I just tried and unfortunately ANCESTRYHOUR16 is no longer available.  Should have done it last night but only found the post when I was tired and shutting down.

Have you previously taken advantage of the £1 offer AlannaGrace?

I found that I had to do things in the correct order (I did it the wrong way the first time and they were going to charge me the full £9.95)

On the subscription page, you have to enter the code first, then click 'apply' (or whatever the word is).

That will take you to a screen that says the code was successfully applied.

Then you will see that the monthly cost is £1 instead of £9.99. Select the £1 subscription and then go through the payment process.

Where I went wrong the first time, was I selected the £9.99 subscription first, then entered the code. That doesn't work, and asks you to pay the full £9.99.

So maybe thats where you went wrong? Or, maybe they have stopped the special offer as they discovered an influx of £1 subscriptions.  :)

Find my Past seems to have had a lot of price offers, free days etc recently. It seems a little unfair to those of us who have invested in full subscriptions.

I see what you are saying, I subscribe to Ancestry, I don't think they have many offers to be honest, I just use the offers on Find my Past as and when they come up.

That tells you that not enough people are investing in full subscriptions....which is probably because they are overpriced. You should speak to their customer service and request some recompense. That is what I would do.

I have a yearly sub. I get days added on to my expiry date for all the free days that they have.

Any subscription website has a finite number of subscribers and the need to replace the members who fulfill their objectives becomes necessary. Hence the offers. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Just Marketing 2016.
