Current DNA Sales November 15, 2020

Updated November 16, 2020 – removed Sticky as new post is live.

MyHeritageDNA Sale ends today. AncestryDNA added the $60 test if you do a 3-month World Subscription today. AncestryDNA on Amazon is now temporarily on sale for $47. I hadn’t planned on updating today, but noticed the AncestryDNA sale on Amazon. Included the upgrade prices for FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA).

I believe the next major sale will be Black Friday/Cyber Monday for many of the companies in this list. There are generally year end sales although which is better depends as some years the year-end sale is better than the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale. 

The major DNA Sales going on now: 1) 23andMe kits on sale through November 26, 2020 – see 23andMe below for the sale prices, 2) LivingDNA sale still 30% off for Holiday Sale – no word on when it ends. 3) MyHeritage if you order the MyHeritage Basic kit offer https://myheritage.com/kit/ sale $59.00 (still available as of November 15, 2020, regular price $199.00 for the package); 4) AncestryDNA sale – see below for prices or AncestryDNA Sale Update – November 1, 2020. 5) MyHeritageDNA sale price $49, regular price $79; for Health test sale price $99, regular price $199.

TeloYears offers 2 COVID-19 tests for sale – they are only available for bulk orders right now. We currently offer COVID-19 rRT-PCR testing by shipping collection kits in bulk to qualifying organizations such as clinics/physician practices, city and state governments, hospitals, nursing homes, employers, and health plans.  A discount if you buy both together. Helix offers a COVID-19 test. Vitagene offers a COVID-19 test if you qualify. However, you will need to meet the requirements to qualify for the test which aren’t easy. Sequencing.com offers a free Coronavirus Health Assessment and a paid $34/use COVID-19 Severe Outcomes Genetic Analysis. FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA) offers a CCR5 test for $39; if you have the mutations, you are a lot less likely to get COVID-19; it’s not a guarantee.

Over 1,500 words. If you are interested in a specific company, scroll down to it and see current price.

As always, check prices before you order! You can also check EBay and Amazon in case you find a lower price there, but make sure it’s for the same company and test. Some of the companies show an end date for their sale prices, but many don’t. Amazon loves to raise and lower prices on DNA tests on a somewhat regular basis, usually every few days for some of the major companies, bit less often for other companies. For EBay and Amazon purchases, always activate the test as soon as you get it to avoid problems.

Update to the last post: Current DNA Sales November 13, 2020. As of today, WeGene has not started selling $99.00 DNA kits. I check every few days since at some point I expect to see them offering this price.
