Yes M, I believe that a 4 times a month is now possible, but information on this has been extremely scarce. I have since opted in for this, but what does it mean? 4 times a month in the same month of the actual stay of the guests, or also the following month? Do we have to pay even more commission for this option?
This is the same as in the extra 2,1% for payments by BDC. Not a lot of info was given from the get-go. (Will the extra percentage be taken from the total booking amount? Will local taxes be added?) It's all very vague.
Another thing BDC needs to remember is that most establishments will ultimately pass this extra fee to the guest. This is a fee that most booking platforms do not add. Thus making the room charge more expensive on BDC in comparison to other booking sites. If guests start shopping around, which is really easy nowadays, BDC will ultimately start loosing out on commission.
Totally agreed Amanda. I am not sure how they are getting away with it? What I find even more annoying is that guests sometimes check in on let's say the 28th of August, and then check out on the 1st of September. This means you only get paid out mid-October. Boggles my mind...
