Ancestry subs reduced

[Chapuys]

It was not a direct link and now that I have taken the offer I can't get it to show up again.

How I was offered it was: Login; click DNA, click View Shared Matches; Click any of the shared matches profile usernames and entered one; all the options were blocked as I didn't have a subscription but had the 'buy' placeholders. I clicked this and got taken to a buy menu and it was discounted to £89.99.

When I tried via the main menu I got the old offer. But when I followed this path I was offered the £89.99 price.

Chapuys that offer was only available because you had taken their DNA test.  Those of us who haven't don't get the offer.  If I click on DNA, all I get is details about taking their DNA test.  I've paid £134.99 for Worldwide without having to pay for a DNA test, something I'm not interested in doing.

Thats what I suspect. When I first saw the offer, I didn't use it. When I returned later and tried via the main menu it didn't work showing the full price. When I retraced my steps I was offered it again.

At least people now know how to get it at a reduced price if they have taken the test. Sorry it wasn't there for you or others.

I obviously used Quidco to try get some extra money back too.

Hi,

Can you tell us what 'Quidco' is please & how it works?

Quidco is a cash back website (see Money Saving Expert for better explanation and I would recommend you do if you ever try). If you activate the site then buy something after a month or two you get a rebate back on a percentage offered.

Currently Ancestry offer 27% rebate on subscriptions via this method. So later this year I should get about £24 or so back off the £89.99. It isn't always guaranteed but when I bought FindMyPast last year, I got £46 back.

Thanks for the tip on Quidco, I'm sure others will be interested too!

Apparently, if you are logged in and use this link or this link then click subscribe you should get a Ancestry secret offer... according to Last Cousin.

That will be the 40% discount on Premium subs I mentioned earlier.  Peter has obviously decided not to publicise which commission sites have the offer but just provide a couple of links.  The site I saw the offer advertised on I have used in the past and had no issues.  It would appear to be neither that are linked to in the LC newsletter.

If anyone hears of a similar offer for FindMyPast, or Scotlands People,  please publish it !!
