Apply Credit Card Rebate to a Reservation

00:04

In this video you will learn how to apply a credit card rebate to a

00:09

reservation. Let's get started. In OPERA Cloud go to front desk and then

00:16

select in-house. To search for the reservation I must select a property. I

00:22

select the property from the list and then click select.

00:34

Next click search. I'll click the confirmation number to go to the

00:39

reservation. First I'll click the payment instructions to confirm a credit card

00:45

as a payment method is set up for this reservation. Here I can see the credit

00:51

card payment method for each window.

00:58

Next I'll scroll up to the top of the reservation and click the I want to menu.

01:06

And then click billing. At the top of the billing screen click post payment.

01:13

Now select the window to apply the rebate. In this example, I select window 3.

01:22

You can see the credit card payment method applies to this window. In the

01:27

amount field I enter the rebate amount as a negative number. For example, I enter

01:32

negative $20. Next I must enter a value in the reference field that's a minimum

01:39

of 6 alpha or numeric characters. In this example, I enter rebate.

01:47

I can check the override debit activity to process rebate checkbox. If you do not

01:55

check this option, and it's configured, OPERA validates if the debit or credit

01:59

card was previously charged for this guest and it validates if the sum of the

02:05

previous amounts charge was greater than or equal to the amount of the rebate. To

02:10

override this validation, check this box. Next click apply payment. If a

02:19

chip-and-pin terminal is configured then you can select the terminal to process

02:23

the transaction. In this example, I click to select the terminal labeled

02:28

front-desk left. Then click select terminal.
