You can assign varying discount overrides to a single promotion based on the length of stay of a lodging item on an itinerary. You can apply as many overrides to a discount as you want.

Tiered rate discounts can be useful if you want to add a graduated discount to a product.

For example, you can add a discount of 5% off a lodging product with a minimum stay of two nights. To encourage guests to stay longer, you can offer a 10% discount for staying three nights and then a 15% discount for staying five nights, and so on.

For the Tiered Rate Overrides row to appear, you must configure a minimum stay on the initial discount setup. That minimum can be set to "1" or something longer if applicable.
