That's really good - well done :-D
At this time of year, every penny (saved) counts

My payment inc transaction/convertion fee has been charged as £34.02. That works for me + there is still enough left from the 'gift' to put towards a cert or 2, or something else

The saga of the FMP subscription just got even better this morning

When I got the email from the Aus site offering the 50% discount, I decided to check all the options, so I went to Quidco and opened the site in that to see what the deal was. It didn't look as good, so I went back to the email and followed the link to the Aus site from there and paid.

This morning I got an email from Quidco telling me that my cashback had tracked. They had converted the dollars to £43.40 and gave me £15.19 cash back So a years world wide subscription is just costing me £28.21. Absolutely brilliant, it must have happened because I still had the quidco link to the site open when I paid

Like DET I renewed for $49.88 - well, not exactly 'renewed'. I too was one of those Beta testers and last year received a Black Friday email. I took that offer up and advised others:-

In case an offer was going to be made this year and possibly only available to newly registered members I did just that with a spare email account. So, for the next few days I can access FMP.com world records from my two accounts…….

Either way, they are both cheaper than the full GBP price!

That is very good, I hadn't seen the 75% one before I did the Aussie one. Never mind, I am still very pleased with the one I got

Yesssss!

Used the 75% off THANKSNOV15 code on the .com site, US$49.88 world wide for 1 year.
It works out at about £33 but there will be CC charges. Will post the total charged on my CC account when its appeared on-line.

I had a lapsed account on that domain, dating from when Estelle was organising Beta testers.

There is a link to 50% off the FMP UK site on the Lost Cousins website which can be used by anyone until the 30th, but it is £5.40 per month, so the Australian offer is far cheaper

According to the bloggers website both discounts are available until 30th November

I didnt try the discount on the UK site because 50% off there was still going to be more if I remember correctly

You need to create a new account I think,
I already had an aussie account because I once took a free one month trial with them to get some records which at that time were not available on the UK site, they just continued to send me emails

After I subscribed I tried go in into the site through my book marked UK site, but that still wanted me to subscribe,, so I deleted that bookmark and saved the .au one instead. I have been in and out of the au site a couple of times and it knows me. All the records are available on either site,

It is such incredibly good value, if you need a subscription, it is too good to miss

Do you have to create a new account on the appropriate domain?? Or can either discount codes be used on the co.uk site?

My UK FMP subscription had lapsed a couple of weeks ago. The best discount I could find was £40 off through Quidco. Luckily I hadn't got round to it because I got an email this morning from the Australian FMP site offering me 50% off a worldwide subscription
They take it as a single payment of 99.75 which today is £47.72 UK pounds, brilliant value

The discount code is BFRIDAY15

It all went through with no problem and I had a nice on line chat to one of their operatives before I did it to make sure there would be no problems
