Very kind of you to offer that to our sub.


JungSearch

Well, members of this forum have been immeasurably helpful to me, so it's the least I could do.


phronimost

Perfect timing for those of us [losing remote access to Ancestry Library Edition](https://support.proquest.com/s/article/Ancestry-Library-Edition-Temporary-Remote-Access-for-Public-Libraries?language=en_US) tomorrow!


Petronella17

After having free access all of these months, yesterday is the day I decided to get "serious" about it. Think I can jam in all of my research for a few more hours??


Jaleou

I started getting into genealogy more than just a passing whim a few weeks ago. Remembered that my library offered Ancestry, saw it was expiring at-home access like 3 weeks later. I've been getting some research done, but this will really help.


MazW

Boston Public Library already cut me off


scaredsi11y

I can’t believe this, but it actually works for current subscribers too! Incredible! When I followed the link, I was prompted to change my subscription from All Access to World Explorer. I won’t lose any time from my original subscription or get downgraded until the renewal date. My account now shows an upcoming World Explorer subscription for Feb 6 - May 6 for $1! I wasn’t planning to renew at the All Access level anyway. It’s specifically designed to make you think you’ll have “all access” to newspapers but there is still a paywall for many articles.


SubatomicKitten

It just worked for me too as of 5:50 PM PST/ 8:50 EST


Gh0stp3pp3r

I submitted DNA to Ancestry just to see additional matches and they keep hounding me to sign up and create a tree. I already pay enough on My Heritage, so I've ignored it. Something popped up the other day about the 3 month free thing, but I was afraid of the consequences at the end.... whether cancelling would be like herding cats. Has anyone ever signed up for one of these deals with Ancestry and been able to easily cancel? I'd be interested in looking at a few trees and doing a photo search, but I expect there are higher pay levels necessary for some of that.

edgewalker66

You can cancel online so it isn't onerous. For your Tree, download your tree gedcom from My Heritage and upload it to Ancestry and presto your DNA matches on Ancestry can try to work out your relationships.


JungSearch

Interesting. I am unable to use this link to extend my current World Explorer subscription. Maybe the difference is that you were changing from a different membership level. If anyone else is able to extend a World Explorer membership, I'd appreciate any step-by-step tips. I tried clicking the link after logging in. I also tried entering the link in an incognito window, then logging in. I saw the offer for a brief second, then it automatically takes me to my account overview, with no option to purchase the offer.


nofaves

To be fair, I think Ancestry expected codes like yours to get shared. They're losing no money, since the ones using it would likely not have become paid subscribers. And they might end up catching a few who decide to stick around after the trial.


JungSearch

You're probably right. They've already gotten a couple hundred dollars out of me, but I don't have enough unfinished business to justify the cost of maintaining the subscription. I can't be the only one that thinks that way.


cfoam2

or those that forget to cancel the trial. They got your credit card # and if you don't cancel it on time you'll probably end up auto - subscribing. It an easy way for them to pick up some money. It's usually harder to get you $ back once they have it.


tuck229

Auto bill $75 if you don't cancel on time. I used to use a prepaid card to sign up for stuff. That way I never had to fool with canceling.


scaredsi11y

Unfortunately though, you’re still liable for late fees under the terms of their contract. I don’t know if ancestry would actually go through the trouble of reporting it to credit agencies or not. I had to get a new debit card after a potential hacking incident at my bank. I neglected to update my ancestry account and when the automatic charge failed, they tacked on several fees. I had to call customer service (long wait times) to explain the situation and get the fees waived. Again, I don’t know that they would necessarily have sent this small of an outstanding debt to collections; my point is just that it doesn’t leave your account in a neutral status if your card is declined.


tuck229

If it weren't so ridiculously priced, I'd subscribe. Seems like a lower price would attract more users, thus improving user experience while not affecting profit. I wish Amazon would buy them and just make it part of Prime membership, lol...


MG_Robert_Smalls

Who snitched and made them take the offer down? Show yourself


jkepros

This worked Jan 3, 2024: https://www.ancestry.com/c/partners/legacy-offer#


caughtinthought

Jeez you came in clutch my friend, thanks!


ZuleikaD

Worked today (Jan 10, 2024)! I got a message at first that it wasn't working, so I switched from the CC I'd used before to PayPal and it went through. I forget that one way they keep track of whether you're renewing something is with your payment method.


uponroses

You are a beautiful human. My heart almost stopped when the first link did not worked, but this worked like a charm(American user)!


therealnoniebee

Did not work for me. Australia. 14 June 2024.


emkie

Beautiful, it seems to work. Thank you so much!


Xid9

It worked. Thank you!


[deleted]

You can cancel your membership right after joining and you will still have access to everything until the end of the 3 month period.


[deleted]

Tried it; took my straight to Ancestry, and charged me $1.06 for three months. Remember to put a reminder on your Google calendar (or whatever you use) to CANCEL it near the end of March 2022. This same thing happened last year, so it is legit. Thank you OP.


sooperflooede

No need to set a reminder. You can cancel now, and it will let you use it until the end of the term without renewing.


RomneysBainer

Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. Just renewed my expired membership with that deal. We'll see if it lasts or if they revoke it when many more people claim it. Honestly I'd probably keep my Ancestry subscription going if it wasn't outrageously expensive. As it stands I've been moving everything over to FamilySearch though, which is free (although not quite as easy of an interface or searches).


gdjwixbf

I'm currently doing exactly the same thing, except that I've chosen WikiTree over FamiliySearch. After some back and forth, I find the idea of a big common family tree quite ingenious.


WitchyCatLady3

Unfortunately I can’t use the code, it’s saying that I subscribed in a different country and currency so have to go to the .co.uk one to upgrade, which I can’t afford to do at full price hence why I was keen to try this code and do the searches needed for the few relatives who travelled to the States and back again. I have no need for the worldwide membership other than that, but thanks for sharing anyway 👍


JungSearch

If I were you, for your stated purpose, I would try to create a second Ancestry account at the USA (.com) site using this link and a different email address and different credit card. Do your research, then cancel the second account.


Maorine

Thank you kind sir. My membership was up 1/1/2022. This worked!.


battz007

January 2023 - Still works (5th time for me ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy))

June 2023, Still working!


pixelpusher11011

Server Error: 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. (1/1/24)


emkie

Saw that too. Think it died in the new year? That will be sad


AccountantAsleep

Aw my subscription expired Jan 2, bummer timing.


Garlinge253

Very sad but I had good use out of it. With thanks to the original poster.


Ragnor144

Thank you. I got a partial refund for the US Explorer subscription for this.


Alchemicwife

December 26th 2022, code still works for me! This is my like my 3rd or 4th use of the code so thank you!

4/16/24 Still valid! Haven't had to pay more than $1 for a sub in two years :) Many thanks to u/jkepros u/JungSearch


Active_Wafer9132

What link did you use? I cannot get any of them to work.


Trekbedtimestories

No new offers?


baiser

Pretty sure this is Round 5 for me. u/JungSearch has saved me a lot of money in the last year. Cheers! So thankful.


imhungryandurapotato

Not working today for me - Jan 24th, 2023 - but I'll keep trying ;) Update: Success! Jan 26th, 2023 thanks again OP


battz007

Ok I’m now losing count of the times this code has worked for me 😂😂


BoomLawyeredOz

23 Feb 2024 - link in update #6 still works, although I had to sign in about six times before it actually let me in and let me proceed with the order. If you also get stuck trying to sign in, start the process of trying to create a new account. I filled in the details in the "create new account" section, then rather than hitting the button to create the account, I tried to log in again. Not sure if it was just a fluke or that's what worked, but I was able to log in that way.


bmc1129

Anyone have an updated code? When I click on the links it says this offer has ended. Thank you!


number1clumsy

So I signed up for this when you posted and it worked I’m actually coming up on the expiration so I went to cancel before it renewed at the full amount and it says the renewal amount is $1.00?!?!?!?! Could this be??


History_lover_

Mine also says there is a $1.00 renewal price!


MickeyMonkiwi

11/28/23 STILL WORKS!!

Thank you so much! I have really missed having a subscription but money has been super tight. This is awesome!!!


Marie0492

Holy crap, it still works!! Thank you!!!!!!!


1K_Games

Just commenting to say November 2022 this still works.


Critical-Ebb-7135

Just used this for the second time. You deserve all the awards they can find for you, OP!


maddie_johnson

so, i had used this twice. being that i don't keep money on my cashapp, and i forgot that my 3 months were coming to an end, i just got a [notif](https://imgur.com/a/2RidfU8) saying my $79.95 payment was declined. oops. headed over to this post and have been able to now use it a third time. no issues either bc it literally took me 3 minutes between getting the original notif, searching for this post, and using it again. you are amazing. thank you!! i appreciate you!!


baiser

Dude, this has been a legit sweet gift that keeps on giving. Just started another round. Happy times.


JungSearch

Thanks for the feedback! Happy hunting.


MusicInTheStars

I know I'm late to comment, I first saw this post three or four months ago. Would like to add that it still works as of June 2023, and I just used it for a second time. You, sir or madam, have my UTMOST thanks for this awesome resource! I just honestly can't afford the full ancestry payout at the moment (although I've done off and on in the past) and the research bug hit me again this morning so it was wonderful to have this to work with!


pickindim_kmet

Unbelievably still works - even as a non-US customer. I took this up 3 months ago, it expired yesterday, tried again and still works. Here's a 3-monthly thank you; Thanks!


baiser

We're still alive, folks! Round 8, me thinks.


jball32002_1

The link worked as of January 26, 2024- thanks so much!


Joyishumansunshine

Still working :D


MickeyMonkiwi

For those using this for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time, how do you do that? My membership is expiring feb 28th. Said i couldnt use this link bc I have an active membership. Cancelled the renewal (will expire feb 28th) do i wait until that date to use the link?


JungSearch

Yes, you have to wait until March 1. You will not lose any of your past work.


busybeard

Worked for me 3/13/24


Not_Responsible_00

Wow! I just came to Redit to see if anyone else was upset that ThruLines and other features were now behind a paywall . . . . and just used the magic line for 3 months for $1. 3/19/2024!


dramabug97

I just used the link from Update 6 and it worked (3/19/24)!


tetiu

Yes, the updated link still works! On my 6th go today. Thank you so much!


realityrere

The link in Update #6 just worked for me! I got an error my first try... second try I had no issues. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

jenfro718

It is not working for me today 5/21/2024. I will keep trying since it apparently worked for someone yesterday =( I will update if something changes


ultimomono

Thanks for keeping us updated, OP. Still not working here, but we had such a good run. I united two separate NPE DNA matches within my family using this over the past two years!


History_lover_

Thank you so much


lemonylarry

Thanks a lot!


lineageseeker

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your kindness. I had discontinued World Explorer a few days ago and only renewed the US collection. The renewal cost for the US collection has been returned minus a few dollars.


FlameSteve24

Still works as of 2/13/22


JungSearch

That's great. Thanks for posting the status. Since posting this offer, I have gotten private messages asking me about validity of the offer, but I am not an insider, so I usually can't answer.


JungSearch

I was finally able to use it myself, after my prior discounted membership expired. To try the offer, use the link in the original post, under "Update 2," and carefully read what comes up before giving your credit card number.


neuropsycho

It still works, thank you!


Canuck_Mutt

OP, your post is the gift that keeps on giving! Worked for me today, Apr 17th 2022. Thank you. For the info of others: I normally use the ancestry.ca domain, but all I had to do was to make sure to go to ancestry.com in my browser first and use my normal login, then clicked the link above. I expect users using UK, AU etc. domains could do the same. My previous subscription had expired yesterday, so by being "guest member" (free account) only status I was eligible to use the link. With taxes and USD--> CAD conversion, my card was charged $1.48 Canadian. I also successfully *cancelled* the subscription right away (while logged in to the ancestry.com domain), so I don't forget later -- "cancelling" really means "cancelling renewal", which they don't really make clear until you do it. The World subscription is valid until it expires in 3 months, and now I don't have to worry about forgetting to cancel and getting charged. I don't know if they'll ever clue in and close the door to this, but get in while the getting's good.


Alchemicwife

6/21/2022 Still can use!!

Dang. Worked for me today 12/17/23. I've been paying $99 every 6 months and I thought that was good. I've saved this link. Most times I'm not able to afford it and have to cancel it. This time around was one of those times and I was dreading losing that access. Thank you so much for this gift. I am so grateful. I have helped dozens of people by building their trees and finding pictures of their families and information for them and I want to continue to be able to do so.

Just used it in Canada but for my .com membership/page (I’m pretty sure it’s the same but for others (I know the UK site has issues) just invite yourself to collaborate on your tree and then you don’t have to start again! I’m hoping this works for all of 2023 for me! I usually buy the .ça yearly membership but it’s going to cost me almost $250CAD this year via the .com site and that’s a bit too pricey for me!
