FindMyPast £1 Offer

[StevieSteve]

Do your local libraries have access to Find My Past? Our do and we can go into the library and get free access on their computers. You can sign into your Find My Past Account use the 1939 Register.

I'm surprised at this - wouldn't your user account settings take precedence when you login and lock you out of the 1939, even though you are accessing FindMyPast at a library?

It works when I use it! (I don't remember if I had a monthly subscription or none at the time but I think I did, hence why I went to the library to follow it up). I was pleasantly surprised.

It has just worked for me, following Ruskie's instructions  .  I'm a little disappointed that the 1939 Register isn't included, I had a few more people to track down when my 12 month sub ran out recently.  Beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

Hi AngelFish, our local library doesn't offer access to FindMyPast, only Ancestry which I have a sub for anyway.  I will wait until FindMyPast offer a good discount on a 12 month sub to search the 1939 again.  I got 50% discount last time and recently missed their 20% off deal because I was on holiday  .  I can wait, I have plenty of other things to search for

Just a reminder to turn off continuous membership if you have taken up this offer or they will automatically renew at full cost next month.

I notice that Ruskie has already pointed this out earlier in the thread, but I completely forgot to do it myself until just now so I wanted to make sure others didn't overlook it too 

Go to "My Account" then "Personal Details", scroll to bottom and turn it off.  Don't forget to click "update"

Thanks. I forgot too.

A bit sneaky to have the autorenew automatically ticked in my opinion.  I know they all do it, but I don't like it.

Then there are more chances to mess up by hiding it under "my account" then "personal details" - I don't think this should be under "personal details".

And yet another chance to mess up by having to click "update"! I bet a lot of people forget to do that.

Well I thought I'd be cheeky again and see if ANCESTRYHOUR16 would still give a months sub to FindMyPast ....and it worked 

Happy days

[Ruskie]

Claire, thanks for that!

My one month sub ended yesterday, and I was just trying to find this thread to see if the code still worked, so your post is perfect timing.

(Mind you I only used FindMyPast about three times in the last month ....  )

[Rosinish]

Ohhhh...Ruskie,

Perfect timing...someone up above looking after you 

Still worth it for the price just in case
