What It Costs You
Same price as going direct. Then some of it comes back.
You buy what you were already going to buy, at the supplier's price. SpearPoint is compensated through regulated distribution, at standard rates, fully disclosed, and your price does not move. Through SPEND, a defined share of that returns to you.
