1921 Census - now on subscription

Yes, spotted that earlier this morning.

 

That seems tough, but I guess they have their reasons.

Our issue is that our subscription has only 15 days left until renewal making the £19.99 cost of upgrading now seem overpriced for us. So we may end up postponing the upgrade until the renewal date.

 

I have a Premium subscription which expires on 25 Mar 2023, and am being quoted £33.29 to upgrade to Pro.

 

It's very exciting news. However, for me to upgrade to the Premium Subscription to the Pro Subscription would cost me £47. I have just paid today £152.99 to renew my yearly Pro Subscription so to upgrade today to the Premium Subscription of £199.99 would mean an extra cost of £47. How does the renewal cost of only £19.99, as mentioned by Peter and Pauline, apply? Am I missing something obvious?

 

I have just checked again on findmypast and I am definitely being asked to pay £46.99 to upgrade from my Pro subscription to a Premium subscription.

 

No it is quite definitely a Premium subscription, previously called Pro:

Payment History
Description Amount Status
UK 12 Month Pro
25 Mar 2022
Invoice -£126.39 Paid

(I had a discount of £33.60)

 

Normally I would, of course, but I'm not sure if it'll work for us to do that on this occasion as the upgrade will happen automatically at renewal.

 

I gather that someone else who had a similar issue was told by FMP that there is a temporary glitch which they are sorting. So maybe try again later.

 

Thank you for that. I will try again later today.

 

It appears that you can't get the Premium subscription on a 14 day free trial. Shame.

 

I have a 12-month Pro subscription, which I took out 2 weeks ago at a 30% discount. I am being offered an upgrade to Premium at a cost of £71.56 - whether I click on the link in the newsletter, Peter's post #1 above or go straight to FMP. Needless to say, I won't be upgrading at that cost.

 

Often, I (lazily) let my subscription auto-renew but have just cancelled the sub (Plus) as only 5 days left! Based on previous renewals in this way, the only difference is I can use your link to renew/upgrade.

 

A shame yes, but not really surprising if you think about it. I read a post elsewhere hopefully suggesting getting the Premium sub on a free trial, downloading all your 1921 images and then cancelling the trial before paying. FMP are not daft!
