Yes. Established Australian OTA since 2013 operating in the US, UK, Singapore, and multiple other markets. Packages are backed by supplier contracts with named partners including Sandals, Karisma, Hyatt, Marriott, Accor, and Royal Caribbean. US inventory depth is smaller than Expedia Vacations but the curated flash-sale model means less noise and more bundled perks per package.

LuxPlus+ is the paid membership tier with member-exclusive rates 5 to 15 percent below public LE pricing, daily resort credit on select stays, triple status credits, and 24 to 48-hour early access to flash sales. Verify current US annual fees on the LuxPlus+ page. Break-even typically hits at two package trips per year; free membership tier is usually enough for occasional bookers. Stack the member rate with ShopBack cashback on the base package price via the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page.

Packages appear for 24-hour to 2-week windows with 20 to 100 room-nights per property allocated. Once sold out, gone until the next re-listing cycle (4 to 8 weeks later, sometimes never). Some packages allow flexible date selection within a broader window; others fix specific dates. January Trip Fair, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Black Friday November 27, Cyber Monday November 30, 12.12 December, and End-of-Year December 26 are the tentpole windows. Route via the ShopBack Luxury Escapes merchant page immediately before checkout so cashback attribution locks to the same browser session.

Three typical tiers. Non-refundable flash-sale (sale-final, sometimes 10 to 20 percent service-fee date-change credit if requested more than 90 days out).

Flexible cancellation (full refund up to 14 or 7 days, priced 10 to 25 percent above equivalent non-refundable). All terms show at checkout. ShopBack cashback on cancelled bookings reverses at the same time the refund is processed.
