"Cold turkey"

[ambers]

Hi Jean,

I thought about doing that until I can find out what Countries most of my relli's went to, they shot off to so many different places from Cornwall.

That seems a bit mean to me...I got 20% off, but it isn't the Global version, so maybe they don't offer as much off that. A bit unfair though as it costs so much. The monthly sub sounds like an option at least until you find a few connections, then you can re-consider 
Good luck anyway

I have the global subscription but I pay monthly. Costs a bit more the the yearly but as I couldn't afford the whole amount in one go decided to go for the monthly option.

"A bit more" ? 

It's a whopping 50% more !  If you paid for it by credit card, and only paid the minimum amount (I mean 1/12 of the money every month), you would still save 30% on the monthly price !

My sub ran out back in November (?) and I didn't renew, I needed a break I thought, but then back in June there was a link on a board here  to a special discount - half price - offer for Ancestry, on all the different subs, so I couldn't resist and took the offer up on the World Wide Sub - yippee!
Offer expired at end of June tho

I tried ringing again to see if I could budge them into giving me a better discount than 10% on the Global sub £155.00.....no  

I told them I wasn't going to re-new my sub, so I am an X member from the 29th

Already I am thinking about giving in

Don't give up ambers, keep your eyes open for a special deal either on the site or via a link somewhere....there's bound to be something coming up soon   
Also have a look at FindMyPast which has a lot of records very similar to Ancestry and is cheaper. They also have a lot of options such as pay-as-you go, six-monthly sub, and I think you can still buy vouchers for, say, a month or so, which may help you to decide whether or not you like the site. There's also The Genealogist, but I have no experience of that so can't give you any information.
Good luck

I think FindMyPast's loyalty scheme is fairer -  a set discount for renewing your membership rather than offering a variable percentage discount, if any, to tempt you back.

FindMyPast does not have all the census though, which is sooo frustrating.

Don't forget you can save your clubcard points and exchange them for Family Tree Maker Platinum which includes a 6 month essentials membership to Ancestry.
