There are currently 50% off deals on Findmypast

Does this link work?

I think the 30% discount is on shorter subscriptions.

Thanks for the heads up.

I've been busy harvesting 1939 census information, currently free till 8 May 2025. I'm liking the presentation style of FindMyPast and pondering a subscription.

Wondering if I'd get value for money from a 50% off 12 month sub or perhaps a shorter more focussed sub would have me 'do the work'. What have others found works?

Ah, I see, this offer is only for new subscribers

sprintexec, if you live near enough you may also want to consider whether your local library has free access to Ancestry or FindmyPast or both before jumping into a subscription. It will give you the option to try before you buy if you like. Our local library has access to both on a library edition which is sort of an edited version of the paid for subscriptions but does cover all the 1939 register and also the Censuses and Parish records of both sites.

My membership had recently expired but I was able to resubscribe at 50% discount.

LizzieL, yes it seems to be for new users but as I said in my earlier post if you set up another account using a different email address then it will let you get the 50% deal. The only irritating factor is that of course the records you have already sourced are not in your saved searches but as your old account should still be accessible then this isn't much of a problem. Certainly the link here in the newsletter that Zaphod99 posted worked for me

Thank you for this excellent idea. Where I currently live there is CLS Family Centre and a branch of the County library relatively close by. So the idea of checking out what they have to offer really appeals!

I just went to 'My Account" then "subscription" and the offer to renew at 50% discount was there.

I have subscribed for many years.
I emailed them a few days ago and asked why my years of loyalty were only rewarded by a 15% discount when new subscribers were being given 50%.
I was informed that this offer was not only for new subscribers and they have  applied a 50% discount to my forthcoming renewal.
