My subscription ran out on the 3rd of this month and I've been trying the link every day with no luck. I suppose I can't complain as I've used for the last few years, but I really can't justify paying the thick end of £200, so I'll probably just buy the odd month over those cold winter months

It does still work. People in another group I belong to have had problems but got it eventually. One found it didn't work using Chrome as a browser but worked straight away when they used Edge, so it's worth trying different browsers. Try different hardware - I couldn't get it on my laptop but it worked on my phone. Double check you are showing as guest. Log out and in again.

As someone pointed out when I posted the DNA offer, Ancestry are currently offering 3 months worldwide subscription for effectively £11, the cost of also buying the DNA kit for £59 + £9.95 postage  +£1 :)

Thanks, I've often wondered how much they charge for "shipping". It doesn't seem to give that information anywhere.

I just bought three DNA kits from their Ancestry website and as I am a Prime member postage was free.

Suggest you try taking out a Prime 30 day trial, then order the DNA kit.

It is a little more expensive to order via Amazon for multiple kits as it is £69 per kit instead of £59, ordering via the Ancestry website, you get charged £9.95 P&P for the first kit, then £4.95 for each extra kit I think, so that might have saved you about £10 :-[. The deal to get the Worldwide subscription would only be via the Ancestry site.

It doesn't Sloe, I think I usually just go through a dummy run order to remind myself usually. The costs for standard delivery (about 5 working days?) are as I stated above, express delivery (1-2 days) I think is £20 for one kit, not sure how much extra per kit  :o.

£9.95 isn't cheap, but I was imagining it to be a lot higher, simply because they don't say what it is!
It puts me off when people aren't up-front with prices.
