Unfortunately it does look as if the original offer has ended.

That code ("HALF50") didn't work for me. If I have time tomorrow I'll try phoning ancestry to see if they'll let me use the original offer that stopped working last week.

The problem with that offer is that it wasn't supposed to be for renewing subscriptions but for new subscribers. It worked as people found the loophole, that once you stopped subscribing even for a few hours, you counted as a new subscriber. Be interesting to know what they say.

Well I've never subscribed to ancestry, I've been using it for the first time via my library for the last year since someone on this site told me about that possibility!

From another FH group, it appears the 50% offer is now only offered to those activating a dna kit with a link at the bottom of the dna page. It isn’t clear if you already subscribe and then buy a kit whether or not you will be offered the discount, or whether it is new subscribers only.
