Ancestry Subs

The other day my yearly subs were due, I live in New Zealand but my subs are paid to the US site, I have World Explorer Membership but the site was showing the following year would be World plus membership at a cost of nearly 100 dollars more, for this I could search all US newspapers, not a lot of use to me and not worth 100 dollars more, I tried many ways of reverting to my old world membership the site would not allow that which I thought rather highhanded, in fact I was so annoyed that I cancelled my membership, stating why in no uncertain terms, when I went on to the nest step, I was offered 6 months World Explorer Membership with the cost about half of my normal yearly subs, I took this offer. when checking the next day when the last year was due to expire the accounts page showed that I was now able to upgrade to a full year of World Explorer Membership , which I did, but I still feel annoyed at the way ancestry tried to upgrade with no consultation and made it hard to change.
has anyone else had this problem

 

That is a good point, I have been with the US site for over 10 years, but I can everything I have on the US site can be linked to UK ancestry if I were to change, if so I will check it out next year, I have checked out the rates now and for me it would have saved about 40 dollars (NZ) with current exchange rates

 

Well worth the change, I will definitely look closer next year, I should have taken notice of your newsletters and looked into this year, I had forgotten about the VAT, a few years ago the UK site was the dearer one.
