We have enhanced the promo code feature available in STAAH Instant. You will find a better flow to improve user experience but more importantly, additional features to make it easier to use and manage promo deals.

What is new?

  • Corporate Channel no longer required which means, no mapping required
  • You can select and link specific rate plan(s) to a promo code
  • You can choose and opt to extend Smart Pricing Rate (If rate is lower)
  • You can set up promo discount to apply for the first night only
  • You can apply validity – booking dates and stay dates
  • You can specify which day of week promo code is applicable/ available
  • You can set blackout dates

For existing promo codes, no action required. We will simply migrate to the new feature based on current set up
