When did Ancestry's subscription prices increase so drastically ? They've just asked for £179.99 to renew my Worldwide sub. Previous years, going back to 2008, it was around £135 ! I haven't renewed. -- Anne Chambers South Australia anne dot chambers at bigpond dot com

Previous > years, going back to 2008, it was around £135 ! I haven't renewed. I have always rung ancestry at renewal time and successfully negotiated a discount as I am a long standing member. Another option (don't know if you have them in Australia) is to trawl the cashback sites to see if you can get cashback on the sub. I've just looked at 2 here in the UK and they are both offering about 25% cashback (on the pre-tax price) for new customers . Well I could be a new customer if I tried, I have bought subs as gifts before and they don't care if the account holder's name and address is different from the card holder's. Though be aware that cashback doesn't always track and even if it does it can take a good few weeks to get it. -- Tickettyboo
