FindMyPast have never offered extra days to Britain subscribers previously, only those with Worldwide subs. The cynic in me would say they had only included the Irish records this time to avoid giving all subscribers three extra days.  Not everyone has research interests in Ireland, I don't, but if it had covered some other country they have records for it would have been of interest. ::)

I have only ever suscribed to BRITISH records on FindMyPast, but have been given 3 extra days on THIS occassion! but probably only because I complained about the constant free weekends!
I did not get the extra 3 days added automatically!

This is where the whole system is unfair. Why are they giving to some British Subscribers yet not to others?  I'm not moaning as I'm a World Subscriber, but it does seem very unfair the way they are going about it.

Well, I've finally got a result, albeit a halfhearted one.

I've had three days added to my subscription, but not because I am entitled to it. It is being given as a gesture of goodwill 'on this occasion'

I still cannot understand why some uk subscribers get it without asking, some are refused and some get it after a fight.

The moral of this story:- If you believe you're right, never, ever give up.

Thanks to everyone for their help and interest.
