I have had a request from one of my clients and I'm going round in circles with the pricing.

They want a sat-sat price and a Mon-Fri price, this of course varies several times a year.

Any suggestions how I do it?

I tried Spot rates with the check in day having the whole price on it but it won't accept £0 for any of the other days.

Hey James,

This wouldn't be configurable within rates, but you might be able to accomplish what you're looking for using Length of Stay (LOS) discounts with criteria that only apply the discount to certain days of the week for arrival and / or departure. Airbnb gets a bit particular when it comes to what discount criteria they'll allow though, and I don't believe they'll accept a LOS discount with specific days of the week applied. It may work for direct bookings and Vrbo though.

And Airbnb's discount specifications here - https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/channel-management-api-integrations-airbnb-discounts

When creating discounts, it's always good to check them using the Channel Rate Tester to see if they're working as intended.
