Negotiated rate cards look good on paper but actual booked rates often higher in peak season. Dynamic inventory ke against kaise protect kar rahe ho?

Peak blackout dates in the rate card — otherwise hotels ignore negotiated rates.

Dynamic rates kill static cards. We moved to chain-level discounts + audit samples.
