"one of my free accounts at Ancestry has received a special offer:

World Deluxe membership on special offer at ancestry.ca for Canadian Thanksgiving

++++++++++++++

*40% off World Deluxe Annual Membership offer price: $179.88—valid until October 12, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. ET
. Annual memberships will be billed in one payment. Offers available for new subscribers only and not for renewal of current subscriptions. Your membership will automatically renew at the end of each membership period and your chosen method of payment will be charged $299.88 at that time, unless you are notified otherwise. If you don’t want to renew, cancel at least 2 days before your renewal date

++++++++++++++

midnight Eastern Time (Canada) Monday = 5 a.m. Tuesday so 10 hours left %3A-%29

>>> 180 CAD = 90 GBP

current worldwide price at ancestry.co.uk is £179.99

>>> so this offer is HALF PRICE for UK subscribers.

Below is a copy of my current subscription
Subscriptions
World Deluxe Membership
Started 10 March 2016
Ends on 10 March 2017
Billing cycle Annual

I paid 215.86 canadian dollars which included tax. It was paid with an english debit card in sterling which was equal to £113.11. I have checked my bank statement. Had I paid though .co.uk I would have paid £179.99 so a saving of £66.88.

I emailed Ancestry when my .co.uk World membership came up for renewal last week. I stated that I had been a member since January 2004 and thought that it was too expensive now. They replied confirming that my membership would be cancelled on the date it expired. They did not offer me any kind of discount to stay with them

**** I will copy and paste this to the Genealogy Chat board just in case it can be of help to anyone else
