As another year comes to an end, we wanted to take a moment to wish you a great 2017!

And, take some time to highlight a few of the major enhancements made this year.

If you haven't had a chance to try all of the new features and functions added in 2016, we have put together a list of highlights with links to step-by-step instructions below. Let us know if you have any questions, we would be happy to help. We look forward to an exciting 2017 with more enhancements, integrations, features, tutorials and webinars!

New! Rate Management Tools

As a BookingCenter customer, you have access to automated Rate Management tools already built in your PMS system. You can easily make % or $ adjustments to multiple rates at the same time using Manage Multiple Rates or quickly change a daily rate using on the Dynamic Rate Grid.

Looking for an automated rate management tool?

The Yield Management module is a powerful tool that gives you the ability to automatically change rates based on key factors like occupancy, date range and competitor's rates. In addition, Booking.com/ BookingSuite customers can now integrate Rate Intelligence/Rate Manager Tools.

To learn more, watch our last webinar "Maximize Revenue with Rate Managment Tools"

Important Update! Credit Card Retention Policy

In order to increase security on credit card data, we have implemented a Credit Card Retention Policy for Credit Card Numbers stored in Bookings. What this means is that Credit Card numbers will be retained for a period of 30, 60 or 90 Days after guest check-out and then automatically purged from the system after the designated retention period. The retention period (30 -90 days) depends on the setting you choose in MyPMS. Note: The last four digits of the Card Card # used for payment in the booking will be retained. For instructions, see General Settings.
