Price Change for AncestryDNA

AncestryDNA's long-running reduced price of $79 it set to return to the $99 regular price on Monday, April 9, 2018. So you have until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 8, to purchase an AncestryDNA test kit for that reduced pricing.

Shipping and taxes are extra. We are not sure if the FREESHIPDNA code will work but it does not hurt to try it. Also remember that AncestryDNA sells its test kits on Amazon.com and at sale prices when it is having a sale. Non-AmazonPrime members get free shipping due to the total cost and because it is fulfilled by Amazon; prime members just get quicker 2-day shipping for free.

There is almost no question that AncestryDNA will have sales in the future like for various holidays and perhaps even for DNA Day which is April 25, this year. For your reference, sale prices in the past year have dipped down to $69 and even $59 occasionally.

AncestryDNA has the largest "pool" of people who have purchased autosomal DNA tests. It provides ethnicity/admixture reports, a match list, matches in common, and an internal member messaging system. It does not provide a chromosome browser tool. Also, if you do not have a data/records membership subscription you will not have access to some DNA features/tools such as member trees and the internal messaging system. Ancestry offers an AncestryDNAInsights subscription for about $59/year as of 2017 which would give access to all of the DNA tools but not any data/records.

At present, Ancestry is also having a 50 percent off sale for New Members on its 6-month US Discovery data subscription ($49 instead of $99 regular price) and its 6-month World Explorer data subscription ($99 instead of $209 regular price.)

Another method we have seen is that those have done an AncestryDNA test (but do not keep an Ancestry data subscription year-round) will sign up for a month subscription in order to more fully investigate their DNA matches (see the trees) and to make contact with matches. They will then cancel at the end of the month (before auto-billing kicks in the next month) and do the same thing again a couple or several months later


See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
