We are due to travel to Florida on Friday.
We have been out to the US already twice this year so already had our on line travel authorisation, I even have the printed copy of our applications with an expiration date of 2012. Just thought I would check on-line that everything was OK and it has come up saying expired - you now need to pay for a renewal. Has this happened to others?
I obviously have no choice but to renew but would like to find out why it has expired.

An ESTA registration should only expire after 2 years, or when your passport expires, whichever comes first. I have not heard of any expiring earlier than this.
