Received an email at 08:02 GMT announcing a 24hr flash sale £49 + shipping.  When I clicked to find out more, it took me straight to my payment details.  I've googled 'Ancestry Flash Sale' but it doesn't pick anything up.

Not sure if it's only by personal invitation then.  Anyone else received an email today? Ayone want to  go onto Ancestry to see if it's an open Flash sale? Good price and I'm going to pick up a couple of test kits.

Kit
Rimmer/Appleton/Ashcroft: St Helens, Lancs // Cul(le)y:St Helens & Little Bolton // Stott: Huyton Quarry & Sutton, Lancs
Carson:Belfast? & St Helens // Kelly:Mullingar, West Meath? & St Helens // Ronan: Ferns, Wexford & St Helens // Daley:Oranmore & Athenry, Co Galway //
Cunningham: Heworth, Gateshead & Widnes & St Helens, originating Ireland
Edgar: Bellie, Moray // Anderson: Selkirk // Rutherford: Hobkirk, Roxburghshire //
Stewart: Angus // Watson: Moray & Jamaica // Watt: Cairnie

Mine was too.   Obviously they think they can rip off some people  ::)

ADDED I wonder if it is linked to the type of subscription you have, the one I have at the moment is UK only and was on an exceptional price reduction offer  ;D

Rosie I have worldwide membership at full rate so they obviously think I don't need much of a discount.  Shan't be taking them up at that price - cheaper to wait for black Friday.

Well I've not received one at all. ???

That said in spite of having a UK sub for whatever reason I only seem to get the Australian Ancestry DNA emails, and yet I've never had a sub for Ancestry Australia. :-X

I'm debating seeing whether my uncle will agree to do a test so probably look for Black Friday offers.  Did contemplate taking out Amazon prime trial at the beginning of the week to get one for £53 but hadn't asked so didn't see the point in case he says no.  Not always easy to get hold of by phone so would have been speculative.
