DNA Sales Timed for Columbus Day, Discover Something New About You

As we wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November, there are a few DNA sales taking place right now for the Columbus Day holiday.

MyHeritage's Columbus Day sale ends in four days. MyHeritageDNA (autosomal) Ancestry only tests regularly $79 each are on sale for $49 each (plus taxes and shipping) until October 14, 2019. Orders of two or more MyHeritageDNA Ancestry Only kits receive free shipping. This is the lowest price of the year so far.

MyHeritageDNA is one of the newer players in the DNA and genealogy testing niche. Its customer base is more international. Early last year, the company has added a chromosome browser feature and made its internal member messaging feature free. It also offers an ethnicity/admixture report and a list of DNA matches. No data subscription is needed to see/use all the DNA matching features. A few additional features were added earlier this year like the DNA Tools AutoCluster feature.

MyHeritage now has a MyHeritage DNA Health+Ancestry test for $199 regular price. It is not currently on sale at this time.

As a reminder, MyHeritageDNA also sells its test kits on Amazon.com and often at sale prices when it is having a sale. However, for this sale the price on Amazon is regular price. So it makes more sense to buy it directly from MyHeritage.

23 and Me is celebrating the release of some new features with a sale on its autosomal DNA test variations. This sale ends October 15, 2019.

23andMe's Ancestry Only DNA test now includes 30+ Trait Reports. The test is regularly $99 but is on sale for $70 plus taxes and shipping.

23andMe's Health + Ancestry Service is regularly priced $199 but is on sale for $149 plus taxes and shipping. 

23andMe Ancestry Service (autosomal DNA) provides an ethnicity (admixture) report, list of DNA matches, chromosome browser and an internal member messaging system. 23andMe also provides a general look at your Y-DNA haplogroup (if male) and mtDNA haplogroup. No subscription is needed to see/use all the DNA matching features. See the 23andMe website to learn more about the Health service option.

23andMe now has a VIP Health + Ancestry Service which is regularly priced $499 and is currently not on sale. This VIP Health + Ancestry is actually a bundle package which includes two Ancestry + Health test kits, overnight shipping, priority lab processing, premium customer support and 1-on-1 Ancestry results walkthrough.

As a reminder, 23andMe also sells its test kits on Amazon.com and often at sale prices when it is having a sale. (Make sure the seller shown is 23andMe fulfilled by Amazon and not sold by a third-party unauthorized seller.) Non-Amazon Prime 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.

Above: Look for this when buying on Amazon.
