Default 1939 Register -discount code

When I purchased credits for a 5 household bundle I wasn't given the opportunity to enter my 25% discount code. I emailed support at Find my Past and have just had a reply saying they are refunding £6.24 to my debit card.

If it happens to you, complain. It took a couple of days but they did say that they have been receiving a lot of emails.

I wonder how many others it happened to. I know Daphne said she didn't get hers.

I haven't even been offered a discount, and I have been a subscriber for years.

Email them and ask for a discount code, Elizabeth.

Didn't you have to register an interest in the 1939 register and get regular emails to qualify for a discount?

That was one way, Marg, and you were supposed to get a 10% discount for that. But all annual subscribers to FMP were also supposed to get a 25% discount (the two can't be used together on the same purchase.) I didn't get either of those and when I emailed FMP support they sent me codes.

Also, if you are signed up for the "Lost Cousins" newsletter you should have a 10% discount code in the latest one of those. And I believe that Genes Reunited subscribers are also supposed to have been sent a code, not sure what percentage it is for.

I should probably mention that if you splash out and buy the 15 household bundle, you can't use a discount code but the price per household works out more or less the same as if you buy the 5 household bundle with a 25% discount (the discount codes can only be used once each.)

I got a refund too. I used the link, the code showed but the discount wasn't taken off so like you Marg I e-mailed them and had a reply 2 days later. I expected to wait a lot longer with the amount of complaints they seem to be getting.

Elizabeth, if you have received a "Findmypast Fridays" email today, it should have a "reminder" of your discount code.
