Hi OwnerRez Team,

I'd like to submit a feature request to add discount stacking control for automatic discounts.

CURRENT SITUATION:
- Discount Codes have a "Remove all other discounts when this code is applied" option
- Standard automatic discounts (Early Bird, Length of Stay, Last Minute, Rate Adjustment) do NOT have this option
- Multiple automatic discounts always stack if criteria are met

THE PROBLEM:
I want to offer:
- Early Bird: 10% off for bookings 60+ days in advance 
- Weekly: 10% off for 7-28 night stays
- Monthly: 20% off for 29+ night stays

Currently, a 30-night stay booked 60+ days out receives 30% off (10% Early Bird + 20% Monthly), which is excessive and hurts profitability.

This stacking happens on:
- Vrbo channel bookings (Vrbo allows Early Bird + LOS stacking)
- Direct bookings through my website

REQUESTED FEATURE:
Add a checkbox option to Standard Discount Types:
☐ "Remove all other automatic discounts when this discount applies"
OR
☐ "Apply only the highest discount - do not stack with other automatic discounts"

OR Allow me to select a constraint on the Early Bird discount to apply it for reservations less than 7 days This would give us the same control for automatic discounts that already exists for Discount Codes. BUSINESS IMPACT: Without this feature, I must either accept excessive discount stacking or eliminate valuable discount types entirely, both of which negatively impact revenue. Thank you for considering this request!
