Hello Summer Sale until August 31, 2018, Lots of Family Tree DNA Tests Included

It's August 1st and that means its sale time at Family Tree DNA but what the company calls the sale varies year to year. Sizzling Summer in 2016, Friends and Family in 2017 and drum roll please ... the Hello Summer of 2018 just in time for the end of summer.

What ever you call the sale, it means DNA tests are on sale for at least 20 percent off at Family Tree DNA until August 31, 2018.
Shipping and taxes are extra which vary depending on where the test is being shipped. Shipping to Michigan was $12.95 (the last we know of) which covers receiving and sending the test.

If you (and the test you manage) belong to an FTDNA Project such as a Y-DNA surname project or geographical project, check for additional pricing discounts on top of the already discounted prices FTDNA projects receive.

If you already have a DNA test at Family Tree DNA and want to upgrade that test to include another type of DNA test that is on sale and buy an upgrade to your existing test, simply sign into that particular DNA test kit and then place the order. You will need to do this for each test separately if you plan to upgrade multiple tests. 

Also, remember that Family Tree DNA also has a DNA Automsomal Transfer option. Autosomal DNA Transfers can be done with 23andMe V3 or V4 tests and AncestryDNA V1 and V2 tests. The initial transfer is free for a look at your matches and is just $19 to unlock the test to see more and be able to contact matches. We have two posts here and here that explain DNA Autosomal Transfers. 

Family Tree DNA does not require an annual subscription. Each test kit has its own login/password. You can manage your own test or allow (give access) to someone else to do so for you. Inside the test kit is a release form the tested person signs and sends with the samples so the DNA can be tested. There is also an option to indicate Beneficiary Information (who gets access to your DNA after you are gone) in the test kit account settings.
