Rate Codes vs. Rate Levels

• Rate codes are created to represent the types of
  product that a property has available. The rate
  code is usually 3 characters
• Rate levels allow the Associates to keep rate
  codes together. They can cluster a few of the
  rate codes together under one rate level.
• NON EPN lt 65 535
• EPN gt 65 535

Category Codes

• Since there is no limit on the number of rate
  codes that an Associate can create, the category
  codes are attached to the rate codes for Sabre
  users convenience when shopping for rates.
• The most common category codes are
• P Promotional
• W Weekend
• C Corporate
• N Negotiated
• X Contractual
• The Sabre users include the category codes in the
  shopping entry, and the TPF responds with rates
  as assigned by the Associate.

Negotiated and Contractual Rates
Client Negotiated Rates these are rate codes
representing an agreement between the Associate
and a specific corporation. The Negotiated Rates
are allocated to the category code - N e.g.
HOTDFW/12SEP-1NT1/RC-NMOT Agency Contractual
Rates these are rate codes agreed upon by the
Associate and the travel agency or consortium of
travel agencies. These rates can be used for all
agency's clients. The Contractual Rates are
allocated to the category code X e.g.
HOTDFW/12SEP-1NT1/RC-XOBZ
