Notice: This special deal is once again offered...Expires April 28, 2013.
Quite by accident, I discovered that Ancestry.com is offering a good deal. I found out about it by going to their site to subscribe. Then today, April 24, I received an email about the offer. Perhaps others have also received it as well.
What the deal is, until April 28, 2013, you can get six months of the U. S. Edition of Ancestry for $49, or the World Explorer for $99. They are both for six months, with automatic renewal for an additional six months, but there may be a price increase. No one-year deal was offered.
I have not seen anybody mention this special, so I thought I'd pass it along. You can join me, because I took advantage of it and saved $30, since my previous membership expired in November. This deal is for new members only.
My Ancestry homepage shows the ad below, letting me know I can upgrade to World Explorer.

I used this too, Barbara. I had downgraded to a U.S. subscription several months ago, but needed to upgrade back to World because of my recent Nova Scotia discoveries. Their upgrade choices are confusing and hard to use, but I did find this and use it. I had some time left on my 6-month subscription, so they had me pay the $99 mentioned here, and they refunded about 30 dollars from my old subscription. The refund only took about a week, and it was set up automatically, I didn't have to ask. I agree, not such a bad deal.
I got an offer from ancestryDNA.com to get a $99 DNA test from now until Jan 6th. I pressed the order button and it took me to a blank page. What's happening with this offer?
Larry, I'm not sure what happened. Are you not a subscriber already (I thought you were)? Maybe the offer is for really recent subscribers. How about trying again, or go to their subscribe to page.
Barbara, it just worked for me on March 13. Thanks. Not a previous subscriber. You just saved me $29! Can't thank you enough, but wanted to let you know that the offer was still working, if they use your link.
I renewed mine a while back for the 6 mos as well. I can't afford to be without it.
World Explorer increased to $119/6 months. Regardless, much better deal than any others.
Hello Barbara,
I just came across your blog post post and had also allowed my World Explorer membership to lapse. I noted that the link said the offer expired on March 23rd, but I figured it was worth a try.
Long story short, I just clicked the link, logged in to my expired Ancestry account, and was able to resubscribe for the $119 plus tax. Not sure if they extended the offer or if it was an error, but it worked for me a few minutes ago.
Thanks!
Patrick
