Are you definitely clicking on the link below? (Earlier in the thread you mentioned putting something into the search box - that wouldn't get the discount).

Could you tell us what happens after you click on the link? What do you see?

Have you any further suggestions... should I try on my lap top, do I need to log In To ancestry?

Yes try both of those.

I still get the same as b4 3 month & 6 math options...

How long since your sub ran out?  I didn't renew mine straight away and they actually offered me the same deal again after a few weeks, so I didn't need to use the link this time.

It ran out on 21st Jan, I cancelled it b4 then as I was going to be away in France and didn't want it auto renewed...
They had sent me a mail b4 hand reducing it to £132.00 but I chose not to take it knowing that last year I'd used Sandra's link at got it for £89.

I can't believe how dumb I can be sometimes..... must be down to my age or some other excuse!

I have just logged in to my Ancestry account , come back on here, clicked on the link and guess what...... yes you're correct its now come up with the discount of £89.99 that I had last year!

Thanks all for patience and suggestions to someone whose not half sharp!

Merry Christmas All!
Was wondering, the links to the cheaper subscriptions still appear to work, however, the suggestions on here are to cancel the existing subscription a few days before it runs out, and then renew using the half-price links. My worry is, if I do this, can I just log in as before and carry on revising and adding to my tree just as I have done previously?
If I try to renew using my same username and password, won't a window just pop up saying that someone (me!) is already using the same logins and I will have to use new ones.....effectively forcing me to start afresh!

Yes absolutely.

I cancel a couple of weeks beforehand, wait a few days after the expiry date, then use the link to renew using my existing details.

Lots of posts about this, the offer is still valid, providing you don't have a current sub.
This post may help to explain how to go about it:

NB double check that the cancellation has gone through prior to the expiry date, the process seems to have been a bit long winded for me this year but I did eventually get an email confirming the cancellation and all went smoothly after that.

Yes, I can confirm it still works. I used it only a few days ago, as I mentioned in another thread. I cancelled my subscription a couple of days before it expired. On the day of expiry, I still had full access until about 1 p.m. UK time, when I noticed that although still logged in, I was now the holder of a Guest Account.

I waited a couple of hours, used the link explained above, and took out a new worldwide subscription for £89.99

Nothing is lost, other than the ability to view records during the "downtime" between subscriptions. Just remember to repeat in 12 months time, or it will auto-renew at £179-99!
