My worldwide subscription expired yesterday.  Renewal for 2024 was £179.99. Went on chat line and was told no offers or discounts available whatsoever.
Rang  and spoke to a very nice person who offered me renewal at 89.99 so definitely worth ringing!

There's more than one topic on RC where you can find a code to use that offer online, after letting your subscription expire. I used it the day after mine expired in December. Several people have confirmed it is working since. It's worth saving the link and keeping an eye on the thread for any updates for next year ;)

It did disappear for a short time around the time of my renewal a couple of years ago. Like you I phoned support and very nicely explained that I had been offered a WW sub for £89.99 the previous couple of years, and I wondered if it would be possible again? The agent processed it for me :)

I phoned a couple of days after mine had expired and was given worldwide for £89.99. I was delighted.

Thanks for this info Aspen… think I might try this option, was it for an annual or 6 months the £89.99?

I cancelled mine in December and it ran to the expiry date. Once it had run out I just clicked Sandra’s link and it restarted immediately as it is holding my card details.  Last year I tried phoning and got no offer the first time so had to try again the next day.  It must be worth trying Sandra’s link first, there are lots of people who are getting good results from it

Thanks rosie… I did have a web chat on ancestry site as couldn’t cancel my sub and they’ve offered me a 50% discount if I call back on the cancellation date quoting a number they’ve given me.. so I’m going to try that as it works out the same cost as the link Sandra’s given.

Glad that you have been able to sort it out and will be able to get the discount.
