It would be nice to be able to set up discounts for military, first responders, friends and family, etc, and have the discount apply only to the nightly rate.   My cleaning expenses, linen expenses, etc are fixed, and currently in this very weak month, my fixed costs are up to 1/2 of my total bill.  A 1 day rental when the nightly rate matches fixed rate fees given a 10% discount ends up being 20% off the nightly rate.    THERE is no simple workaround for this.  If they book 2 days it's an effective 15% off the nightly rate.  4 days 12.5%, etc.

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to exclude certain days.  weekends are easy to book. I'd love to offer discount on weekdays (Sunday-Th) only.  Therefore it would be nice to be able to have discount applied or not by calendar dates.

Alece see this previous Forum Post where Ken suggests a workaround for adding a code as a % of rent.

There's a workaround for this case: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/discount-codes#position -- use percent of subtotal and configure positioning to make sure the discount comes before surcharges so that it only applies to rent.
