Can anyone let me know whether the Ancestry subscription link which Trevor Rix kindly mentioned in his post of 15 September 2017 is still available to get the 50% discount on Ancestry subscriptions.

The wording was:

“Subscribing to both Ancestry and Findmypast is more affordable if this link is used to obtain a 50% discount on Ancestry”

And the click-on link mentioned was:

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/cs/offers/sub ... e+External

Last  year, I was able to successfully use the link and get the discounted subscription. However, now when I click on the link, what appears is just an Ancestry page with the normal subscription amount (£99.99 for a 6 month subscription).

Thanks genuinely Phil & Neil. Very helpful - I have been able to obtain the discounted Ancestry subscription.

I can, however, confirm that there are no longer discounts for Ancestry’s Worldwide subscription - I enquired yesterday as I’d paid half price for it for the last couple of years… might consider returning to the UK subscription next time.

Nicola, whilst there are no discounted offers being advertised, I think it depends to some extent who you happen to speak to and what you ask for.

 

I renewed WW recently for £89.99. I didn’t ask for a half price WW sub. I just mentioned that I had paid £89.99 for it last year, that I am retired with a finite income, and then asked if there was anything they could do for me regarding my renewal. The result was £89.99 again.

 

I have seen on RootsChat that people are still getting that price. The latest was yesterday. If the agent you are speaking to doesn’t make the offer you want, be prepared to politely decline and try again a day or two later, when the chances are you will be speaking to someone else.
