Find My Past Subscription
« on: Monday 18 March 24 14:47 GMT (UK) »
I am being quoted £159 to re-join Find My Past, there is a note to say this included 20% discount.  Are there any other extra current discounts that people are aware off?

Thankyou Sandra for forwarding that string of posts.
I now have a plan!  Having cancelled  FindMyPast a couple of weeks ago I  shall wait for a while to see if their discount is increased. I do already have Ancestry at the reduced rate from one of your links so shall keep myself busy with that.

Fingers crossed, always worth trying to get the same deal as others before you, makes quite a difference to the price.

Good Luck
Sandra  :)

I'm being quoted £169.99 and only includes a 15% loyalty discount. I have had a subscription for many years, right from when they were called 1837online, so I wonder why I'm not considered as "loyal" as those being offered 20% discount.

I do agree LizzieL - it's annoying to to see others being offered a better discount. I don't know how FindMyPast think that is good for keeping customers on side.

I did check again what the charge would be and it says 12 month Premium 159.99 which included a 20% discount. Underneath that info panel is a banner which says 'All 12 month subscriptions receive a 15% discount'. All very confusing.

My subscription only recently expired so maybe that makes a difference - but it's not clear and does seem unfair to loyal customers. I too have been a member for many years.
