    seriously thinking of taking up a subscription for fmp as I have never had one with them before and they seem to have a lot to offer on kent ancestors. Are there any discount codes around or offers please?

    I'm a bit confused too Gloryer. I was a subscriber on the PLUS until a few days ago and have had an e-mail saying that I can still get my 15% loyalty discount (I don't know what the usual full price is though). However, when I Googled for prices this link came up offering 17% off, making it £120. I always understood that the loyalty discount would be the same or better than any other offers!

          they just charged me £132.56, which was a discount of 15%, not much of a discount is it.

              OH buys my subscription to FMP as a Christmas present.

              It is actually to fmp.com.au because they offered a free trial many years ago and I was looking for Australian records. I cancelled within the 2 weeks, but they kept updating me with new records so it was easier to go with them about 4 years ago when he offered the gift. I have the World subscription which includes the 1939 Register and the newspapers, but I think there might have been a change and I'm just grandfathered in for the newspapers???

              Last December, they charged $203.58 AUD for the World Subscription ........ which translates to £111.37 at today's conversion rate (if transferwise.com is to be believed). It might have been higher £ back in December though!

              I have to say the price has increased over the 4 years for exactly the same World subscription ...............

              $99.75 AUD in 2015
              $179.55 AUD in 2016
              $203.58 AUD in 2017 and 2018

                Tom buys one of my subs for xmas,;) I buy the other, as I like the other presents he buys me too, with the money he saves on one sub.

                  We've settled on OH only buying me the subs for FMP, Ancestry and GR (ca £9), dinner out and flowers for our anniversary, and no other presents ............. after 51+ years we both have everything we might want or need.

                  Same goes for me buying him presents ............. though he usually loses out 'cos he almost never has subs that I can afford!

                    I do think FMP should give out more of a discount to loyal members.

                      At least they give us an automatic discount - one which we don't have to ask or haggle for!!

                            I think you were actually asking Carolyn, but I have Pro Subscription which is World, Newspapers and 1939. It cost me£132.60, like you, after the discount just last month.

                            This is the page for the others.

                            https://www.findmypast.co.uk/subscribe

                            It seems that newspapers are only included in Pro now - but considering the cost of the sub from the BNA I reckon it's very good value.

                              well I have finally taken out a full subscription but the 14 day free trial offer seemed to have disappeared. Not very impressed so far as I keep getting oops we are having trouble getting those records.........and even if they do seems to find them they seem to take forever to load.
                              I did manage to find a couple of snippets in the papers

                                    They have also posted that apology for search interruptions and problems on GR ......... they share the same search engine with FMP, of course!

                                      It is the highest - it includes everything and you can't downgrade during the year. But it should say what is available on each subscription for anyone else who looks and is logged in.

                                        They are having probelms on FMP at the moment, gloryer. I don't suppose it will last too long. When you get the hang of it FMP searches are MUCH, MUCH better than Ancestry for the same things. Then, of course they have the things that Ancestry doesn't have, stick with it, I'm sure it will get better soon.
