I am currently unable to discount a quote that comes from the VRBO platform. This would be a nice feature since the API department at VRBO does not work on weekends which is when most of my requests come in.

Yes, we're aware of this limitation, and are working with Vrbo to develop a way to generate custom quotes that works with their API. This is a bigger task than you might suppose and requires work at both ends, so may take a bit longer, but is very much on the roadmap.

Yes, this is an important function we need too!

Why would you? counter intuitive. They pay substantial service fee to vrbo. They could just google your property and book direct without the service fee- that would be their discount. Personally I never discount on the OTA. in fact, I mark my rates up./
