  Family & Friends Railcard Black Friday 20% off

  Online discount gets one-year railcard for £24 (norm £30)

  Follow MSE Deals on Facebook and Twitter for Black Friday updates, and see our Black Friday 2018 Guide for all our predictions, info and analysis.

  Travelling by train with the family can be costly, but if you have a railcard, you could be on track for a decent saving.

  Railcard has confirmed that for Black Friday, you'll be able to get 20% off a one-year Family & Friends Railcard from 0.01am on Fri 23 Nov until 11.59pm on Tue 27 Nov via this Family & Friends Railcard* link.

  It means you can get the one-year railcard for £24 instead of the usual £30. The card gives you a third off most adult rail fares and 60% off for kids when you travel together.

  As a Black Friday deal, this isn't particularly impressive as it offers 20% off the Family & Friends Railcard a few times a year, and past Black Friday promotions have offered as much as £10 off. But of course, if you're wanting this railcard or it's time to renew, then any discount is good to have. The railcard itself can save you a lot of money in the long run – even if you don’t use the train that often, just one rail trip costing over £72 can save you more than the £24 you'll have paid for the railcard.

  How the railcard works:

  • Up to four adults aged 16 and over can get one-third off most rail fares (see below for restrictions) when travelling together with up to four children aged 5-15, who will get 60% off their fares. Under-5s go free anyway.
  • Two adults can be named on the card and at least one must be travelling whenever it's used.
  • You don't need to be related – so it's not just for families, but also friends who can share a card and each benefit from the discount, just as long as you travel with at least one child.
    
    

  The Family & Friends Railcard can't be used on trains that depart before 9.30am weekdays, except public holidays, for journeys wholly within the London and South East Network Railcard area (see map) – outside this area there is no time restriction.

  For the full terms, see Family & Friends Railcard*. You can't get this offer at train stations, only online.

  It's worth noting, that you can get a three-year railcard for £70, so if you can afford it, then even with the 20% discount on a one-year railcard, it's slightly cheaper in the long run to buy a three-year one if you'll use it (and if you or family members will still be eligible).

  Other ways to get a discount on this and other railcards

  • Do you have an Annual Gold Card season ticket or know someone who does? See how to get a £10 railcard.
  • If you have a Tesco Clubcard with enough points, you could use your Clubcard vouchers to get a one-year railcard for £15 in vouchers. See National Railcards for £15 in Tesco points.
