As part of the Ancestry.Com DNA test I paid a pound extra to get access to their databases for 3 months.
This I have done and had quite a lot of fun with it building up a good family tree.
My trial is about to run out soon and they will then be charging me the going rate of £50 per 3 months.
As I'm in no hurry to continue working on this at the moment (been spending far too much time on it), I'm contemplating giving it a break for a year, then picking up where I left of in the hope of them offering another future deal.

Anyone got any experience of this or any money saving hints?

    Just make sure you cancel, as per their T/C or they will bill you.

    As to further deals. I'm sure they will have.

    When you are no longer subscribed to ancestry, can you still access your tree?
    Is it that you just can't access database for further info?
    Thanks
