Apologies Sandra, I didn't notice your reply.

I Was using my laptop (Windows 10 and Chrome. Also tried it on Edge). All I could access was the price for 6 months with no discount despite refreshing the page numerous times  :'(

Apologies Sandra, I didn't notice your reply.

I Was using my laptop (Windows 10 and Chrome. Also tried it on Edge). All I could access was the price for 6 months with no discount despite refreshing the page numerous times  :'(

The link is still there, (for anyone who doesn't currently have an active sub).

My tried and tested method for a few years now now is to not allow my sub to auto renew, but cancel it a few days before its due to lapse (it will continue to function until the end of the subscription period)
Then, the morning after the sub expires, I log into my account and my account shows I am now a registered guest  but no longer a current subscriber (any trees are all still there)

Finally, still logged in, I then click on the link, see the offer and choose the level required and click the `Get Started' button.

That brings up my account details (name etc), shows the correct offer amount for the level I have chosen and a payment screen. Enter the payment details and off I go again for another year.

I have an old expired account with a different user name and email address, so I have just logged into that and got as far as the payment screen to test the link - obviously didn't enter any payment details as I already have a current sub with my newer email and username, but its still functioning just as it has for years.

Yes, I did that, clicking on the link while being logged into Anc after the end of my subscription, but could only see the six month at full price option. Maybe it's blocked for Irish subscribers. That's why I was wondering if any Irish Rootschatters had managed to avail of this offer. It's a great offer, sad I can't get it. 😢

Thanks for all the replies 😊

It does this for some reason, keep trying.

Best of luck

Real long shot, but have you tried changing the .co.uk in the link to .ie   ?

I get the same problem as Frostyknight...it takes you to the half price page but when you click on the amount it goes to another page that only offers 6 months for full price
Forrest - Blantyre
McLellan - Dumfriesshire
McCracken - Dumfriesshire
Harkness - Dumfriesshire
Adamson - Dumfriesshire

I don't even get the half price page. Sorry you can't get the offer either.

Pretty sure we had someone from Sweden who managed to get this offer.
Keep trying, it will eventually appear with the correct offer.

Has your subscription been cancelled ?  Are you logged in to ancestry when you try the link ?
