When I checked on the 'my account' details it says I will pay £179 - any ideas what I might be doing incorrectly?

It would do as that would be the renewal price if you had not cancelled.  Mine expires this evening so shall be making use of the offer, particularly as got Dad's DNA tested this year. :D

Thank  you rosie99 for noting that - mine had run out but I had forgotten to mention that in my post.

I also checked it had run out by doing a couple of searches, at first it looked as I would expect but when I clicked to open records it took me to a subscription page so it definitely looks as though it has been cancelled.

If you have cancelled, then renew on the link to get those much lower prices.

Glad to see you taking advantage of those lower prices again.

Happy New Year

Will be interesting to see what I have been charged when I next see my bank details.

I did use the link to access the offer shown on this thread but I don't feel as though that has worked for me nor have I been given the special half price offer advertised today.

Will keep you posted.

Did you cancel your subscription - rather than let it renew automatically ?

Thanks for your interest Sandra. Yes I cancelled it a couple of days before it was due to renew automatically. After the due date I checked it had  not renewed and whilst the opening page looked the same and it let me search a name it would not allow access to open any document, so I presumed it had cancelled successfully. I also left it for a couple of days after that just to make sure - before using the link.

Oh!! I am now hopeful that I may have been given the reduced price ( despite what it says on my account details on ancestry) as I have just had a confirmation email welcoming me to the Ancestry site the site and in that it mentions the price in the link. Fingers Crossed!

If I could just clarify - that this ancestry offer  on the link below does not expire on 4 th January 2020 but has been going since as far back as 2016 - you must cancel your subscription when it comes up for renewal and then use this link to resubscribe to get the good prices..........
