well ive had my reply from gr - as long as i pay 4 weeks before my membership runs out then i pay £9 something so i will have to buy my postal order soon to make sure it gets to them 4 weeks before - they will have to recieve it about the middle of march - my membership runs out 20.4.07

they told me i was paying 9.95 for a year, but have just checked bank account and they only took £7.50 what is going on?????? Jane

hello christine, just got ur message, if you had no joy, dont look like i will either!!

I think this idea of letting people onto this site to do research ,get in touch with other members and use most of the facilities is unfair to paying members,we are paying for them. These people on the fringe should be paying half fees ,which would swell the genes coffers without sticking the extra fees on full members bills. Registering onto genes is NOT free,WE are paying the bill .Fred.

I have nudged a thread I had on here a few weeks ago. Christine

im really worried about this as my membership runs out in april. ive tried to click on continous membership but for some reason it wont save ive sent gr an email to try and find out whats going on - will add again once i hear from them

I renewed on the 14th and paid for the year.

i clicked continous membership, it wasn,t taken from my account,then i had an email this morning saying, membership runout....£9.95 for a year!! great, so i renewed, but its for 6 months!! I am very annoyed now, as email said 1 year, and i have complained. waiting on reply.

The FAQ says 'If you choose to upgrade to full membership it costs £9.95 for 6 months'. No mention of the price to renew an existing full membership. Rose

Isn't this another of their 'market testing' thingies? See how many people will pay for six months at twelve month prices? OC

Rose, I paid $14.49 about the 18th Jan, my renewel date was/is 26 Feb 07 but I clicked the button when I was looking and next thing I knew I had renewed, anyway checked and double checked the bank statement online today and thats what I paid, I am a full member now until 26 Feb 08. But then I will be back in the UK paying in pounds!! Debs x

Debs, Are you sure you signed up for a year? The quote of $14.49 USD is for 6 months . If you mess around with your country of residence you can see the rates in the various currencies. Rose

It is that price if you don't renew straightaway, if you have let your membership lapse, it is the price you quote, but if you have continuous membership it is £9.95 per annum.

well, i dont understand it, seems some ppl are being told one thing, mines due today, sojshould go out tomorrow, in FAQs, it says for 6 months, but why do the americans(sorry americans, not ur fault) get it for £7.50 a year??? very weird that!!

I think for new members it's 6 months. For us regulars, it's still 12 (for now)

mine was paid yesterday, £9.50, and it now says full member until 19 feb 08 so it is still a year............... phew, had me worried then !! Jane

this is what it says in FAQs How much does it cost? It is free to register with Genes Reunited. You can build your family tree, use the search facilities to find possible matches to your family name, add notes against relations in your tree and receive emails from other members and reply to these emails. Also, if you already have experience in researching your family history you can import your GEDCOM file on to your Genes Reunited family tree. If you choose to upgrade to full membership it costs £9.95 for 6 months. You will have the ability to contact other members from your search results, link up to view other members' trees when they invite you to do so, post photos on your family tree and add messages to the message boards now if i hadnt have noticed this today, the would have debited my account for £9.50 for just 6 months, with out informing me!!

this is what mine says: Thank you for choosing to become a full member Full membership costs £9.95 GBP for 6 months and lets you access all the site's services including sending unlimited messages.

I renewed a few weeks ago and I paid $14.49 which is about 7 pounds 50p. Thats for the year. Debs x
