About Master and Sub Blocks

Prerequisites for Master and Sub Blocks

Master Blocks and Sub Blocks have a variety of uses.
  • You can split sleeping rooms of one group across different properties within a hub using a master and sub block booking structure.
  • You could use sub blocks when a room type has different rate amounts for different quantities of rooms (Example: 10 King rooms at the staff rate of $99.00 and 100 king rooms at convention rate of $200.00).
