Genetic Testing Sale at 23andme.com for $99

Dec 12, 2012 12:23 AM

Normally $300, so this is a pretty good deal. I work in a laboratory with a few med techs, and our newest hire raves about this site. All you do is spit in a tube and send it back. No blood, no needles.

Shipping is an extra $10, but that includes shipping the kit to you and then back to their lab, so still not bad.

I signed up when this was on sale a long time ago and it is well worth the money. It is even better when you get family members to join, especially your parents.

@mtrlgrl: How extensive or basic was your profile? I've been contemplating doing this, but haven't decided whether I wanted the basic version, or the whole shebang done. What I'd really like would be to have Louis Henry Gates show up and tell me to whom I am related.

@lavikinga: It is quite extensive, especially the health risk part. Some time after I got mine done, they developed a new platform with more results that I could get, including Alzheimer testing (it is an upgrade offer for $95). You can control how people contact you for the ancestry part, and I have been contacted by possible distant relatives and cousins. For the sale amount, it is well worth getting, imho.

@mtrlgrl: Oooh, thanks for the reply. My sister & I have gotten into geneology fairly recently. This sounds like something worth looking into.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
