Cheers Trystan - yes, that makes sense.

I am pleased they are doing this and don't want to be left out   :)

Oh so pleased, my sub runs out at the end of Feb, so just enough time to get those 1939 details. ;D

Well I really hope they don't leave you out now. :) Give it a couple of days I'd say.

I also have received the email : Worldwide Subscriber.

I felt when the records first came out that it should be included as part of the package. I have not purchased any 1939 Records yet but may now have a browse. Most of my records are Australian at that point and the pertinent ones are Scottish which aren't included. So its not as if it has been a brickwall smasher for me.

I do feel sorry for those of you who have paid over the odds.

I am also slightly confused as to the extended subscription - but then again I am yet to have my 1st coffee :D

I also had an email today but I'm a little confused! All my info comes from FindMyPast.ie yet I'm in England and paid my world wide sub in £! I took advantage of the great offer that came out in US $ and it was added to my existing one and now I'm signed up until 2017!
BUT will I get to use the free 1939 info having paid in $?
Any thoughts would be great as I'm not at all sure what will happen.

Doesn't your email say "we are giving you unlimited access to ... The 1939 Register" in the first line?

Can't see why the currency you used to purchase your subscription should make any difference to that

I purchased an el cheapo sub for a month - ending on the 15th Feb. Free access to the 1939 register starts on the 16th::) Typical ....

That's the email we are discussing. Looks as if it applies to annual subscriptions only, not monthly.

I have only ever subscribed for the odd month here and there, and I received the email.

Ruskie, the free access only applies to annual subs, not monthly ones.

Thanks Smudwhisk, I just discovered that 2 minutes ago in the Lost Cousins newsletter.  :)
(I receive so many emails from FindMyPast that I tend not to bother reading them, hence missing the important fact about access to annual subscribers only)

Presumably they are sending the email to everyone who has ever subscribed to FindMyPast in the hope that this will persuade them to take up an annual subscription.
