have emailed you Tracey, for anybody else its (www.)ancestry.(co.uk)/subscribe/subscribetrial4y.asp?sourcecode=18294 hope thats right going out now back later

Susan -- it's all as clear as mud. But there are separate collections -- US, UK, Europe etc. Separate subs, separate free offers. Looks like the one you signed up to on a free trial wasn't the one you wanted. That's why it kept asking you to subscribe. If you've now subscribed to a different collection, I'm afraid they've probably taken the money and they'll probably keep it. And if you don't make sure you cancel the free trial, they'll subscribe you to that collection as well, on day 15

I still can't find it. If anyone else sees it, could you post the end of the url on here please? eg /subscribe/subscribeplanstx_v2uk(.)asp?o_iid=18289&o_lid=18289&o_it=18294 I've wanted to join ancestry for ages, but I think £70 is too expensive. What deos eveyone else think?

I tried the free offer....everytime I went to look anything up it told me I had to subscribe....So...like a good girl, I subscribed....then I couldnt find what I was looking for so I sent Ancestry a cancellation request....this will be interesting...will I be charged or wont I... Sue ... wondering

I bet you are glad Valerie saw it is well, Margaret! I STILL haven't seen the blooming thing. Oh! and I don't get any flashing adverts on Genes either!!(propably cos I have a pop up blocker). Ann :)

Valerie Im so glad Im not the only one to see it.Must admit though it keeps changing to 69.95 then back to 29.95. They would have far more join if they were not so expensive. They lose more by those getting look ups.

Bit like buying a pair of shoes for full price and then seeing them in the Sale the next week for half price!!!! Jacquie xx

this is the offer on ancestry After your free trial you will be charged just £29.95 for 12 months of unlimited access. I think its a cheek thats if its access to the same as I paid £70 for

Keep missing it :-(

BOTHER....missed it!! LOL .... it says £29.95 for quarter subscription. Ann x

The free trial has flashed on again.Be quick

I was on the Ancestry site and the offer flashed up.Its happened before so I checked it out.I agree it now says 69.95 so they must throw in the offer every now and then.I printed it and at the bottom the date is 9/6/2005.I have the select a plan details which says 69.95 at the top but the offer at the bottom says 29.95.I have opened Ancestry again.I has now changed to say complete 1861 census for England and Wales. The only thing I can think is they keep changing like the offers you see flashing on genes site. One I have opened says view 20 family history records for 6.95.I clicked to learn more and that has the 29.95 deal. I guess you have to be there when the offer comes up. When my subscription is up Im going to cancel.I think its wrong that they automaticaly charge you..What if you cant afford it

Where did you find the offer? The only free trial I can find says I'llb e charged £69.95 if I don't cancel. The only £29.95 I can find on the site is for the quarterly subscription.

Just to let you know I have printed a copy of the offer

I have Ancestry opened twice as easier to use.Right now I can see the offer 29.95 If I open Ancestry again the free trial says 69.95 The earlier offer says your card will not be charged if you cancel after the 2 weeks but as you say how would you prove the offer was only 29.95. Wonder if anyone HAS actually paid 29.95

It makes you wonder, if after the free trial they will automatically charge £69.95. It would be difficult to prove that you had actually seen the lower price!

Perhaps they only put it on for short bursts as another member said he had seen the cheap price too. Cheap skates

Its weird.I was on Ancestry and the free trial was offered went to have a look and saw the price.This has happened before and I got in touch with Ancestry support regarding the price difference.They told me I had paid $59.95 but I had paid pounds.Now the price is 69.95.pounds.Sorry dont have a pound sign.I went back to have another look and the free trial has gone again at the cheap price. WHAT ARE THEY PLAYING AT.

Is that right, will go and have a look. Just looked and it says £69.95, where did you see it cheaper??

Noticed they are offering a 14 day free trial and after it only costs 29.95 for the full year subscription.Why did they rest of us have to pay the full price of 69.95.
