'''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily Prices'''
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.
Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Expedia.com rate plan id.
This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Expedia.com.
To define the Expedia.com rate plan id for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons.
For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:
'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for Expedia.com leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon.For example '''Method 2 using Offers or Daily Prices:22222:33333:44444'''
