FTM 2012 - Avanquest

[Raven]

Have just had an email from Avanquest offering a 2012 upgrade for FTM for £19.99 and available now it seems

[Elaine ..Spain]

I see it only includes a one month Essential sub to Ancestry.
I don't think sales will compare very well to the 2011 version which included the 6 months Premium sub!

So, is anyone going order it?

[Raven]

lol I've ordered it from TWR.... £19.95 (typical scot)....

[Elaine ..Spain]

Hope you got the additional £3 discount as well Raven - they've quoted me £16.95! ;)

[Raven]

lol yep

[Heather Positive Thinker]

And did you go through topcashback??


Im not sure if I will get it yet. Ive still got another 2011 to activate for the 6 months premium sub. I should think more 2011 offers will come through now with may be the world wide sub thrown in (like the 2010 Im using now)

[Elaine ..Spain]

Think I might wait a while.
Amazon have the 2012 Platinum edition for 47.99 pounds which appears to include a 6 month Premium sub (worth 53.70 pounds).
Will be interesting to see what TWR offer it for!

Hi,
Apart from the financial savings can I get your views on upgrading to FTM 2012 - I have FTM 2010.

It took me ages to move from FTM 2005 but now I am into the swing of things and fairly happy using 2010.
Do you think there are any advantages to moving to 2012? Will I see any vast improvements etc?
I do not have any public trees so the ability to synchronise to on-line trees is not an issue.
I think I have just talked myself into staying with 2010 for the mean time!? - maybe!!!!!

Folks, so have you now got 2012 installed and if so what it worth it.
What is the biggest benefit it gives you...

Hi, this is my first time on the forums. I've just installed FTM 2012. I'm having problems with the 14 days free access, you have to enter credit card details and if you forget to cancel at the end of the time they will bill you. I have world wide deluxe and they are offering UK heritage, I don't want to use it under these circumstances but I can't get rid of the offer or access any of the information unless I accept the offer. Have contacted them but what they suggested didn't work. So I'm paying for my subscription but can't use it.

[Elaine ..Spain]

How did you contact them? You generally get much a much better result/service with these sort of problems if you make a phone call to Ancestry rather than trying to contact FTM by message. There is a freephone number to use - on this link

They are generally VERY helpful and can sort the problem over the phone.

.. and welcome to the forum, Tora. Let us know how you get on!

[Tora]

Thanks for your concern Elaine. After 2 days this problem has rectified itself. I did ring Ancestry and they sent me an email with 4 steps to follow which I did, this may have fixed the problem but took 2 days to do it.

Had an update tonight for ftm2012, seems to be aimed at synch problems, hope it cures the couple I have had (not that its caused much problem) if it does will be very happy with this version
