Pegasus CRS Smart Policies allows you to offer alternative policies to your guests for a discount or premium.  Smart Policies also allow you to override existing policies on dates you specify which are commonly used for special event/high demand dates. 

Note: You must have general property policies in place before creating smart policies.

Smart policies can be of two types:

• Alternative - The Alternative Smart Policy feature allows you to offer alternatives to the general cancellation policies. Guests can choose from the alternatives offered to them; you can add up to two alternative policies for your guests to choose from. For example, you can give a guest an alternative policy that offers two alternates: get a discounted price for early-bird reservation that are non-cancellable, or choose a premium rate plan that allows for cancellation up to three hours before check-in time.
• Exceptional - The Exceptional Smart Policy feature allows you to apply restrictions to general policies on certain days of the year. For example, you can create an exceptional policy specifically applicable during Christmas time. The Smart Policy thus created overrides the default Property Guarantee/Cancellation Policy.

Note: The start and end dates refer to the dates during which the guest will stay at the property.

• Select the Policy from the drop-down list. This policy will be applicable during the selected period instead of the default policy.
