Below is a copy of my current subscription Subscriptions World Deluxe Membership Started 10 March 2016 Ends on 10 March 2017 Billing cycle Annual
I paid 215.86 canadian dollars which included tax. It was paid with an english debit card in sterling which was equal to £113.11. I have checked my bank statement. Had I paid though .co.uk I would have paid £179.99 so a saving of £66.88.
I emailed Ancestry when my .co.uk World membership came up for renewal last week. I stated that I had been a member since January 2004 and thought that it was too expensive now. They replied confirming that my membership would be cancelled on the date it expired. They did not offer me any kind of discount to stay with them
