How To - Rates - Use Weekend Rates on Non Weekend Days

Override the regular seasons to charge weekend rates if part of the guest's stay involves one weekend night plus a Thursday or Sunday. This feature is designed to require at least two weekend rates for stays that include a weekend night.

If the guest arrives on a Thursday for two nights, Thursday night would be considered a weekend rate. If arriving on Saturday, then Sunday is charged the weekend rate. If the guest stays both weekend (Friday and Saturday) nights, the Thursday and Sunday nights will be at the regular weekday rate.

To Configure the Use Weekend Rates Option:

In RDPWin, go to the System main menu --> Switches.
In the Search field, enter 421-25.
Set Switch 421-25 to Yes --> Save.
Make sure the Rate Sets being used included both weekend and weekday prices. For more information on rate prices, see Add Rate Sets.
