After posting a thread on this board, regarding the pro's & cons of subscribing to Ancestry. I decided just now, to subscribe to Ancestry co uk. After filling out their form, I got to card details only to find I can only use a credit card. (I only have a debit card!!) I'm really fed up now. I dare not apply for a credit card as I dont trust myself what with xmas coming, to spend, spend ,spend!! I would have thought that as g.c accept (as do 1901 & 1837) a debit card Ancestry would to! elaine

Well I have never subscribed to ancestry and have managed so far. I think you are very sensible not to have a credit card. I know loads of people who are seriously in trouble with them. Helena

Elaine Stick to your guns girl and don't let your family tree get you in bother - pay as you go is by far the best way!! If you get stuck, just post a note and we will help you out where we can - free of charge. At least you are clever enough to know you would probably get in trouble in you got a Visa card. Just remember that and DON'T give in!!! You CAN survive without Ancestry - honest!!

I have a VISA Debit Card from Lloyds TSB, and they accepted that ok. I won't have a credit card, because I know I'd go straight to the limit and then be in trouble. Jan

My card is a Halifax switch card. I got all blooming exited as well once i'd made the decision to join. I was only going for the Quaterly subscription as well. Its a real let down 'cos I love the thrill of the search! Thank you girls, for your comments, & your willingness to help. Elaine x
