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

Happy New Year
Sandra   :) :)

Thanks Sandra, yup just renewed at the reduced price again.  Now renewing 29/12 instead of 28/12 as recent years but that's because I just get later in the day renewing each year and just tipped past midnight. ;)

Interestingly I've not seen anything on the website nor their Facebook page about a Premium offer this year which posted about here, I'm sure last year it was definitely visible to all by the 27th as Mum made use of it on the 28th.  I wouldn't expect an email anyway as had subscription and unfortunately Ancestry seems to think I live in Australia and only sends me offers for there even though my account and subs have only ever been taken out on the UK site.  Seemed to happen after I purchased a DNA test from the UK site last year, ever since just get Aussie offers which aren't much use. ::)

Happy New Year

Hi
 just wanted to update Sandra and other very helpful people on this thread.

 My subscription does seen to have renewed and for just 89.99, so I am absolutely delighted - thankyou. That is the price showing on my 'Order History' so I am now feeling more positive that the offer really has worked.

If ever in any doubt, take screenshots of the offer page before doing anything.

This link is amazing, thank you so much! :D

I received an email from Ancestry a few days ago offering a 6 month worldwide membership for £79.99 (discounted from £99.99) which seemed pretty extortionate.

I'm very glad I checked on here, and was able to get an annual worldwide membership for £89.99!

Why are they only offering 6 month memberships now.... I let mine lapse with a view to using the code on here only to find for world wide for just 6 months is more expensive than I paid for a whole year!

Have they changed the settings for this does anyone know please?

Thanks

I have found a couple of times that the link took me to the normal subscription page first.  But when I try it again it goes to the 50% discount page as below.

Hi Sloe Gin

I've triedon numerous occasions and I've even put the whole thing into the search box and I still come up with either the 3 month or 6 month subs!
I'm doing it on my iPad ....that shouldn't make a difference though should it?

Last year I just clicked on Sandra's link and hey presto I was in and got my subs at half price. I let it run out this year ( end of Jan) and have just tried to re do and I'm not having any luck at all. 😭😭

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

It's very frustrating.... I'll be blowed if I'm going to pay full price as it's expensive  but my DNA was done via them!

Thanks in anticipation

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.
