted to local currency for Ancestry.uk, Ancestry.au etc The costs would have been pretty similar irrespective of which site you subscribed through but substantial changes in exchange rates have caused the current differences. It will be interesting to see what happens when they next review their rates.

I doubt whether Ancestry.au have much room to move re rates without the ok from Ancestry head office. Ancestry UK is also a lot cheaper than Ancestry.com at the moment

Andy,

Thanks for that informative explanation.
Certainly a big difference in price for UK and AU subscriptions, at the moment.

perth tiger,
Andy has made it clear for us.  I agree buy from the UK.


Thanks
