Currently, we have a 2 day minimum before arrival for all of our guests. We need that window to prepare our properties and we don't take last minute bookings. However, our owners can book themselves on the owner portal and come pretty much anytime. Even the same day, which is nearly impossible during our busy seasons. I'd like to able to have the same 2 day minimum for the owner blocks.

To make this task easier I know I would benefit from the following 2 upgrades to defining discounts.

Hello all,
A 20% last minute discount has been applied to a Vrbo booking for August 2025. The reservation was made in June 2024.
The discount should apply when the following condition is complied with: "Arrival Days From Now is Less than or Equal To 60 Days"
At present, the discount has been disabled but I am not sure if it was in June 2024.

Thanks for the timely response! If you're working on it, I can tolerate it.
But since you asked what else could be fixed:
(1) Ability to resize the panels
(2) When opening the inbox, the main panel should show the latest message, not a blank screen (maybe this is just my preference)
(3) Filtering is great (thank you!) but it would be nice to have a search function.
Thanks!
