Release 236

RC236 released to Production

Summary

These updates are live in Preview as of: September 2nd, 2026

Planned release date to Production: Evening of September 9th, 2026

Agent Post-Checkout Experience Change
- Agents will now be taken directly to the View Booking screen in the Agent Console after completing checkout, rather than being taken to the confirmation page and having to navigate to View Booking to perform any follow-up actions.
Manual Booking Sheets v2
- Activity Start Location now required in MBS Activity v2
- Final Payment behavior in MBS v2 has been simplified to no longer strictly enforce a single Final Payment existing. It also no longer forces the final payment record to match the Balance Due, instead only autopopulating it on demand.
Bug: Agent Booking Search fixes
- Agent Booking Search should no longer show duplicate bookings in search results.
- Helpdesk/Zendesk Tickets: 1302851
Bug: Service Fee Display on Quote and Cart
- Service Fee amount was not showing up on a shared cart/quote from an agent to a consumer on the cart or checkout page. This has been fixed to display as expected.
- Helpdesk/Zendesk Tickets: 1412835
Bug: Agent Subsite context lost
- Shared Agent Subsite link did not successfully set the Agent Subsite context for the consumer, so the agent didn’t get the credit for the booking. This has been fixed.
- Helpdesk/Zendesk Tickets: 1352811, 1359304, 1372575

Form of Payment for Held Bookings
- Form of payment can now be stored when a held booking is ticketed, including when the agent enters a new card at the time of ticketing. This provides the payment information needed for downstream servicing such as exchanges and refunds.
- This feature is enabled club-by-club. Contact TST to have it enabled for your licensee.
- Billing address support is still in development and is not included in this release.
Bug: Failed Bookings “Change Flight” Link
- Failed booking messages now display a working Change Flight link instead of a raw URL. Agents can also reference the booking audit messages for additional details about the failure.
Bug: Divided PNR Imports
- Divided PNRs will no longer fail to import when Sabre returns a ticket without associated payment details.
Bug: Seated Infant Bookings
- When an airline does not return a dedicated seated-infant fare, TST will now use an adult fare so the child is booked with their own seat as selected by the agent.
The Parking Spot Confirmation Email Offer
- The Parking Spot promotion has been restored to air booking confirmation emails for consumers and agents.
- Where available, the offer displays below baggage details and includes the AAA-specific promotional link. Confirmation emails continue to send normally when an offer is not available for a particular airport.

New Checkout for Consumer Hotel and Car
- Analytics systems tracking page views on /cart will need to be updated to also track page views on /checkout. This /checkout starting path indicates a user experiencing the new checkout flow for Hotel and Car.

Manual Booking v2 Travel Types
- Manual Booking v2 entries for <manual_travel_type> now specify tours as “Guided Tour” instead of simply “Tour” to match v1 Other Sub-type language.

Bug: Manual Transmission Icon
- The manual transmission indicator is now displaying correctly on car search results.
Car Search Results Reliability
- Car search now better handles bot-protection challenges that could previously result in a broken results page or an “Unexpected end of JSON input” error.
- Search will retry when appropriate and display the standard error and retry experience if results still cannot be loaded.
Updated Hertz Branding
- Hertz branding on the car search landing page has been updated with the latest approved assets.

Hotel and Car checkout
- After a successful AB test with significance, we have a winning “new checkout” for consumer hotel and car. We will be launching this version to 100% with the next release.
- See Analytics section for updates related to this rollout.
New Email Formats
- Parks and Prepack Confirmation Emails will now be in the new email format/layout starting with this release.
New Email Domain
- To address some issues with email delivery, we will be slowly migrating our outgoing emails to be transmitted from a new domain. Instead of @tstllc.net emails will slowly be moved to come from @mail.tstllc.net.
- This change will not be going live immediately, but will be slowly rolled out and ramped up over the next several weeks as we review the results.

Multi-room bookings
- Hotel multi-room is in preview still. We’ve addressed known feedback and done extensive testing. In rc237 (the next RC), we will be launching. This is a notice to check in preview. If you have any feedback please let us know.
Updated hotel results cards
- AB test currently in flight with new hotel results cards, showing larger images, larger font, bigger price info, and larger AAA Diamond
Updated hotel filters
- Planned AB test with the next release for enhanced UI of the hotel filters, with mobile first filters and consistent design system changes.
- Does not include any behavior changes or new types of filters

Second Chance Emails
- Shared Allianz Trip Protection Quotes to your users will now have a second chance follow-up email sent 7 days after the initial email if the trip still qualifies to have Trip Protection added/purchased.
Bug: Allianz Agent Contact Information
- Selling Agent contact information was not being included on API calls to Allianz for Modifications and Cancellation from the TST system. That information is now sent so that notices can be sent to the agent as well as the traveler.

Member First deep links direct to the hotel page
- Deep links generated for specific properties now go directly to the hotel details page where members see that exact property and promotion, and can change dates and airport on this page instead of the results page
