* If your property was activated into the Central Reservation System after May 1, 2016, the LDK rate code will not apply to your property. Reservations made on Orbitz.com are now powered via the Expedia booking platform. Therefore, there is no need to build out the LDK rate code in this instance since reservations will be delivered via the Expedia promotional rate codes. * The Expedia margin shown above (22%) is based upon the current agreement. If you have taken advantage of one of our negotiated margins (either 18% or 15%), and have returned all required paperwork, then a separate notice with the new Expedia rate codes and applicable margins will be sent to you upon the activation of the tier you have selected.
Please note: The above rate codes are re-‐used for all Brand-‐wide promotions. If already built out in your Property Management System (PMS), please update the derived percentage off BAR and adjust the minimum length of stay (LOS) to one night.
1. If utilizing a PMS with a two-‐way interface to the Global Central Reservation System – powered by Sabre, please build the corresponding rate codes in your PMS and then advise your Member Care Manager or Brand Support Representative so that we may update the mapping of your rate codes. 2. If you are participating in an extranet agreement with an OTA (such as Booking.com), please make sure that you provide them with the same promotional offer to maintain parity. Failure to do so may result in your property’s listing being pulled from their site. 3. If you are set up on a Booking.com XML direct connect, please make sure that you build the same promotional offer in the Booking.com extranet. Please advise your Member Care Manager or Brand Support Representative of the Booking.com promotional rate code so that we may update the mapping of your rate codes.
4. Blackout dates are permissible, but we ask that you please keep these to a minimum. Setting allotments is preferred rather than closing out the rate codes entirely. If you need assistance setting allotments, please contact your Member Care Manager or Brand Support Representative. 5. The promotional offer may also be extended to guests booking property direct. The promotional offer is not required to be booked online or voice center only. Please notify your front desk staff of offer details.
We look forward to this being another successful promotional campaign. Thank you for your participation!
