Not fair ....FindMyPast offer 50 percent off

[smudwhisk]

It's interesting that when they first posted the offer, FindMyPast insisted it was for new and expired subscriptions only.  Yet, I gather not long after this when existing subscribers were managing to make use of the offer, they were suggesting it to other existing subscribers who were trying to get free extensions (not me because I've not actually asked for one, but saw it mentioned either on RC or FB) so they obviously decided it was an opportunity to retain some of their existing subscribers too.

Thanks smudwhisk. What an idiot I am   

Nah, it caught me out too and I suspect a few others.  I was expecting them to just extend the subscription expiry date rather than add an inactive new subscription to the account page.

Thank you Barbara and Smudwisk  but I do feel an idiot and my cheeks are still blushing

I'm happy, now paid up to March 2016!!

I have also got used to the new site, not that I had any major problems with it. It was just a case of finding my way round.

OP - as you have managed to take advantage of the "not fair" offer, perhaps you might like to change the title of your thread.

With all the problems back in April, I unchecked the box saying Autorenew until I made my mind up whether to continue with FindMyPast. Now I have decided to renew as most of the problems have been sorted and have just taken advantage of the 50% offer.
When I went back into the manage my account page, the Autorenew box had been checked again.

Unfortunately I was foolish enough to take out a World subscription so it wont allow me to use the 50% offer, even though when I do renew it will be Britain only - and to add insult the message says "You currently have a 12 Month World Subscription. If you'd like to renew, wait until 05 June 2014 when your 10% loyalty discount will be applied"

Yes, my World sub means I don't get the offer either. The FB link fills in a promotional code at the bottom, which FindMyPast promptly says is NOT VALID.
