Actually its a problem as Ive still got a few months to run - so do I lose those and rejoin or not, decisions decisions. In the meantime I also had some vouchers to use on tesco clubcard deals by the end of May and I bought a premium FTM program (which I dont need, got one already) but it did come with the 6 months free sub, which I can use after my present one runs out.

Do you get much more info for your money with premium membership if you don't need the Irish bit

Hi guys

Just wanted to say thanks for the tip. I had a 3 month free membership with FTM which expired. I've now rejoined using the link given using my existing username and password - no problems.

Thanks again - you've saved me a fortune!

Best wishes

Miriam

thanks loads ☼ ☼Uzzi In Sunshine ☼☼ have never been able to justify expense before. now will be signing up v soon

I've just signed up for the Ancestry half-price sub. No problem. I previously had a sub but did not renew when it expired a couple of months ago.

I went to the site and logged myself out then typed in the web address that Heather had posted. After I selected the sub I wanted I was asked to log-on if I was already a member. Did not have to give a different e-mail address.

I didn't get the e-mail.Just went to the landing.ancestry and opened new account.

good luck everyone...c&p the address given on this thread.

hi
ive emailed ancestry and rang them i did not get the email and renewed my subcription yesterday at £83 40 and to say the least im rather cheesed off that people are able to get it half price ill think twice before i renew with ancestry again apparently they send emails out over several days so you might get one yet george
sharon

My Subs are up next month & i wasn't going to re new, so looks like a phone call could be happening

Nicely timed then Brenda ...

Happy Birthday for Tuesday

For those of you who have tried to get the link through quidco,I found it doesn't work to get the offer.It takes you to the usual site.
I have signed up,having been a member before,but cancelled last year as I didn't think I'd get much more,but it is growing all the time,and as it's my birthday on Tues,I have given myself a present!! Why not??
Thankyou for letting us know the link Uzzi...much appreciated.

Well I can go to the discount offer page and Im still a member.

If anyone has already had a membership or one about to finish, Id just take out the new offer using another email addy - your OH's or whatever.

George I did wonder that and it will pick up the email but I am a registered member and the link didn't log me straight in.

Sudden thought for those of you who, like me, intend to hang on until nearly the end of June before taking up this offer. I have made a note of the address of the special offer page - not just bookmarked this thread. It has occurred to me that GR might take umbrage at us all rushing off to get a cheap deal on Ancestry and decide to wipe this thread out!

George - once you have made it to the offer page you might need to use a different email address. Plenty of free email addresses to be had at hotmail or google. Just to be sure that Ancestry does not recognise you as an existing punter.

Before you try the link provided in this thread, make sure that you are logged out of Ancestry on your computer. If that does not do the trick, turn your computer off and then on again. If that does not work either, you need to clean all the cookies off your system (this does mean that you lose all the log-in details that are automatically filled in when you visit a site you are registered with, but you just have to put them in manually on your next visit to the site and another cookie will be set up). Once your computer stops automatically taking you to your existing account, you should be able to access the page offering the discounts.

Load of rubbish that it is only available to people who get the email. All you need is the address of the offer page. There is nothing on that page to say you can't take up the offer unless you were personally invited. Person at Ancestry does not know what they are talking about!

Received the email last night from Ancestry.

My subscription run out in Feb and I was not in a position to renew at that time so have just taken advantage of the offer.

Maureen

George, I'm surprised that they are saying e-mail only as its also on
moneysavingexpert.com and hotukdeals.com

Wow, thanks for this link. My 6 month sub to ancestry essentials (cost 29.95 together with FTM at christmas), runs out in about 4 weeks time. Excellent timing. I shall cancel that sub and start a new one on Premium. If they jib at that because I already have a sub, I will just set myself up a new free email address and use that. I find most of these sites which won't let you take advantage of the new offers if you already subscribe recognise you by your email addy.

However, I think I might just ring them up first and see if I can persuade them to let me continue my existing membership on the new terms (not of course revealing what I plan to do otherwise). It's always worth a try.

Also if one subscribes to Quidco.com (£5 annual membership), you get a 25% discount off Ancestry fees. I am not sure if it is going to be possible to get to the special offer Ancestry page via Quidco, but if it is, it would save a further £13+ from the Premium sub, which more than covers the Quidco sub - enough to spare for another certificate in fact!

If anyone works out how to get both the Quidco discount and the reduced Ancestry sub, please will they let me know.

Tina

I have also had an e-mail this morning offering me 1/2 price membership this follows on from a 20% discount they offered me about 2 weeks ago.
My membership lapsed because I was away when it was due for renewal and didn't respond within the given time period.
I did rejoin but they don't seem to have realised this and keep trying to entice me back.
Think I'll wait and see,maybe in another couple of weeks I might get it for free!!!!!!!
