Hi,
I'll ask the question, because nobody else has.
Is this a reliable offer?
50%  off an annual sub sounds a too good to be true deal ( I really don't mean that to sound rude!  :)) There have been  massive errors in the past regarding these so-called deals with FindMyPast.
Are you sure it is not 50% off a month's sub?
People tend to be very wary (and rightly so)if you don't post your source

Kind regards :)

The source of the promotion has quite evidently come off facebook, hence the discount code.

To reliably check the validity of this code (for example) or any other for that matter for yourself, go to:

https://www.findmypast.co.uk/pay (or if you are on their home page, click on "Subscribe")

On the bottom right of the page is a thing that says:

"Got Discount Code?"
If you have a discount code enter it here [Apply]

So put in the discount code, press [Apply], and (if valid) you will see the discount applied.

So in this particular example (if valid), it is applied  to the 12 month deal, not the monthly one.

If you are happy with this, then you can press the blue "Subscribe" button under the 12 month deal.

This is not a RootsChat promotion, and the details can't be verified - and I imagine they can quite rightly withdraw the discount code at any time, or restrict it's use.

But where off Facebook did the discount code come from?
"and quite rightly so can withdraw the offer at any time" - which they did last time to many people who took up a very similar sounding  offer (I wasn't one of them, but many people here did get burnt)

Kind Regards :)

ps home page - "50% offer"  big button - click on it and it says "this offer is no longer available" for some reason
 I'm very sceptical of 50% annual subs involving FindMyPast  especially after the last fiasco.

Here is our link to facebook: www.facebook.com/rootschat

Nobody got burnt, they were refunded.

There isn't a 50% off button on the home page that I can see, but we're in the UK.

Have you entered the code in yourself, to see if it is valid?

yes and I get :


"12 Months
Normal Price:£8.29

£4.15*
per month

Voucher discount 50%
Subscribe
 
* Charged as a single payment of £49.75"


 BUT where has that  discount code come from? - a page that states  the code .
Last time they did not honour many subscribers who took up a similar offer, because there was a huge error on their behalf- Call me sceptical .
It's an absolute great offer if it is not one of their errors again

Kind regards :)

Don't ask me, I'm just the monkey.

Parmesan has answered you I think.   ???
Here is their page: www.facebook.com/findmypast have a look there to see if you can find it.

Looks like it works then?

Happy days. :)
