Up to £300 Off Virgin Holidays: Plenty of Dates Available
The Virgin Holidays Black Friday sale is now live. You can save up to £300 on all new holiday bookings (flight + hotel or flight + car) made before 23:59 on Tuesday 2nd December 2025, for travel before 17th December 2026 (blackout dates apply).
You must add the code BF2025 at check-out for the discount to apply.
Savings are based on the total cost of the holiday:
- £2,000–£2,999 = £75 off
- £3,000–£3,999 = £100 off
- £4,000–£5,999 = £175 off
- £6,000–£9,999 = £225 off
- £10,000+ = £300 off
You won’t be able to use the discount alongside any other offer or promotion, and not every departure date or hotel will show the full Black Friday saving. Peak periods and popular destinations will sell out quickly, as they did in previous Black Friday events, so it’s worth booking sooner rather than later.
Cyber Sale: Up to 35% Off Preferred Hotels + 35,000 Bonus Points
Preferred Hotels has launched its 2025 Cyber Sale, and there’s a great points bonus available alongside an excellent discount.
You’ll save up to 35% on participating hotels worldwide and earn 35,000 bonus I Prefer points when you book by 4th December 2025 and stay at least two nights by 30th June 2026.
You must register for the offer before you book, join I Prefer if you are not already a member, and use rate code MKTCYB25. The bonus is only awarded once per member, regardless of how many qualifying stays you book.
This year’s sale is better than previous years because the required stay has been reduced to two nights. There are 245 participating hotels, many of which work perfectly for a weekend break.
London options include The Londoner, The Beaumont, The Guardsman, Middle Eight, Royal Lancaster, The Pelham, The Mandeville, and The BoTree. Elsewhere, you’ll find options in St Andrews, York, Belfast and more.
Across Europe, there are many weekend break options from Castello di Velona Resort in Tuscany to The Capra in Saas-Fee, or city stays such as The Metropole Geneva and Milano Verticale UNA Esperienze.
At most hotels, I Prefer members earn 10-15 points per $1 spent, depending on status. Even at Titanium status, you would need to spend over $2,000 (£1,516) to earn 35,000 points. Redemptions start at just 15,000 points per night, and many are priced at 30,000 points, including the 4* East Hamburg, 5* Delfines Lima and the 4* Opera Istanbul.
The bonus posts are available once per member and do not count toward elite status. Your points will be in your account within two weeks of completing your stay.
This is a great deal for excellent value on a short stay.

The deal runs from Friday 28th November to Sunday 7th December for travel until 30th June 2026, although blackout dates do apply. You’ll need to book via the website using the code UKBLACKFRI.
If you’re a Revolut customer, the sale is already live, with up to 20x RevPoints on all bookings, including those to Hong Kong that don’t qualify for the discount.
The promotion covers a long list of Asia Pacific gateways:

Cathay operates from Heathrow and Manchester, with onward connections through Hong Kong. You can also start your journey from Aberdeen, Newcastle, Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Belfast when connecting to Heathrow.
This is just the sort of Black Friday deal worth a look if you’re planning to fly to Asia Pacific before the end of June, especially after the recent positive changes to the Cathay loyalty programme. You can read our Cathay loyalty guide here. Once the public sale opens, I expect availability to dwindle fast.
