FMP renewal query - Genealogists' Forum

Kit · #1 16-07-15, 12:49

I just checked my FMP sub and it is due to expire in less that 2 weeks. My account is set to auto renew.

My question is will they send me an email before they do it or should I change it to not auto renew?

I have the pioneer worldwide sub thing that was just under $60 a year. Does anyone else have that and have they had to renew yet?

If you change it to not auto-renew, I don't think you will get the chance to renew at the original price, because that's what happened to me after the first year.

I'm fairly sure I make a payment each year rather than they take the money but I want to know the price before anything happens, not after.

I'm also not sure what credit card I used so any payment may not work anyway.

I doubt they'll make the offer for a 4th year. My sub. expires in 9 days & I also untick auto-renewal. For the past 2 years FMP have contacted me offering the same price ($59.99) & last year I renewed 11 days before expiry. This year I've heard nothing. I'd happily renew at the same price but if no offer is forthcoming then I shall probably let it lapse for a while.

I've just had an email from them saying that there will not be a Pioneer renewal offer like there have been in previous years. A bit disappointing really.

Someone has a thread somewhere else on here saying there is a 50% discount code if you are interested.

Thanks: I've just renewed. Having paid £35 for the past 3 years & knowing I can't get the same deal, £64 seems reasonable.

Believe there's an offer for new subscribers to FMP for £1 (for a month?) but ends on 31st July

I emailed FMP as my renewal is coming up at the end of this month. The response was that with my 10% discount, it would be £89 this year. Not good for me as the Canadian dollar is really low at the moment! I've previously had a six monthly subscription and changed to annual last year.

I've unticked the auto renewal box...

I got free FMP membership through OH's account for The Times on-line. Not for everyone I know but I do wonder if other newspapers have a similar offer?

I don't know what the Times offer is but I get the times and gale newspapers for nothing through the state library membership.
