NEW YORK, Sept. 5 — Booking a seven-night all-inclusive getaway with flights attached may come down to which website a traveler chooses, according to a new guide from a major credit card and travel rewards site. In a like-for-like comparison of package prices, Funjet Vacations and Kayak returned the lowest rates for the 2026 planning season.
The guide, authored by Katie Corrigan Seemann, the site’s Travel Partnerships Manager and Podcast Co-Host, and edited by Jessica Merritt, a Certified Financial Education Instructor and Senior Editor, with compliance review by Ben Neighbors-Giles, ranks ten platforms. It compares CheapCaribbean.com, Apple Vacations, Expedia, Funjet Vacations, Orbitz, CheapTickets, Kayak, American Airlines Vacations, Delta Vacations, and United Vacations.
At its heart, the guide’s advice is simple: booking flights and hotels together as a package is often cheaper than reserving each component separately. Kayak, notably, does not handle bookings directly—it operates as a metasearch engine, comparing prices across multiple sites before a traveler commits. Loyalty programs differ sharply across the field.
Expedia participates in the One Key Rewards program, while Orbitz runs its own Orbucks Rewards. American Airlines Vacations, Delta Vacations, and United Vacations each allow travelers to earn and redeem miles on all-inclusive packages.
The guide’s comparison table charts which sites book directly, which offer loyalty programs or price-match guarantees, and which let customers earn miles or points. The details matter for those involved. American Airlines Vacations books directly with AAdvantage miles but offers no price match.
Apple Vacations books directly with a 24-hour price match but no loyalty program. CheapCaribbean.com books directly with a 48-hour price match. CheapTickets books directly with CheapCash and price protection up to the day of departure.
Delta Vacations books directly with Delta SkyMiles. Expedia books directly with One Key, though its price-match policy is not officially disclosed.
Funjet Vacations books directly with a 24-hour price match. Orbitz books directly with Orbitz Rewards and a 24-hour price match. United Vacations books directly with MileagePlus and offers a same-day price match.
CheapCaribbean.com earns a spotlight for its filtering tools, which let users narrow results to show only all-inclusive resorts. Its Budget Beach Finder tool searches all destinations and dates at once, with options for flexible dates—any month or combination of months plus any number of nights—or specific dates showing a pricing calendar.
Listings may include extras such as resort credit or airport transfers that add value without raising cost, while items not included, like trip insurance or excursions, appear as options before checkout. The guide includes a side-by-side price comparison across the sites and a breakdown of each platform’s key features, loyalty programs, and filtering tools.
It also carries an advertiser disclosure noting the site may receive financial compensation from credit card companies when customers click links, when applications are approved, or when accounts are opened—and that the site does not include all credit card companies or all available offers. For travelers weighing a winter escape, the takeaway is to compare package prices directly against one another before loyalty perks enter the equation.
The lowest upfront rate, the guide suggests, may come from Funjet or Kayak—but the right fit depends on whether miles, price matching, or flexible filters matter most.
