FAQ - What is the difference between Cut-Off Dates and Cut-Off Days?
Cut-off Dates and Cut-off Days allow you to automatically release a block’s unreserved rooms back into inventory according to a specific date or a specific number of days ahead of the block's arrival.
Entering a Cut-off Date will release all rooms that have not been picked up for all of the block's dates back into the house inventory during the End of Day process on that date.
Entering a number of Cut-off Days provides a "rolling release" of rooms that have not been picked up back into the house inventory during the End of Day process. For example, if the number of Cut-off Days is seven, then seven days before the first arrival night, rooms not picked up are released; seven days before the second night, that night’s rooms are released, and so on. This rolling release option leaves block availability open longer to allow for last minute bookings.
Both Cut-off types can be set on all room types or for only specific room types, and can be set on specific date periods (such as core dates) or on specific days of the block (such as Tue, Wed, Thu).
