Please Note: You are committing to a six-month subscription, 14 days free then automatically renews every 6 months, but you will be billed on a monthly basis. If you cancel before the end of your subscription, an early termination fee of up to $25 may apply. You may cancel at any time prior to two days before the end of the free trial period and incur no charge!
Please be very cautious when subscribing to this āfree trial!ā I was charged for a 6 months subscription the DAY BEFORE the āfree trialā ended!!! After being charged for a 6 months subscription, I immediately tried to cancel my āfree trial.ā I was then charged a $25 cancellation fee!!! I lost a lot of money over this āFREE trial!ā Very upset!!!!
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that and thank you for the heads up! What I like to do when I sign up for free trials like this one is I cancel my subscription at least 3 days before the expiration date. That way I’m sure that it won’t auto-renew and charge my card.
Thank you. I learned a hard, and very expensive, lesson about subscribing to free trials!
It actually states that you are signing up for a 6 month subscription once the free trial ends. It also goes on to say if you cancel before the 6 months is up you are charged a $25 fee.
Then you arenāt getting a free trial. I donāt think that should be posted here then.
Hi! It’s a 14-day trial but you should cancel the subscription before the 14th day.
While it is nice that FSF provides a note on this post warning about the cancellation policy and incurring a $25 charge if cancelled prior to expiration of your subscription, an even greater service would be if you inform people within that same āNoteā section that the way to avoid automatically being charged before the end of your free trial is to cancel at least two day prior to the completion of the 14-day trial (as stated in their terms and conditions). Without stating this in the original post I have no doubt a lot of people arenāt even looking into the deal because they feel like thereās no way to avoid being charged when there actually is a way.
That is true and actually very helpful! Thanks for the suggestion Ben! I’ll add it right away.
Thanks for all the Familysearch.org recommendations. I just came from there and it’s awesome. I found my family tree back several generations š
Iām so happy
Not worth it
Or you can use FamilySearch which is completely free
I agree Family Search.org has extensive research and help and is always been free.
Thank you!!!!
Hi. Take your time and read all that it says. I read it about 3 times and saw the cancellation terms.
So in reality, you don’t really get a free trial if you cancel you still have to pay a cancellation fee.
Hello there! You will get a free trial for 14 days but please note that you’re subscribing to their 6-month plan. The free trial would help you save up to $60.
I did not see anything about a cancellation fee. What is it?
“You are committing to a six-month subscription, but you will be billed on a monthly basis. If you cancel before the end of your subscription, an early termination fee of up to $25 may apply. See our Renewal and Cancellation Terms for more details.”
May try this. Been wondering how it works for a long time
Although I forgot to cancel the free trial before it was over, costing me $35, it really was all worth it to me. I absolutely am thrilled with all that Iāve been able to learn about my family from this website thus far, and Iām looking forward to many more discoveries. I greatly recommend ! š
As one of the moderators noted in her earlier post, I too set a calendar reminder a couple of days prior to expiration of free trials to make sure I cancel. Iāve forgotten too many time to count, but the calendar trick works well for me.
I also do the same with auto renewals on things like streaming services where I pay annually to keep my overall cost down. The rationale is that they often run deals that end up being cheaper than the rate I would otherwise be charged so Iāll sign up under the better terms for the upcoming year. Even if itās only for new customers, I just have one of the other adults in my house set the account up in their name as they meet the legal definition of new customer in most cases.
An alternetive is Familysearch.org. Itās free.
