An advance purchase discount is a discount provided to a guest for booking a stay at your property an 'x' amount of days in advance e.g. booking 90 days in advance for an Early bird deal.

This discount encourages early reservations. This helps you improve planning & forecasting, as you will have a better visibility of your future occupancy.
