Hello Carpenter List,
FTDNA just started to offer a $10.00 discount coupon to those who upload a GEDCOM file to
their personal results page. One per customer.
I created a GEDCOM of just my paternal line then opened it for review. I then eliminated
the data I did not want to share, & eliminated notes. For those living, I took out
birth dates and put in the word Living. I then created a new GEDCOM of my stripped down
file and that was the one I uploaded to FTDNA for the $10 coupon. If you need help doing
this, please let me know.
Go to your Family Tree DNA personal results page and click on the icon: $10 Coupon for
your Family Tree. Follow the directions, ignore or resist the screen to use the coupon
immediately – just X out. You will get a discount code and that same code will be emailed
to your email address on file. With you get the email, again resist the temptation to use
it right away. Wait for a sale! Get a discount on an upgrade or a new kit sale then add
the discount coupon.
This coupon has no expiration date and can be used for ANY DNA TEST OR UPGRADE over $40,
even new ones. Use it by adding it to a test or upgrade for yourself or share your coupon
with anyone you wish to have tested.
Again, while not specifically mentioned, there are no real restrictions posted or given
for using the coupon, as long as the DNA test is over $40. I have asked FTDNA if I can
donate my $10 coupon to the Carpenter Cousins General Fund. If this is allowed, I will
let every one know.
Regardless of your choice for your coupon, spend it wisely!
