Yes, well I might have to bite the bullet and pay the price less the 15%... last year somehow I managed to get a year for under £100 think it was a special offer!
I too have been with them along time and found them very useful...

Thanks again

Thanks for the tip of being logged in Rosie99 it went straight to the offer from the link Sandra posted - Just tried to renew I’m hoping that it’s just a blip as I keep getting this message

“There seems to be a problem with your order. Please try again later or contact Member Services.”

Will try again tomorrow - 🤞

Caw1 - can I ask did it show this message when you renewed when you were logged on to your account?

   *Offer available for new subscribers only and not for renewal of current subscriptions.

Edit to add - I don’t currently have a subscription cancelled my renewal two weeks ago

It does, but as soon as your subscription has expired completely and you are showing as a guest, you count as a new member and it works.

Has your subscription expired - it doesn't expire as soon as you cancel, it runs as normal until the end of the subscription.

So you should be able to use the discount.

I was hoping so......I've given it another go this morning and I'm still receiving this notice
“There seems to be a problem with your order. Please try again later or contact Member Services.”  ???

Will leave it a couple of days and will try again if it still doesn't work then I'll get my OH to sign up
and hopefully that should do the trick.

Will report back

Really sorry to read your having a problem. It was ok last month so this would be a new development if it is not working now.  :-\

4 th October was about the last successful update I saw.
