Do you cap membership size?

@zsr5 Membership isn't capped; the strength of the user base is one of the things that allows us to negotiate the discounts with hotels. We're currently at 19m members worldwide.
Is the inventory procured through an online wholesaler / bedbank or directly through a gds or from the properties themselves? I've always stayed away from wholesaler rates because they exempt you from any elite benefits or point accruals (eg SPG at the Le Meridien Philadelphia which I saw on the list)
@ngoel36 Hotels are almost entirely from the hotels themselves rather than a GDS or similar. And at prices way below that which you'd find on the hotel's own site
