FindMyPast subscription £10 for year

[groom]

It does seem as if there was a fault somewhere, especially if it was possible for people to use the code more than once and so renew for several years.

I suppose if it was an error they could refund the £10 for people who bought multiple years.

The half price offer in July worked more than once for people as there were several posts on various forums/social media from people confirming this.  And jennywren001 has posted the monthly offer is working more than once today too.

Its interesting that they are allowing them to be used more than once because in the past they've restricted at times who could use the free credit offers.

May find that these get restricted subsequently too.

I hope not but anything's possible.  In theory I would have thought once they issued the confirmation email it was a completed purchase bought in good faith.  Its only subsequently that its been realised perhaps it was an error on their part.  Unlike with physical goods, they're not delivering anything other than access to the site but I suppose the law may allow them to claim it was a mistake.  The inactive subscriptions I suppose could be revoked but its a little unfair when the error was theirs and their system allows them to be purchased.

As I said previously, there have been so many £1 per month offers this year anyway, its no different to someone just using them each time their existing subscription expires.

We shall have to wait and see but I'm hoping they won't revoke them.

Just in case you've managed to do multiple monthly £1 offers ( I stopped at 12) .  I suspect they will be treated as a individual monthly subscription so EACH month you will need to check that the auto renew is unchecked.

panic posted on the previous page of this thread that the code appeared on a blog in relation to a monthly sub, I wonder whether it shouldn't have worked with the annual subscription and that's why it's not working now as they realised the error.

It was on http://www.ffhs.org.uk/ezine/ezine1412.htm


I got a year's extension, only just tried for a second to see and its expired now. Half price last june and now a £10. I shall just keep watch for the next offer between now and 2016

Doesn't work for me

What a shame it is not valid for me either!

I reckon they have realised a mistake - a BIG one.  They never check anything before its released and everything is usually filled with holes so why would they check their offers work as they want them to?

Their QA system is pants - thankfully
