Feeling Ripped Off
April 15, 2025

I would like to bring to your attention an issue I am currently experiencing with my subscription. I initially purchased a year-long subscription in December 2024, which is reflected as ACTIVE and set to expire on December 25,2025. However, today, April 14,2025, I am encountering difficulties accessing DNA pages and receiving a message indicating that "The subscription plan of your family site has expired. All data is intact. To restore full access to your family site, extend your subscription." Upon reviewing my account settings, it confirms that my subscription is indeed shown as "Unlimited - subscription is active." I have reached out to MyHeritage via email and am awaiting their response. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We understand that you're seeing conflicting information regarding your subscription status, especially in relation to access to the DNA pages. It’s clear that while your subscription appears as active, you're encountering an error message suggesting otherwise, which must be confusing.

You've done the right thing by reaching out to our support team via email. Since they've already been contacted, they'll be able to investigate this thoroughly and ensure your access is restored as soon as possible.

If you need to follow up, please include a link to this review in your message to vipcare@myheritage. Com, so we can reference it easily.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Samuel

Excellent information and response
April 14, 2025

The information research they provide is so easy to follow. I have built my tree all the way back to the 1500's. The sources and the information provided are accurate and detailed. I love the ability to make charts and books to share with my family

My Heritage has been a great resource in completing our family history. It has been a wonderful resource for locating information on extended members of our families. The regular emails on searches also, whilst containing new information, act as a stimulus to get active again.
