Have every intention of asking again, particularly as FMP offer loyalty discounts ever year to their members.
This isn´t a cheap hobby & a pension doesn´t go very far.
Don´t want to buy Familytreemaker again as I already have the 2010.

Thanks Jonesey I will take a look.

You should ring Carol, the worst that can happen is that they say no.

Yes Chrissie I wrote on that thread last year. I rang and a very stern woman said no discount. I told her that I knew a lot of people were receiving one, she went off and come back and offered I think 20%. but said I would not receive one again. Now feel scared to ring again lol.

If anyone does get one please post.

Carol ;-)

If no discounts are currently available think of possibly purchasing a copy pf Family Tree Maker 2011 Platinum edition which comes with 6 months Ancestry membership included. This is shortly to be replaced by the 2012 edition so 2011 should be heavily discounted at sites such as Amazon or Avanquest.

Jonesey had a thread about it just before my sub ran out last year. From what members were saying, it sometimes depended upon who answered your call as to whether you were offered a discount or not.

I'm really hoping there's a discount to be had somewhere as I will really miss using it.

My sub runs out at the end of this month too, so I was hoping that I would get a discount like I did last year.
From what you say, it doesn´t sound too promising & I was told they couldn´t deal with membership by e mail, only over the phone.
Quite an expensive exercise for those of us who live abroad.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are any discounts anywhere for Ancestry at the moment.

I've just rang them as my subscription runs out on Friday and I was hoping to be offered a bit of a discount but was told no discount available.
