As a new year approaches, it’s important to review how your rates are configured so they continue working correctly without interruptions.
In most cases, no action is required — but this depends on how your rates are set up.
Recommended: Rates Set to All Year
If your rate is configured as All Year, you do not need to update anything for the new year.
All-year rates automatically roll over
Dates do not expire
No manual updates are required on January 1st
This is the recommended setup for most operators, as it avoids yearly maintenance and prevents accidental gaps in availability.
⚠️ Rates with Custom Date Ranges
If your rate uses custom start and end dates, you must update those dates manually for the new year.
For example:
A rate ending on December 31st will stop applying once the year ends
You’ll need to extend or replace the date range for the upcoming year
🚨 Important Date Rule (Very Important)
January 1st and December 31st are considered special system dates in Birrdi.
Because of this:
❌ Do not select January 1st as a start date
❌ Do not select December 31st as an end date
Doing so can prevent the rate from applying correctly.
✅ What to Do Instead
You have two safe options:
Option 1 (Recommended)
Use All Year instead of custom dates.
Option 2 (If You Need Custom Dates)
Adjust your date range as follows:
Start date: After Jan 1
End date: Before December 31
This avoids the system-reserved dates.
Summary
✅ All-year rates automatically roll over (no action needed)
⚠️ Custom-dated rates must be updated manually
🚫 Avoid January 1st and December 31st
👍 Use All Year whenever possible to reduce maintenance
If you’re unsure which rates are affected, reviewing your rate date settings before the new year is highly recommended.
