Park Plaza – part of the Club Carlson chain – has announced a flash sale running this weekend, with decent rates for their eight hotels located in London. They are calling it Black Friday, even though that American shopping extravaganza doesn’t take place until next week.

You can reach the landing page for this promotion by clicking here.

However, you don’t need to book via that specific page. You can book via the App by entering “BLACK” into the “Promotional Code” field on the App booking form. Why? Because Club Carlson is offering a 3,000 point bonus for your first App booking during 2017.

You can also book via the standard websites. Why should you do that? Because you can earn 6.06% cashback from Topcashback.

Do some quick math to determine whether 6.06% cashback or 3,000 points (roughly £9-12 of value) makes more sense for your particular stay.

And, of course, don’t forget that you might be able to earn 15,000 bonus points for a single stay at any Club Carlson hotel before the end of January.

The Park Plaza chain has a handful of centrally-located hotels in central London.

A Final Note

I’m not a big fan of booking prepaid hotel rates – especially for arrivals more than a couple of weeks in advance (plans change and better offers come along) – but I would highlight that you definitely should hold off making any “regular prepaid” reservations until you see if any particularly good hotel deals arise out of these Black Friday / Cyber Monday promotions…
