Ah, Black Friday and Cyber Monday: two glorious days when capitalism throws a glitter bomb of "deals" in our faces, and we collectively lose our minds trying to snag bargains we’ll probably regret. If you’re not elbowing Karen in electronics for a discounted TV, maybe you’re scrambling for a too-good-to-be-true vacation package you won’t use until next year.
Lucky for you, I’ve sifted through the travel deals (you’re welcome), so you can skip the drama and jump straight to the FOMO. Whether you're dreaming of sipping margaritas on the beach or Instagramming from a posh hotel you can’t pronounce, here's your guide to Cyber Week’s finest travel savings. Let's dive into this frenzy of fine print and blackout dates.
Sandals Resorts: Because the Caribbean Isn’t Going to Post Itself
65% Off Vacations + $1,500 Credit
Feel like royalty with overwater villas and fruity cocktails. Sandals is practically paying you to show up—with up to $1,500 in credits and 65% off your stay. Plus, they’ll toss in a free night if you book the right room. But the real kicker? They’ll donate $15 to charity. You get a vacation; someone gets a sandwich. Win-win.
IHG Hotels: Where Discounts Are More Like a Suggestion
Up to 40% Off (ish)
IHG’s offer lets you save up to 40% off at their Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, but let's be real: only if you happen to book that one room in December no one else wants. Oh, and a measly 17% off for other properties. IHG tries, I guess.
Cathay Pacific: Extra $75 Off If You Join Their Club
Joining a loyalty program for a $75 discount? Cathay Pacific clearly thinks you’re desperate. Sure, you’ll save a few bucks, but you’ll also get 35 promotional emails a day. Enjoy your inbox spam!
Hard Rock Hotels: Discounts As Loud As Their Brand
Up to 50% Off All-Inclusive Resorts
All-inclusive means you won’t even have to think—about food, drinks, or your life choices. And if you join their loyalty program, Unity by Hard Rock, they’ll sweeten the deal. Flexible check-in, late checkout, and maybe even a room upgrade. Who doesn’t love pretending to be a VIP?
Marriott Bonvoy: Finally Living Up to Its Fancy Name
Up to 25% Off via the App
Marriott wants you to download their app for 25% off last-minute stays. Apparently, their app is now the gateway to savings. Extra points for shameless self-promotion, Marriott. Bravo.
Hilton in South America: 30% Off, But Only If You’re Down South
Colombia and Brazil, Anyone?
If you've been dying to visit Brazil or Colombia (and honestly, who hasn’t?), Hilton’s got a deal for you. Up to 30% off through next year, because nothing screams “holiday cheer” like sweating in the Amazon.
Qatar Airways: Discounts for Your Mile-High Dreams
Flying solo? Get 20% off. Traveling with your squad? Save up to 30%. Just avoid the blackout dates, because those conveniently coincide with every time you’d actually want to fly.
Club Med: Half Off and $500 Instant Savings
Sure, you’ll save a ton, but you’re also committing to wearing matching polos while playing volleyball with strangers. Club Med is perfect if you love a good deal and mildly cultish vibes.
The Standard Hotels: 30% Off, But Only Through March
This isn’t even a Black Friday deal; it’s more of a “please fill our empty rooms in the off-season” situation. But hey, their hotels are trendy, and Instagramming their minimalist lobby will earn you at least 12 likes.
Virgin Hotels: Richard Branson’s Penthouse? Yes, Please
Book now, save 25%, and you might even win an upgrade to Richard Branson’s Penthouse. Think of the clout. You’ll dine out on that story for years.
The Meritage Collection: Napa Valley at a Discount
Wine country at 30% off? Sounds great—until you realize your savings will evaporate in wine tastings and artisanal cheese plates. Still, cheers to that!
Singapore Airlines: Travel in Style for Less
Up to 20% off tickets sounds nice, but "economy" still means sitting in a human sardine can. At least Singapore Airlines lets you pretend you're fancy.
Miraval Resorts: $300 Resort Credits for Spa Rats
A luxury spa retreat with $300 to blow on treatments. Sure, you’ll save, but you’ll also spend $3,000 “embracing mindfulness.” Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Westgate Resorts: Half Off (But You Have to Sit Through a Timeshare Pitch)
Up to 50% off sounds enticing—until you’re roped into a two-hour timeshare presentation. Prepare to nod politely while secretly plotting your escape.
Rosewood Hotels: 30% Off and $100 Credits
For when you want to vacation like royalty but still clip coupons. Rosewood’s luxury vibe + discounts = the bougiest Black Friday offer on this list.
Vegas, Baby: Cyber Sale Madness
Caesars Entertainment is practically begging you to come blow your savings in their casinos. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—including your Cyber Monday "savings."
Palladium Hotels: Save 60%, Because Why Not
Mexico, Spain, or Brazil—you choose. Just remember: that 60% off still doesn’t cover the tequila shots you’ll inevitably regret.
Priority Pass: Airport Lounge Memberships for Peasants
Can’t afford first class? Settle for a discounted Priority Pass, where the pretzels are free, and the Wi-Fi is questionable. At least you’ll feel less like cattle.
Bahia Principe: Drink Packages and Room Upgrades
Let’s be honest: no one books an all-inclusive resort without fully intending to abuse the free bar. Bahia gets it. Drink responsibly, or don’t. We’re not judging.
Fiesta Americana: 70% Off Is Basically Free
The kind of deal that makes you suspicious. But hey, if you’re willing to gamble on your sanity, Cancun is calling.
Rocky Mountaineer: Discounts for Train Nerds
If chugging through the Rockies in a glass-domed train is your vibe, then congrats! You’re weird, but at least you’re saving $2,000 per couple.
La Compagnie: Fancy Flights at Discount Prices
This all-business class airline wants you to think you’re getting a deal. But let’s be real: flying to Paris isn’t exactly slumming it.
Arlo Hotels: 50% Off, Because New York Is Expensive
Scoring half off an Arlo Hotel stay is like winning the lottery—because that’s the only way most of us can afford to stay in Manhattan.
Delaware North: Parks, Resorts, and 30% Savings
Save 30% on accommodations at national parks. Because nothing says "Black Friday" like scoring a deal on views that are literally free.
In Conclusion: Black Friday FOMO Is Real
There you have it, folks: the good, the bad, and the blackout dates. Whether you’re planning to splurge or just hate scrolling for deals yourself, this list has you covered. Go forth and travel—but remember: those “savings” will feel a lot less sweet when your credit card bill arrives. Cheers!
