Money Saving Tips for Ancestry …. here are my best tips for saving money at Ancestry.com!

  • Follow Genealogy Bargains for updated deals on Ancestry. The easiest way to learn about sales at Ancestry is to bookmark Genealogy Bargains or click HERE to sign up for our email list.
  • Holidays Mean Free Access at Ancestry. If you do not have a membership to a subscription at Ancestry, look for “free days” around specific holidays. Very often, the week before Memorial Day or Veterans Day will allow you to access military records. Labor Day offers access to free occupational records. Sign up for a site’s e-mail alerts to stay on top of the latest offers.
  • Cycle On and Cycle Off. A common technique many genealogists use to save money is to purchase a short-term subscription at Ancestry. Instead of signing up and paying for a year, get a six month membership. Once the membership has expired, take a break and then use other websites for research. Maintain a research log “wish list” of records you want to access or find, and then sign up for that genealogy website again. Get to work locating what you need, then drop off again for a few months.

Money Saving Tips for Ancestry: VIDEO How to Cancel your Ancestry membership

Did you know that most memberships at Ancestry auto-renew? If you don’t mark your calendar and CANCEL before your membership renews, you will likely renew at the FULL RATE!

Here’s how to CANCEL your current membership now to prevent auto-renew and STILL KEEP ALL THE MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS until the expiration date.

NOTE: You cannot “extend” your current Ancestry membership! The process below will “cancel” your current membership and offer you a credit for the time remaining.

Money Saving Tips for Ancestry: How to cancel current membership and sign up for another 6-month Membership and save 50%

Step 1: LOG OUT OF ANCESTRY. You cannot see the current sale if you are logged in and have an active membership.

Step 2: Click LINK and then click on SALE and then select the membership level you want and click Become a member.

Step 3: DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT! Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click SIGN IN next to Already have an account?

Step 4: Depending on how much time is remaining on your current membership, you will be asked to confirm the change. My current membership expires 23 March 2024 so I will be given a credit towards the purchase of the 6-month All Access membership. Click Confirm and proceed.

Step 5: You will see an order summary. Scroll down and make payment to complete the process.
