I think what many are missing about the value of Portal is the streamlining of process. Who wants to go to 3,4,6 different sites to order product when you can do it in one shot with Portal?

Yeah some vendors don't react as quickly as you want or even confirm the orders, but its a hell of a lot more efficient than the old way.

Oh and the rebate onto the Debit card.... Who doesn't want free money? At 5k a month in orders, you get $50 back, cash money. Not a credit to be used later, not some stupid rebate off an invoice that creates longer accounting time.
