Hello All!
I am testing beds24 and I have some issues with the Yield Optimizer, which would be a great tool for our price structure.
The thing is that if I have these complex rules:
The system will multiply overlapping rules, as per Wiki "Multiple rules can apply at the same time and the percentage changes will be multiplied together. i.e. two rules, 120% and 150% triggering will adjust the price by 180%."
What I would like to do is to link the rule to an exact number of rooms available, no more, no less, but the only option here is apparently only NUMBER OF ROOMS or MORE/or LESS
Is there a workaround for this? Am I missing something? Why is not possible to link a rule to an exact number of rooms and is it a feature maybe worth to add?
Thanks!

The rules do not work on an exact number of rooms.
You would need to set the percentage discount for each additional free room to the incremental discount so when they all multiply together you get the desired result.

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, they don't work on an exact number of rooms, but maybe is it easy and useful to add it as a feature? It would also be nice if we could go over the 30 days
Can you make me an example, based on the data you see in the picture, on how should I proceed to have the desired results?
Thanks again!

Another vote to remove the 30 day limit! For me, I would like the rules to be applied always, not just within the 30 days window.

Yes please remove the limit of 30days.
I do not see the reason for that limitation.
Can you explain at least why there is this limitation?
Also
The way the rules work now, by multiplying one another, is strange to comprehend and adjust.
Why can't rule apply just for certain days? for example, the rule is valid from 6th to 20th day from today. Another rule is valid from 2nd day to 6th day.
Why every rule has to start from "the first day" till some day in your 30days limit?
Why not use yield optimizer for a "first-minute" bookings for periods few months in advance?
You made a great thing with this yield optimizer and then put some restrictions that do not make much sense.

The yield optimizer is designed for short-term optimisation.

And why not use it for first-minute reservations?
Is there any reason why you keep the restriction on 30days?

Yield optimizer could also be used for early bird bookings if could be extended to 365 days.
