Obviously, I should have been more pro-active because this is the response:<br /><br />"Thank you for the email, I can not refund any amount due to the amount of time that has passed since the transaction. I can extend your account a year so that it will be two years for $39.95 each year. <br />Ned<br />Fold3 Support<br />support@fold3.com"<br /><br />At least I guess this means that I get next year at no additional cost so that I only lost my %50 in 2011.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108246378388789103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-43630133862107169442012-09-07T11:37:39.820-07:002012-09-07T11:37:39.820-07:00I found the discount today.

I noticed just last Monday that NewspaperARCHIVE was offering a 30% discount to Fold3 subscribers. At the rate they are going, we should all be able to get multiple discounts all the subscription sites.Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-73000319403463746762012-02-25T23:14:58.811-08:002012-02-25T23:14:58.811-08:00I looked on Ancestry.com for notice of the fold3.c...I looked on Ancestry.com for notice of the fold3.com discount and did not find it. I have been a continuously paying subscriber for years and did not receive any notification (such as the asserted email) from Ancestry.com about the discount. On the other hand, I frequently receive Ancestry.com messages saying I should subscribe, should buy their genealogy software program, should use their extremely sparse selection of records concerning Ireland, or should take advantage of the one-day free access to the 1930 US Census (which access comes with my paid sub).<br /><br />Evidently their email advertising programme does not differentiate between contact information for paying subscribers and for others.<br />Perhaps they still have the same problem they had with sending the monthly newsletter by email - many site subscribers who wanted it did not receive it.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-41719059092467174682012-02-25T07:52:21.478-08:002012-02-25T07:52:21.478-08:00My subscription to Fold3 also expired in December ...My subscription to Fold3 also expired in December 2011.

Just another benefit of attending a genealogy convention. I signed up then . . . but did I need a subscription to Ancestry??? My memory fails me.<br /><br />MargelMargelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280552663820694308noreply@blogger.com
