Just renewed at about 1/2 of going rate
These are for 12 months too
Annual Worldwide for £89.99
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/checkout/mli?direct=1&quantities=1&flow=3&offers=O-24532&rType=11

Annual UK Premium for £59.99
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/checkout/mli?direct=1&quantities=1&flow=3&offers=O-24531&rType=11

There is the possibility of a further discount if you have a coupon - but I have never (in 10 years of being a member of Ancestry) found a working coupon code !!

  • Thanks for the heads up! That's a big saving as Im paying £14.99 a month for just the UK !
  • They obviously don't want people to know about these discounts

  • Hi
    I went searching for a cheaper Ancestry deal and got to here. Amazing. It still works! Half price for the year. Brilliant stuff. Thank you.
    Crazy to think they want £180 to renew yet I now get the year for £90. Perfect.

    Just remember to cancel the DD or you will pay full price on 12 months time

    Yep, done that already. To think I paid £99 for 6 months!! Thanks again.
  • Thanks again for posting this link, @MouldyOldDough - just followed that through for a year's membership at £89.99. I've already diarised to cancel in December 2025. Now to continue my researches!
  • Still working today 31st December. It doesnt work if your old subscription is still running so wait till its finished.

    You don't have to wait until December 2025 to cancel - you can stop any future payments being taken NOW

    I renewed at the reduced rate before New Year using the link.

    There is apparently a new offer because they've now got the 1921 census, but only until the 12th
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    The 1921 census is available on Ancestry - but once someone has downloaded a record and it is shared on a account - it will still be available to all - forever !
