Prime Day has now ended.
Deal is back. This has been super popular so reposting. Also worth pointing out that Ancestry.com has lowered their DNA package to $69 in response. Some more information on the differences here.
Update: This offer has expired. They now have the DNA-only 23andMe tests on sale for $49 instead of $99.

Our Verdicts
Genetic testing isn’t for everybody and you should do some research before purchasing this for yourself or somebody else. Here is a good place to start. Knowing that you’re at a genetic risk for something or a carrier for something can really play with your mind. I personally find these sorts of reports to be insanely interesting, but as I said this definitely is not for everybody. I can stress how important it is to do some research before purchasing! Originally this was posted in our Amazon Prime Day sticky but this has been by far the most popular deal so I wanted to do a main site post as well. As always remember you can stack further discounts for an even bigger savings.
