SO PLEASED. THANK U
Customer support through e-mail and phone is atrocious; e-mail "matches" are pretty far-fetched.
What a great site with such easy and friendly people to work with!
Thanks to Dean of MyHeritage vip customer support responding to my site Jabber complaint, MyHeritage has honoured their site service terms.
A few weeks ago I made a family tree and purchased a DNA kit, I am very happy with my research and there is a great support!
I am not reviewing the results of my DNA, but I am upset that I had to pay $12 shipping and another $3 to send my samples.
Dear Jennifer,
I regret to find that you were unaware of the shipping charges involved in your DNA kit purchase. I can understand how frustrating it may be and I sympathize with your efforts.
Your feedback and overall satisfaction is very important to us and I would like to see what can be done about this.
In order to help, I must first locate your account. Please e-mail me at your registered e-mail address at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com. I'd be happy to help with the highest form of priority.
Sincerely Yours
Rafael

THEY CHARGED MY CARD THE 119.00 BEFORE THE TRIAL PERIOD AND YOU CAN'T REACH THEM ON THE PHONE, E-MAILED THEM AND NO RESPONSE.
Dear Allison,
I regret to find that you were charged for an annual membership without knowing of the annual membership charge and I will do all I can to help.
Firstly, I must clarify that Myheritage informs all of the annual charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in the membership and after every renewal. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage and going to your My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.
Your MyHeritage member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.
Please write to me from your registered MyHeritage email address to: dean.vipsupport@myheritage.com and I will assist you with your case personally.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Dean,
MyHeritage Team.

Avoid this site like the plague. Cancel your credit card. They will milk you. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
The program is very easy to handle and the output of the different reports are very good.

Thank you guys

Happy with experience. The test provided a great insight...
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team (support@myheritage.com).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan and fellow users, In regards to the FTB not working, I may have found a solution, please follow these directions. Please right click on the FTB icon on your desktop, and click on 'Properties': Once you have opened the 'Properties' menu then click on the 'Compatibility' tab: If the field "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" is checked, and it says below "Windows 7", uncheck the box. Please let me know if this has solved the issue. Should this not work for you then please get in touch with the support team at support@myheritage.com from your registered MyHeritage email address and a friendly representative will help you at the first available moment. Kind Regards, Dean, MyHeritage Team.
Answer: Probbably you should like to know what are additional charges - described on MyHeritage site: Help Center > Account and Subscriptions > Subscriptions Whats the difference between a FAMILY SITE SUBSCRIPTION and a DATA SUBSCRIPTION?

Answer: I believe a direct ancestor is someone without whom you would not be here. All your other ancestors are indirect.
