How do flexible dates and weekend stays work?

A flexible monitor watches a date window, not fixed dates. Flexible monitors are a Pro feature.

Window and stay length

You choose a date window and a stay length.

The stay length is 1 to 14 nights.

Night modes

  • Any night: any check-in date in the window.
  • Specific days: you pick the check-in weekdays.
  • Weekend stays: you pick weekend patterns.

You cannot combine specific days and weekend stays.

Weekend patterns

The patterns are Thu to Sat, Thu to Sun, Fri to Sun, Fri to Mon and Sat to Mon.

You can pick up to 5. The default is Thu to Sun, Fri to Sun and Fri to Mon.

Alerts per night

With a target set, each check-in date that goes under the target alerts once. If the date closes or rises above the target, it can alert again when it comes back.

When a flexible monitor ends

A flexible monitor stops after its whole window passes.

You get a recap email if the monitor had any checks.
