Each time I also did that last step, rolnora, but each time when I went back and checked the box was ticked!

I've just been back to check again and the box is still unticked so I think it's resolved. :)
Are you sorted now aghadowey?

I don't seem able to work this.
Could it be because I've had a subscription in the past and my name or password is stored and can't be re-used?
Can someone please tell me the procedure for signing up for this offer?

I think Frank said this offer finishes on the 22nd.

I don't know If that is the 22nd am or midnight maybe, so depending whereabouts in the world you are, it may have finished.

I was unable to sign up using the code entered into the code box, which is how it is usually done. I just happened to see an ad on my computer which I clicked on, and the discount was applied that way.

Others seem to have had varied success using the discount code, so for some reason it does not seem to work for some of us.

I hope someone can work ou through this step by step before the offer finishes.  :-\

These discounts still apply if you have had previous subscriptions or other discounted offers.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

After days trying to register the code without success, today it finally worked after I contacted FindMyPast to tell them of the problem.

I have subscribed to uk site (as normal) with no problems (using the 'enter code' choice) which automatically came up as £1.

Ruskie,

I think the time/date will be that of whichever country you subscribe from/to i.e. midnight in that country on 22 March?

Yes, I think that is usually the case Annie. I hope Hugh manages to sign up - it's very frustrating being led around in circles which is what happened with me ....  :-\

Probably a 'traffic jam'  ::)

People like me leaving it until last minute to stretch out the usage time?

No point in me (personally) subscribing before tonight as I would have lost too many hrs of availability time until it runs out  ;)

Yes, that's possible.
