Promotion features
The mobile discount is available to all guests who book from mobile devices.
This discount is not cumulative with other offers. If you have set up several discounts, a guest will get the most profitable one.
In the Booking Engine, the discount is shown as a crossed out price.
If a guest changes contact details in a confirmed booking (name, email and phone number), the discount will be saved.
In case a guest changes dates of stay, room type or rate plan from a mobile device and meets all criteria for the discount, the new price will also be discounted.
When a booking is edited by the property staff in the Exely extranet in “Reports” > “Bookings” or in the Front Desk, the discount is saved. The property can delete the discount or change it.
