Allowances - Allow floating per stay allowance credit that can be used throughout the stay
Under Canvas has requested this as well.
Under Canvas -All locations are interested in this for F&B credit.
Davidson Hospitality would also like this functionality
The Fontaine Hotel need this feature as well
Cedar Court requesting this as well: they explained their desire for flexible allowances applicable across multiple charge codes (e.g., food and beverage), allowing for carry-over between days within a stay. They cited a need to accommodate various package offerings, offering flexibility for guest spending while maintaining control over allocated funds.
Essex Resort & Spa is also looking for this - and it is imperative for them that this coincides with an enhancement to allow for the consumption of charge codes with varying tax configurations for resort credits.
Bunk Hotel Amsterdam/Utrecht is requesting this feature enhancement too.

Charlestowne is also looking for this functionality
EOS Hospitality (Red Jacket Resorts and Kennebunkport Resort Collection) are looking forward to this feature.
They will use it for their consortia agreements where they must offer a $100 floating credit per stay.
Ideally, for an include in price allowance, they would like the amount backed out of the rate during EOD to reflect the usage; so, if there was a $100 credit and only $80 was used, they would like only $80 to be backed out of the rate. However, if this is not possible, they think that splitting the price and deducting across all nights of the stay is ideal. They understand that if a guest checks out early, some sort of adjustment would have to be made.
Example from RBH: Example of a package from another hotel, guest’s get £50 per day to use on food, beverage, accommodation or car parking, this is built as a floating package allowance which absorbs into the booking up the set allowance and only overages will show on the guest bill
Springboard Hospitality is also interested in seeing this for F&B packages with a credit that can be used at any point during the stay (arrival through departure) for Anvil Hotel as well as their other hotels on Stayntouch Cloud PMS.
The Maven at Dairy Block would also like to see this feature - they need it for floating F&B credits.
Main Street Hospitality is also interested in seeing this for their Spa packages at Canoe Place Inn.
PUBLIC Hotels is looking forward to seeing this in the future - they will use it for their AMEX packages that include a $100 credit that can be applied towards anything at the hotel.

Hotels utilizing the allowance feature have expressed a desire to have floating allowances that are offered on a per-stay basis no matter how many nights the reservation is for.
With this, an allowance could be added to a reservation and it would allow the consumable charges to be consumed at any point during the stay rather than on the first night, nightly, or every week.
This would be very useful because many hotels offer package add-ons in this fashion for higher end travel agencies like Fine Hotels & Resorts, Virtuoso, etc. They also would like to use these on their own websites, etc. to drive direct bookings.
