Glad you managed to get it sorted Hugh.  :)

Yes, you need that confirmation email, otherwise I think you should assume you will be charged full price next month.

I would email FindMyPast help and tell them (clearly) that you do NOT want to autorenew and you are unable to get the box to stay ticked. See if they can sort it out for you rather than hope for the best in a month's time.

They are usually good with getting back to you, though sometimes I think they get a bit confused, which is why I advised making it very clear what you want.  ;) (I've had to re confirm this kind of thing with a couple if different people in the past)

Good luck.

Do they offer this value frequently or was this a one off?

If you want to continue from the latest FindMyPast month for a quid, now it's two months for under a fiver

For a limited time, you can enjoy 15% off your second month with us, and as an added bonus we’ll thrown in your third month for free*. That’s a saving of over 50% on the normal price for the next two months.

Month 1 - Expires on [my £1 expiry date]

Month 2 - £8.46 (15% off the normal price of £9.95)

Month 3 - FREE



which will make a total of £10.46 for 4 months so far this year

As opposed to the £64 annual sub they didn't want to offer as they don't intend to offer such deep discounts any more.

Daft.

You seem to have been offered a much better deal than me  :-\

MY £1 (note this was from UK site and in pounds sterling) expired 1 June (yesterday)

This morning (sent just after midnight) there's a new email- renewal at 9.95 Euros (no discount mentioned) from FindMyPast.ie even though I am in the UK, have a UK email address, paid £1, etc.  ::)

Just to say I used the July £1 offer and unticked the renew box. Only to have been charged for a months Worlds sub, that I neither wanted or asked for. I have unticked the box again and sent them a message.....so buyer beware ::)

Edited
Ok I see my problem , it is not a simple case of unticking a box, you need to confirm, more fool me  ???
