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!

Hey Laura,
Vrbo shouldn't be stacking Standard Early Bird and Length of Stay discounts. If this is still an issue for you, please write our Helpdesk at help@ownerrez.com and reference this forum post so that we can take a closer look.
As of today's release, Early Bird, Last Minute, and Length of Stay discounts no longer stack with each other on direct bookings. Only the deepest discount applies (matching Airbnb and Vrbo behavior). Complex discounts and rate adjustments continue to stack as before. When multiple standard discounts have equal percentages offered, Length of Stay takes priority, then Last Minute, then Early Bird.
Do this mean having all enabled for the same time will not create issues? For example a late booking discount creates an issue where it does not show the length of stay discount in the price shown. I have a length of stay and I’ve had to disable last minute because it was causing the strike though and price feature to not show in the pricing banner
