I tried that last year and didn't get any where so didn't even bother this year.
Guess it's who you talk to.

Ancestry.com renewal...
I have only paid 155 for the last 2 years.? which was for the world deluxe.
I just told them last year I could not afford to continue unless they kept it
the same cost.? So, they did.? But the year before they said they could
not do it they had no specials and I just waited.. and talked again later
and they did it.? I know many who only pay this.? That is why I said
to talk to them.. you have the upper hand for the most part in this economy.

Ancestry.com renewal...
A year ago I went thru the same thing.......
I just subscribe to the census portion of ancestry. Last year they told me
my renewal would be $299. Yikes. I told the caller that I was therefore
not going to renew. I survived for a while, then discovered that
Ancestry renewed my subscription anyways.......at $99.
I didn't spot the withdrawal right away, so for about 4 months I didn't use
Ancestry, thinking my subscription was over. And when I discovered it was
still active, I sent them a little note about how unhappy I was that they
renewed without my OK......but that at that rate, and not the higher one, I
would continue my subscription.
This year, I again got notified that my subscription was due for renewal,
and unless I notified them to the contrary, it would automatically renew for
$99. They didn't try to upgrade me to the $299 deluxe World membership this
time.
The $99 is for just access to US Census records. You can get a deluxe US
membership for $155.
The $299 subscription is their World membership. Naturally they are going
to want to upgrade you to their most expensive package when you renew!
