Ancestry subscription - Aargh!

[ElizabethHerts]

I let my Ancestry subscription lapse a couple of weeks ago as I have been so busy. I was going to renew it using this, which I checked still worked:

https://www.familytreeforum.com/forum/family-tree-forum-community-boards/general-discussion/65769-ancestry-50-discount-offer

It doesn't seem to work any more. :mad:

I get this, with no mention of an annual subscription:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/cs/offers/subscribe?dna=crossAct&o_iid=70089&o_lid=70089&o_sch=Web+Property

I have to go into my account settings to see Premium Annual membership for £119.99.

I was going to renew this weekend but I shan't at the moment.

Well it was fun while it lasted.

I renewed yesterday using that link, but I had to use a different browser - otherwise the discount didn't show.

In fact, following the link above, it offers me a year at £59.99?

[Mary from Italy]

I found last year that the link initially didn't work, but I kept trying, and it worked again after a few days. No idea why.

Which browser are you using, Lindsay?

Microsoft Edge takes me to a page that says £74.99 for 6 months.
Google Chrome says £69.99 for 6 months.

Both from the same link.

Try using the Chrome browser or clear out your cache and cookies but beware not to lose passwords.

Which browser are you using, Lindsay?

Microsoft Edge takes me to a page that says £74.99 for 6 months.
Google Chrome says £69.99 for 6 months.

Like you, Elizabeth, for me using Edge gave £74.99 for 6 months. Chrome initially said £69.99 for 6 months, but I tried a couple of times and the offer appeared.

As Maggie said, perhaps try clearing cookies?

Thanks!

Maggie's link is only for new subscribers. Doees one have to pretend to be a new customer to use it?

[kiterunner]

I think you would just have to cancel your sub or let it expire before trying.

[ElizabethHerts]

My sub lapsed over a week ago.

still working from the link using firefox

Try UK top deals and see if there's something there.

I did in January and got half price worldwide.

[ElizabethHerts]

Which ever link I click on it defaults to one set of rates - including £74.99 for 6 months. I have tried signing out, to no avail.

[ElizabethHerts]

I'm cautiously excited.

I decided to revisit my emails from Ancestry.

I discontinued my membership and checked the offer would work straight away, which it did, but as we were so busy left it for a few days, after which it wouldn't work.

I found an email asking me to finish checking out.

This is what it says:

Your order summary

Do you agree I get charged £59.99 now and thereafter £119.99 starting from next May?

I don't want to click on it and get a nasty shock!

[ElizabethHerts]

Yes! Finally, I renewed for a year at £59.99.

Now I can look at the Sussex registers.

[JBee]

You just cancel before the end of the year and look for other offers

[ElizabethHerts]

Haha!

I renewed yesterday at £59.99 for a year.

I've just received an email offering me 4 months for £20!

I note they no longer advertise the year-long deals.

[Lindsay]

Glad you managed to get there, Elizabeth.

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks, Lindsay.
