Looking at their terms & conditions at http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/nameindex/products.php?&showterms=yes#terms

Apparently: Credits have no monetary value - they are a means of ensuring fair access.

So why does it cost to buy them?  ???

I did a similar offer at this site before and just the same as it is now my results return nothing of interest. I would never subscribe to this site anyway as there are better sites out there that do not operate with this credit system.

No, it certainly is not. The site is owned by Genealogy Supplies (Jersey) Ltd.
I have been a member of the SOG for about 10 years, and I can assure you that the resources they provide are well worth the subscription. Some of the information I have had from using the Army List alone, has been outstanding. An Aladdin's cave, no less.

I am a very satisfied customer of The Genealogist, although I do have Ancestry too. I find the BMDs very easy to search, I can keep my place, unlike on Ancestry. They also have Phillimore transcriptons of marriage registers for many parishes I need, and an increasing number of specialist indexes, like Army and Navy lists. Give it a try!

I don't know what you guys are on about, i've been with TheGenealogist for ages and I love them !  If you dont like the credit based subscriptions you could have gone for a credit free instead.  The trial does say you only get 25 credits so it's quite clear on that, I guess the 30 day bit is how long it's valid for.  Their census is much nicer to print out than ancestry and I've found them to always be pretty helpful whenever I have a problem.  They've always replied to my emails super fast unlike some companies that take about a week to reply.

I've got subs with both TheGenealogist and Ancestry.   I've never had a problem with TheGenealogist - their census search by address is excellent.

I guess they must have changed abit over the years.  The Keyword search is my favourite, you can add just about any thing without a name and search across all the transcribed records.  I've found quite a few bits on there that have been elusive else where.   I wish they would hurry up tho and add the 1911, I keep hearing it's coming on in the Diamond sub but no news as yet  :'(
