Pro is now showing as £159.99 per annum, about 60% more than I paid on my last sub renewal for Britain 12 month sub.

Mine is still £135

i've had the email as well but have only been putting any hints on which i know was correct so not searching in those other categories. I may well decide to change my membership.

I can now view the world records too  ;D Thanks everyone for your helpful impute. The jury is out for me whether I renew my subscription, it will all depend on the price at the time. I think they should offer all of us who have been subscribing for years a discount for the inconvenience, as quite a lot of people will have to pay for world records they don't want  :(

Same here...

I've had a subscription to FindMyPast for a good many years which was a 12 month Britain Subs & cost £119.99 (but had 15% loyalty discount on renewal) so cost only £101.96. It renewed OK at end of January this year. Today had an email from FindMyPast telling me that they are discontinuing the Britain Subs and I am now on an access all areas PRO subscription so I can enjoy all what I have now plus extra USA/Canada, Australia/NewZealand & other global records, however this is up to my renewal next Jan when they will tell me changes in renewal cost.

Now I see that PRO subs costs £159.99 and indeed gives me the full works & if similarly loyalty discounts would only cost £135.99. Also I have found that the lower spec PLUS subscription costs £119.99, same as what I'm paying now, but it does not include newspapers, which I use a great deal. So in essence if I want to pay the same as I do now then I lose access to BNA or I have to pay more to get BNA & also get worldwide data that I'm not really interested in.
   
I assume I can downgrade from PRO to PLUS on renewal and then access newspapers via BNA

John ~

I've had the Pro sub since 2018 (see earlier post #6) and I get a 15% loyalty discount which reduces the annual sub to £135. I have access to all, including newspapers.
