We are investigating offering a free Friday where no web fees would be charged to customers. We are wondering if anyone has ever tried something similar and just how it might be accomplished. We could do this using a promo code but we want it to be automatic for all customers who log in on that day and not require them to type in a code. Any ideas on how we could automatically turn off a fee for a day and back on after 24 hours?
That was our first thought or just deactivating the fee but they are thinking of doing this every week for an entire year.

We did this, but it was not automatic. We just unassociated the fee from Web MOS then reassociated it when promotion was over.
It worked fine, just wasn’t automatic.

You could schedule a job to run every Friday and Saturday at 12:01am that does something like:
Update t_fee set inactive = case datepart(WEEKDAY,getdate()) when 6 then 'Y' -- 6 = Friday else 'N' end where fee_no = <your fee no here>
Just be sure to turn this off when the promotion ends!
