I just did my 2 week free subscription with them...and they called me about 4 days into all perky and chipper and wanted to know if I was find any great stuff.
"Yep." I said.
"So are you going to extend your membership?" he asked.
"Nope," I said. He sounded very flustered and frustrated, and didn't understand why. I told him I didn't like the fact that ancestry had bought up all the free sources for people to look up their information, and I had heard plenty of nightmare stories about people being charged when they weren't supposed to be, or submitting information that was later published and incorrect.
I told him I was just using them to get the 1930 censuses that weren't available through godfrey.org yet, and I wanted copies of some draft registration cards. Other than that, I told him they were destroying genealogy and I hated their business practices.
I think he about had a heart attack.
Then, I called up precisely 2 days before my freebie was to expire, and the girl kep telling me I could extend it. I must have told her 3 times, "Cancel it immediately. I do NOT want to have to think about this membership beyond today. You say call you 2 days before expiration. I'm DOING that. Please cancel it as I've asked."
