Eurostar Discount Code & Voucher December 2025

More Ways to Save Money at Eurostar

Eurostar's got some brilliant tricks up their sleeve for savvy travellers who want European adventures without the hefty price tag. From flexible booking options that slash prices in half to a loyalty programme that actually rewards you properly, there's more to saving here than just hunting for the occasional eurostar discount code. Let's dive into the smart strategies that'll keep more money in your pocket.

How to Apply Your Eurostar Discount Code

When you've got a valid eurostar voucher code, applying it is straightforward — though there are a few insider tips that'll help you maximise your savings.

1. Select your journey on eurostar.com and choose your preferred departure times and ticket type
2. Add passengers and any extras like seat selection or meal preferences
3. Look for the promo code box during checkout — it's usually labelled 'Discount code' or 'Voucher code'
4. Enter your code exactly as provided, including any capital letters or special characters
5. Click 'Apply' and check that your discount appears before completing payment
6. Complete your booking — your savings will show on the final confirmation

Just remember that discount codes can't be used with Eurostar Snap bookings, though you can use e-vouchers. If your code isn't working, double-check it's still valid and that your booking meets any minimum spend requirements.

Save Up to 50% with Eurostar Snap

This is where Eurostar gets clever with flexible travel times. Eurostar Snap lets you save up to 50% off standard ticket prices if you're happy to let them choose your exact departure time.

Here's how it works: you pick your travel date and time slot (before or after 1 PM from London, or 2 PM from other stations), and they'll tell you your actual train times at least 48 hours before travel. You can book up to 14 days ahead for London routes or 8 days for other routes, and even leave it until the day before if you're feeling spontaneous.

The catch? Snap tickets are completely non-exchangeable, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Plus, you can't choose seats, so groups aren't guaranteed to sit together. But if you're flexible and travelling light (no bikes allowed), it's one of the smartest ways to slash your fare — up to 50% off regular fares to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Lille.

What You Get with Club Eurostar

Club Eurostar is completely free to join and turns every journey into future savings. You'll earn 1.2 points for every £1 spent on tickets, and those points actually translate into real value.

Turn Points into Instant Savings

From just 200 Club Eurostar points, you can get discounts on your next trip. Hit 1,000 points and you're looking at a completely free one-way ticket to any destination with zero restrictions on dates or times. You can also use 600 points to upgrade from Standard to Eurostar Plus for extra legroom.

Climb the Tiers for Bonus Points

The more you travel, the more bonus points you earn. Avantage members get 25% extra points, Carte Blanche members get 50%, and Étoile members score 75% bonus points on every booking. Carte Blanche members also get two companion vouchers each year — essentially free trips for friends. Étoile members can hop on any train to their destination on booking day, which is brilliant for flexible schedules (excludes routes to and from London).

Convert Points from Other Programmes

Got American Express Membership Rewards or Accor Live Limitless points sitting around? Turn 1,500 Amex points into 100 Club Eurostar points, or exchange 2,000 ALL points for 300 Club Eurostar points. It's like having a universal currency for European travel.

Book Smart with Train + Hotel Packages

Instead of booking your transport and accommodation separately, Eurostar's Train + Hotel packages bundle everything together for extra savings. You'll earn 1.2 points for every £2 spent on these packages through Club Eurostar, and often pay less than booking individually.

These packages work particularly well for city breaks to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, or Cologne, where you're likely staying just a few nights. The hotels are handpicked, so you're not getting budget options — just better value on quality accommodation.

Family Travel That Actually Makes Sense

Eurostar's family pricing is refreshingly straightforward. Children aged 4-11 get 30% off peak tickets and up to 50% off off-peak fares when travelling with an adult. Kids under 4 travel completely free on your lap (maximum one infant per adult).

The sweet spot for family savings? Book those Tuesday and Wednesday departures we mentioned earlier — not only are the train tickets cheaper, but hotels at your destination typically offer lower rates on weekdays too.

Get Ahead with Early Booking

Eurostar releases tickets 6-8 months in advance, and the earlier you book, the better the fares. This is especially crucial for summer holidays and festive season travel to Christmas markets in Strasbourg, Cologne, or Brussels — these routes sell out quickly.

Christmas 2025 tickets are already available from £39, which is pretty remarkable for international rail travel. If you're planning ahead, booking months in advance gives you access to the lowest fare finder prices before they inevitably climb closer to travel dates.

Group Travel Perks

Travelling with 10 or more people? Eurostar offers special group rates when you book at least four months in advance. You can get everything from discounted fares to group meals and exclusive coach hires. It's perfect for corporate trips, family reunions, or friend groups planning European adventures.

Contact their dedicated group booking team for personalised quotes — they've got different phone numbers for each country, so you'll speak to someone who understands local requirements.

Flexible Tickets Worth the Upgrade

If your plans might change, Eurostar's flexible ticket options are genuinely useful. Standard and Plus tickets can be exchanged free of charge up to 1 hour before departure — you'll pay any fare difference, but there's no penalty fee. Premier tickets give you ultimate flexibility with exchanges and refunds up to 2 days after travel.

Cancellation Refunds

You can get money back up to 7 days before travel for a £25/€25 fee. The refund goes back to your original payment method — credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or e-voucher.

Delay Compensation

If you choose e-voucher compensation for delays, you can request 30% for 60-119 minute delays, 60% for 120-179 minute delays, or 75% for delays over 3 hours. It's a fair system that actually compensates you properly for the inconvenience.
