If you know of other Ancestry discounts for specific organizations or other ways to obtain discounts, please post them in the blog comments. I’ve also been told, but can’t verify, that when Ancestry has a 50% off special for gift subscriptions only, you can call, cancel your subscription, purchase a gift subscription, and gift it to yourself. You have to provide them with a list of your memberships. Some of those might even result in a larger percentage discount than AARP. If you aren’t an AARP member but are a member of other organizations, genealogy, or heritage societies, you may qualify for a discount via that membership. You’ll save enough to buy another DNA test at Ancestry or maybe elsewhere. It’s too bad this is so challenging, but regardless, with a little perseverance, if you have an AARP number, you can obtain a significant discount. If you’re thinking to yourself, “This is a pain,” it surely is. I suspect I’ll need to cancel my subscription next year when I call, then resubscribe using my AARP number. I can probably have them remove it if I call again. I attempted to simply remove my credit card information to prevent auto-renewal from occurring, but the system would not allow me to remove my current credit card information without replacing it with a different card. I’m putting a note in my calendar to check on this a month in advance to ensure this will NOT auto-renew. My subscription renews on May 27 of next year. That’s not right, and I was not informed of that “detail.”Īpparently, I should have let the subscription expire or at least waited until the last day to call. So, I essentially got cheated out of about ten days of the subscription I had already paid for. My subscription expired the following week, during the first week of June, and what I didn’t realize was that the new membership took effect on the day I called and made the payment – May 27 th. I also took advantage of this opportunity to make sure my other account information was up to date.Īfter I paid, I made an unpleasant discovery. I subscribe to the World Explorer Membership and saved a little more than $100. Is what you’ll save worth it? It was for me. ![]() You’ll need to call Ancestry before your membership auto-renews to obtain that discount every year. This means Ancestry does NOT renew your membership at the AARP discount rate.
