- Unique Promo URL (link): You build code and display Coupons on specific web pages (ie, not all Booking Engine requests need know you have a Coupon option). In this example, JavaScript sends a unique URL to each code validated, and an error if the correct code is not provided *note: use code: "jdav" ('base' rate) , "cdil"(-10% discount rate) , "tisb"(20% 'loaded' rate) in the 'Coupon' box and watch how rates vary when you make an entry. The Agent Allocation feature in BookingCenter allows you to deliver unique combinations of Rates, Packages or Rooms to each URL.
