Apparently this is available as a one time deal to get it again, you may have to have a gap in service, and re-subscribe after a time. I have heard that customers can call and ask for a limited subscription (called Ancestry Insights, I believe), that would allow viewing the trees of, and communicating with, their DNA matches, seeing the hints and circles, for a yearly cost of $49 - but missing the ability to search Ancestry's record databases. Here's one user's experience.ДЄlthough, I could be wrong, because it is tough to make use of your DNA match list at Ancestry, without having a subscription so you could view their trees. Who counts on needing an ongoing subscription, just to make good use of DNA matches? You don't need to do that at 23andMe and FTDNA, at least. I would bet that a majority of Ancestry's DNA testers are not subscribers, or if they initially do subscribe, they cancel their subscriptions at the end of the subscribed period, after trying it. Newbies who are non-subscribers, see the ads that tell them they can find out their ethnicities, and do the test. I don't think their huge base of people paying almost $400 a year for many years would be people with a passing interest or curiosity.But not all of Ancestry's DNA testers have subscriptions. However, your remark that Ancestry is for those who have a passing interest in genealogy at best is quite ridiculous. I love FTDNA but sad to say if Ancestry had a chromosome browser they would probably leave FT in the dust.

I don't think their huge base of people paying almost $400 a year for many years would be people with a passing interest or curiosity.ДЄlso, I have several kits on FT and they all have code names

They want the matching there first and then they will transfer to FTDNA and upload to Gedmatch. When someone first wants to buy auto insurance where do their thoughts first go to? Allstate, Geico, State Farm?ДЄnother reason they sell so many kits goes along with what you said.their very large research base and those who have paid for subscriptions on Ancestry for years. When someone decides to be tested who hasn't been involved with much genealogy research they will automatically think of Ancestry. One reason Ancestry sells so many kits is they are a by-word for ancestry research. It was only ethnicity at that point, I think. When I tested with Ancestry it was Beta and offered to long-time members for $10 to build their data base. The use of code names to protect a member's 'privacy' and provide anonymity at any of these sites doesn't promote communication or mutual trust, either.

Actually I dislike Ancestry most, because it is geared toward attracting those for whom genealogy is a passing curiosity at best. The separation of the DNA testing section and their perpetual subscription fees for access to the section containing records lures people in and provides an endless income stream. Some brick walls might have come down by now if Ancestry had a chromosome browser.ДЄncestry has a very clever and profitable marketing strategy. If Ancestry had a chromosome browser, it would be the best company of all. Dozens of Harprings at Ancestry, one here, etc. I tested my mother at all 3 companies and she now has 13 matches descended from her great-grandfather, but only 2 of them tested here, and I paid for the test for one of them. I get pages and pages of 5th to remote cousins! And I have to wait weeks to get 2 or 3 new ones. And few people list surnames or have trees, but that's the case everywhere now.Д«ut the worst thing (and it's not FTDNA's fault) is that it seems like if anyone is anywhere near closely related to me, they test anywhere but here. Now the response rate here is almost zero, as bad or worse than. A few years ago almost everyone who tested here would reply to my email. I get more responses there than I do here. I abandoned 23andMe totally after they introduced the new experience, or whatever it was called, but I went back to it several months ago and decided I like it. Here you might see their last name and haplogroup. And you can also see what matches you have in common with them.

Do you know how to find your 'Anonymous' matches at FTDNA using the advanced matching tool? What can you do with them? You can't even attempt to contact them.
