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.

Using this link:-

http://findmypast.dailymail.co.uk/enter-keywords

Fill in the register with Daily Mail (you only need to fill-in the starred sections)
In ENTER password use these 10 codes - 1 at a time.

Intrigue    Family    Heritage    Home    Heroes
Grandad   Villains    Tree         Noble     Aristocracy


Leave the page so that you can come back to it
You will then receive an email with 4 lots of codes -  on the email address you have registered with.

Go to the http://www.findmypast.co.uk/ and on the home page - scroll down until you see Payment Options - Choose Activate Vouchers in the left hand menu.  Add the codes you were sent and now you have another 40 free credits

Return to the Daily Mail page and add these 10 passwords:-

Manor          Birth          Marriage     Death        Divorce
Discovery     Relative     Register      Mystery     Secrets

You will then receive another email with 4 lots of codes -  on the email address you have registered with.

Go to the http://www.findmypast.co.uk/ site and on the home page - scroll down until you see Activate Vouchers in the left hand menu.  Add the codes you were sent and now you have you've earned a further 85 FREE credits  = 125 Credits in total

Of course use more than 1 e-mail address and its 125 x  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
Happy Researching. Good Luck Everyone.
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.

DISPCRED
WDYTYA   (expires 31 January 2013)

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.

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
