Ancestry annual sub for £35?

[Alan]

Thank you Glen
I renewed my Ancestry basic on 14 Jan, just saw this and cancelled it.
Done the Oz world one and still save a few quid, it makes me mad the way we get ripped of by everyone in this country.
I owe you one.
Many Thanks Alan.

Another bump

[Uncle John]

My UK sub. runs out in June. I wonder what offers there will be then.

Many thanks Glen

I didn't renew my sub in October because of the price hike. This is certainly a good deal.

Time will tell Uncle John.

If Ancestry play hardball with the UK prices then it could come back to bite them so there may be some offer coming soon, they have already done 50% deals via the US site as well as the current offer via the Australian site......it would be too much to hope for 50% off here but we live in hope.



Also thanks to Alan and rkic for adding their replies.

No wonder it's known as "Rip-off Britain", so many things are more expensive than the exact same thing in other parts of the world. This Ancestry thing is a classic example.

[Guest]

well I am so pleased I took the world one out I have already found a couple of mine on the us records which werent available on the UK subscription I had and for about the same price too.

I've just subscribed, my FMP subscription expires tomorrow and this was much cheaper so thought I'd give it a go!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the link Glen.!!

I too have just renewed my Ancestry subs. through the Australian site. Have been waiting in vain since early December for an e mail from the UK site offering a discount...... am still waiting, so thought, well Australian Ancestry.....Here I Come!!!

UK Heritage works out, I think, about £39.85 at todays exchange rate. That'll do nicely thanks!

Glen...... you should be on commission!!!

I haven't had the begging e-mail after my sub expired either, perhaps they are using the UK price to sub the discount being offered? Or maybe the belief is that either the UK has a lot more potential customers willing to stand the price or Ancestry think they have cornered the market.

Hi Jill

You can't "bolt" one on to the end of another so to speak, with your current sub only being half way through then there isn't much that you can do to save some expense,

If you took advantage of the Aussie ofer then it would mean you have to do one of two things

i. Cancel your existing sub, (but you don't get a refund on any unused months) and take the Australian offer.

ii. Take the Australian offer, keep your existing sub and have two memberships. (but you might need two different user names).

Assuming your existing sub is based on the current prices you have at least £48 you can't get back so either way you will find it cheaper to keep your existing sub and hunt around again before your renewal.

Unfortunately because you still have a sub until August the timing of the current Australian offer doesn't work in your favour.

Hi Glen

Thank you for that I didn't think I would be able to but thought I would ask just in case.

Regards
Jill

Thanks Glen, subs ended last Oct and I felt it was too expensive as I have FMP too, this made it acceptable. ;) :D
