Manage Restrictions for Child Rates

All changes to Child Rate Plan Restrictions are made in SETUP | RATE | MANAGE RATES after a Child Rate Plan is created.

To change the restrictions for Child Rate Plans, the "Manage Restrictions" box must be checked. If this box is not checked, then the Child Rates will not appear in the drop-down list.

Each Rate Plan is assigned it's own Restrictions and can be adjusted for one Rate Plan or for multiple Rate Plans at the same time.

  • If you choose one Rate Plan, then the restrictions will change for only the rate plan selected.
  • If you choose multiple Rate Plans, then the restrictions will change for all of the rates selected.

 

Section

Depending on the changes you need to make, use one of the these methods to change the Child Rate Plan restrictions. Read below for an overview of Manage Restrictions.

  1. Single Rate Restrictions Change restrictions for a Single Rate Plan, unless selected for a multiple rate change.
  2. Multiple Rate Restrictions: Change restrictions for multiple Rate Plans at the same time

There are four settings for Child Rate Restrictions:

  • MIN LOS (Minimum Length of Stay): Requires a minimum stay for any booking arriving on the date chosen. I.e. 2 night MIN LOS on a Friday would require any booking made with an arrival date of Friday to stay 2 nights.
  • MAX LOS (Maximum Length of Stay): Requires a maximum stay for any booking arriving on the date chosen. I.e. 4 night MAX LOS on a Sunday would require any booking made with an arrival date of Sunday to limit the stay to 4 nights.
  • Arrivals: CTA (Closed to Arrival). If this box is checked, then the rate plan will be unavailable for bookings with this arrival date. I.e. Saturday is checked. A guest making a booking will not be able to choose Saturday as an arrival date.
  • Closed (Closed to Bookings): If this box is checked, then the rate plan will be closed for making bookings.  I.e. if Sunday is checked, then a guest will not be able to make a booking on this date.

Please note the difference between using "Arrivals" and "Closed".

"Arrivals" effectively closes the Rate Plan and makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable to arrival on your website, GDS and Front desk.

"Closed" makes any Room Type it is assigned to unavailable for bookings on your website, GDS and Front desk.

A screen will automatically appear with the Rate Plan Information in the Date Range chosen, starting with the day of the week that the "Begins on" date falls on.


Manage Rate Plan Restrictions

Enter any changes to your Restrictions. Put a check mark in the "Save" box next to the line items you are changing and uncheck (leave blank) the line items you are not changing. Make your changes and click Save in the bottom right. 

if you want to change rates for another Rate Plan during the same date range selected, then just go to the "Choose Rate" drop-down menu and click "Update Rates". The screen will change to display the selected Rate Plan which is shown in the blue box at the bottom of the grid.

Restrictions:

  • Minimum Stay: Enter the Minimum days of the stay. For example, if you require a 2 night stay over the weekend, enter 2 in Friday and Sat.

  • Maximum Stay: Enter a maximum stay if applicable.

  • Closed to Arrival: Check the closed box if this rate is NOT available on that particular day. For example, you have a special rate for the month of July, but you do not want it available on Sat.
