Total Override Discount

Set up a Total Override Discount in RMS to cap a defined number of nights at a fixed total amount.

Overview

Total Override Discounts let you create promotions where a set number of nights in the stay are capped at a total amount (for example, Stay 5 nights for $500 total).

How it works:

Specify the number of nights and the total charge to cap.
RMS applies a per-night discount across the selected nights so the total equals the value entered, effectively levelling nightly rates across the period to honour the total.
You can set an optional cap on the maximum number of Adults and/or Children the discount applies to.

The total charge you enter covers the Base Rate, including Dynamic Pricing, Derived Rate adjustments and Control Panel Rate Adjustments. Additionals are included only when Include Additionals In Calculation is selected. Packages are charged on top of the total.

Please Note! RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
