Thanks Sandra, I’ll give them a ring a day before my sub is up and🤞 I get someone nice and willing to offer me even what I paid for this current year (£89.99).
I like the suggestion that someone made on the current link you sent from RC comments to tell them what you paid this year but not where from or how! Good move.
Every penny counts these days especially if you have a sub elsewhere too!

To be honest I would wait until your sub expires then they have an incentive to offer you a good deal.

Just noticed this advert which says £48 off with a 12 month subscription. One to keep in mind if you can't get a decent offer out of them.

I telephoned Ancestry last Monday morning, a few days after my Premium membership expired, I had been using the link for the last 5 years. I asked if they would match the price (not saying how I got it) the lady I spoke to was charming, she checked my account and offered me the same price, no questions! So very happy!

Great news.  Thank you for updating, it gives everyone some hope  :)

This does seem to work for most people, especially those who have had a subscription for years. We had a person in the FaceBook group where I’m an Admin, who managed to get the UK subscription from Australia by calling via WhatsApp.

HELP !!!! Please

How do you find a telephone number to call Ancestry uk directly to discuss annual payment! I can’t find a number anywhere I’ve looked and defo don’t want to speak to a bot on a web chat!

If anyone can help I’ll be really grateful

Thanks in advance

Hi
Click on help at top of home page and then Support Centre. Press Chat with us, offers a few questions but just scroll down and it gives options for chat/phone! Bit of a wait to get advisor but worth it.
Tel UK 08007831340

Cathy

There is this info.

I personally used chat to start but you can click for an advisor.  Hope this helps

Cas - thank you so much for the link for the phone number..
I’ve just called them and they’ve given me the discount on the renewal so that it matches the £89.99 that I’ve been paying since 2019!

Much appreciated and to Cathy for the phone number.

If you don’t ask then you don’t necessarily get, so it’s always worth a try.

I was just going to post that I used that phone number! Great result! I must admit I found the person I talked to charming. As you say if you don't ask, you don't get  ;)
