Why be "loyal" on FindMyPast?
« on: Sunday 02 February 25 09:41 GMT (UK) »
As I always do, I cancelled my FindMyPast subscription just before it ran out, to ensure it wouldn't auto renew. It ran out on 29th January.

Auto renewal would have come with FindMyPast's loyalty discount of 15%.

Quote:
If you have a 12-month subscription you’re entitled to a 15% loyalty discount for your next 12-month subscription.

In an email timestamped 23:00 on 1 Feb, FindMyPast offered my a 20% discount to renew... ???

I cancel mine the day after restarting it, so that I don't forget ...  ;D

I've occasionally subscribed to FindMyPast, but only for a month at a time and usually on a special offer.
Today I've received an email offering me a year's 'Everything' sub at 50% off, ie £99.99.  Only available to those who receive the email.
So I've snapped it up.

if there's a link or a code, I'm sure other members would love to give it a go, just on the off chance!

There's no visible code, just a link "Get your discount now" in the email.

"The discount is only valid for customers who received this email" so if you're not currently subscribed, but have been in the past, it might be worth waiting for a week or so to see if you get the email.
