23andMe Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale

There have been some changes in the genealogy/DNA marketplace so it has taken us a bit longer to write about them. The changes are that a few more of the Genealogy/DNA testing companies are offering health components to their testing options.

For 2019's Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, the DNA tests at 23andMe are up to 50% off. This sale ends December 2, 2019, and taxes and shipping are extra. 

23andMe's Ancestry Only DNA test now includes 30+ Trait Reports. This test is regularly $99 but is on sale for $79.

23andMe's Health + Ancestry Service is regularly priced $199 but is on sale for just $99. 

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 a general look at your mtDNA haplogroup. No subscription is needed to see/use all the DNA matching features. A newer feature is the Family Tree feature which is automatically built from your DNA relationships.

See the 23andMe website to learn more about the Health service features which includes 10+ Health Pre-disposition reports, 5+ Wellness reports, and 40+ Carrier Status reports.

23andMe now has a VIP Health + Ancestry Service which is regularly priced $499 and is on salel for $399. 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. However, at this time is does not have any tests for sale on Amazon. The two offerings currently there (as of Nov. 27) are by a third-party seller.

(In the future if you do buy these tests on the Amazon website, 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.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
