Offers

I've created this new thread to specifically details offers for subscriptions to various sites.

Please only post the information about an offer in this thread, which will be stickied.

Someone mailed me recently asking for information on an offer which was mentioned in an old thread (resurrected for a valid reason), which is confusing, so we'll keep them all here from now on.

Being lazy here but what does MyHeritage offer that we cant already get for free?

I'm planning to look up stuff like births/marriages/deaths after 1920/1945/1960.

25% off IFHF/rootsireland.ie annuals. Not sure there's any value there these days, but some people still do.

Ancestry is offering its DNA test--at least in the US--for $59 from now thru St Patrick's Day. Maybe they have promotions elsewhere as well. A good price for this.

FMP logins - free, but rate limited it seems - for Dublin City Libraries members until such time as Pearse Street reopens

Didn't take long to hit my fair usage limit! I need to be a little bit more selective in what I look at but it's too tempting not to have a look at each potential relevant record.

SDCC are doing the same offer. Contact your local SDCC library by email with your name and membership offer.

Wow, thanks for that. I hope this offer works in the US. I pay a fortune for Ancestry World plus Fold3--which I only use for city directories, invaluable--and for newspapers.com--all the same company--but I refuse to pay another cent for the 'publishers extra'. They keep dangling hints on Ancestry that I can't open unless I pay even more. They would steal the pennies off the eyes of your dead grandmother.

Not an offer as such but newspapers.com is free this weekend.

I wonder why they're only giving six months - are there changes on the way?

If I go into "My Account" instead of "Subscribe" I get an offer of 1 year for 119.99 Sterling.

I've decided to take a Months Pro membership with FMP - gives access to their Global records and British Newspapers. I'll update my Ancestry Tree with whatever I find, hints etc. Will go back to Ancestry in the future.

(ps - I also back up everything on a 2017 copy of Family Tree Maker).

I have a sub for them but won't be renewing. Useful for DNA only.

I got *an* offer when I activated the sample tube; but not as good as that one above - £44.99 / £49.99 for UK/Worldwide for 6 months only.

mindhorn

Strange. I've paid for the odd month also but this is the first time I've paid for a full year. Payment went through (same email and same payment details as before). I purchased two kits but that would hardly make a difference.

Okay, time to hide my credit card.

L1011

I also didn't get the offer, possibly for the same reasons! I've done the odd month and used lots of free access offers.

Gave in on the test despite data privacy concerns. Fairly sure anyone dodgy has probably already got my details and if some future database access turns up a relative as a murderer that's their own fault!

Thanks mindhorn. I'm not seeing that when I open up - I'm a 'registered user' and I think as a frequent exploiter of Ancestry's freebies/special offers they have identified my IP or email and I'm blocked.

Rootsireland offering 25% off an annual sub at the moment. Unlike Ancestry, they let existing subscribers avail of the offer to extend their sub.

Just curious, is it as painfully slow for you as it is when I try to use it in libraries?

It is. And you can refresh it very easily by mistake meaning you start all over again at first result which is painful.

I agree about the slowness, such a pity. On the plus side, they are VERY decent to their subscribers in terms of applying offers and discounts. Some bigger companies could learn a lot from them.
