Oh I don't pay VAT because I'm in Canada. Guess I shouldn't be complaining, eh! |

Margaret, If you just buy the UK membership, you should get about 15% off anyway as you don't have to pay their VAT tax thingy. Next year, give Ancestry.com a call, and ask what their UK rate is without VAT. |

OK, guys, I'll screw up the courage and have a go at it when my subscription comes up for renewal. I'll say I can't afford it on my pension! |

No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that others shouldn't get a discount, and I certainly don't mind if they do. I' m just saying that when a price is quoted for a subscription it should be "written in stone" and one shouldn't have to haggle for a lower price. As for the quidco, I'm in Canada so can't use it. |

Go for the cashback then Margaret. You dont have to haggle for that at all and its 25%. |

This makes me rather angry to hear that someone can get a 20% discount after speaking to them on the phone whereas someone like myself who is too timid to do so ends up paying full price. One would think that the price of subscription is the price quoted not the price you get after haggling. |

My basic Ancestry UK membership was due for renewal recently. I wanted to try the world membership but simply could not afford it. After speaking to them on the phone, they gave me world membership at 20% discount and also for 13 rather than 12 months. This made the difference between the new yearly subscription I would have had to pay and world membership quite minimal. |
