Daily Rates:
Once this table is correct, press submit and you will be returned to the Rate Plan page. Continue this process for all seasons you would like the rate available
Weekly Rates:
BookingCenter has a feature that allows one to make a weekly rates a different daily price than a 'daily' rate. For example, if one has a $100 price for Tuesday when booking for less than 7 days, it might be sold for $90 on Tuesday when booking for a week (stay of equal to or greater than 7 days). When rates are setup, customers often decide to 'skip' placing in weekly rates, then you notice that BookingCenter will return a $0 price when the query is for a week or longer. Thus, skipping the weekly rates is not a good idea. If you have no difference between daily and weekly prices, then simply place the same value in the the daily field for both the 'Daily Rates' section and the 'Weekly Rates' sections.
