Special offers at British Newspaper Archive

I've seen several discounts for a year subs.  I wondered which is the best offer currently available?

I'm surprised that I have had no replies.  The BNA web site suggests that you get a 48% reduction, but that is off the standard price for 12 single months.  The following link will give you a FURTHER 30% off that, which is the best I've found so far.

Scroll down to "Save 30% at British Newspaper Archive LINK UPDATED".  Valid until Sunday 28th.

There have been few if any offers from the BNA over the last 12 or so months.  It seems gone are the days when they offer 50% for a short period of time every so often so its probably unlikely that you'll find anything better than 30%.  The 30% does appear to be with a number of commission sites and not just Lost Cousins.  While I prefer the search and results facility on the BNA, can't justify paying for it on top of FindMyPast subscription unless was a really good deal such as half price.  I may be wrong but I think the last half price offer may have been Nov 2016, don't remember seeing any since.

smudwhisk, thank you.  I am going to go for the 30% offer.  It seems too good to miss.  i was going to try the one month offer, but a year at that price (15p a day!) is just too good.
