Ancestry subs reduced
« on: Tuesday 27 December 16 06:37 GMT (UK) »
Thrilled that I just saved AUD$100 on a yearly subscription - on sale until 2nd January so I am pleased I didnt renew for a couple of months.

40% is a really good saving.

After I had my DNA tested through Ancestry, they offered a year sub for UK Heritage Plus (UK & Australia resources) at AUD$129 which I hesitatingly took up. I hadn't been on there for a couple of years, and found it much more user-friendly than I remembered. :) Of course I had to outlay for the DNA test in the first place but not sorry I did... :)

Currently, if you go into Ancestry UK 'the right way' then you get the offer for Worldwide at £89.99 (I got it via DNA page and not direct strangely). I obviously used Quidco to try get some extra money back too. I think the offer expires on January 2nd.

That would be some offer if it were true  ??? 50% discount   ??? 

Post the link for everyone to see.

You're right Sandra & also Worldwide which would be an excellent offer!

I wonder if that offer was for people who have used their DNA Services because, as both Sandra and Annie have said, that would be some offer for Worldwide.  I've seen others mention they got a good discount having used the DNA service.

Chapuys, have you had your DNA tested with them this year?

At the moment all I've seen is 40% off Premium.  Its being advertised by a Commission website so can't post the link as RC will just remove it.

Having had a real struggle to get 25% off Worldwide on Saturday (my Subs were due to renew today) I'd be really surprised if they were offering 50% now.  The reason being that Mum got 25% off Premium on Friday with little hassle and I suspect that was because they knew, but wouldn't (and won't) admit it, that they would be offering 40% off Premium from Monday. :-X

Remembered last week that you should have been due for renewal and wondered if you would be successful. So pleased to read you negotiated the discount  ;D

Happy New Year
Regards
Sandra  ;D

Thanks Sandra, meant to drop you a PM but not got round to it.  Mind you it was a real struggle to get the discount out of them.  Kept getting told they didn't have any offers even though had mentioned they'd given 25% discounts to others this year when they didn't have any offers.  In the end I said I would be cancelling and going to a competitor and that got yet another check with Supervisor which got me the discount, even though at the beginning of the conversation I'd already said that.  Half of me wishes they hadn't as I would have taken up the 40% off Premium that they currently have.  However, I do like having Worldwide and do make use of it chasing sidelines who emigrated so I'm glad I did manage it. :)
