I don't know whether or not there can be multiple reasons for unavailability and what should happen if there are, but this might be an idea:

DataRow row = new DataRow();
         string availability = "";
         Boolean isRedemptionValid = row.Field<Boolean>("IsRedemptionValid"),
                           isDateValid = row.Field<Boolean>("IsDateValid"),
                           isTimeValid = row.Field<Boolean>("IsTimeValid"),
                           isDowValid = row.Field<Boolean>("IsDowValid");

         if (isRedemptionValid && isDateValid && isTimeValid && isDowValid)
         {
            availability = "Available for Redemption";
         }
         else
         {
            if (!isRedemptionValid)
            {
               availability += "Not enough number of uses";
            }
            if (!isDateValid)
            {
               availability += "Not available in the date range";
            }
            if (!isTimeValid)
            {
               availability += "Not available in the time range";
            }
            if (!isDowValid)
            {
               availability += "Not available on that day of the week";
            }
         }
