Sage Points is how Sage calculates how much discount you earn so you benefit as you grow. 

When you add a client tool through Manage Subscriptions, you'll automatically collect points. The more points you accumulate, the bigger your discounts and rewards. You can earn up to 25% across all subscriptions. 

You can earn Sage Points whether you add a single client tool at a time, or have a Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA). With a VPA, all of the Sage Points for all of the client tools you agree to buy are awarded to you from the first one you activate - meaning you can access your volume discount immediately, rather than having to build up your Points over time when purchasing one at a time.

A Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA) is a contract and commitment to a specific volume of client subscriptions. It allows you to purchase multiple subscriptions of Sage Accounting and unlock additional discounts from day one.

When you let us know how many subscriptions you want to buy and over what period (12 or 24 months), you'll receive a discount upfront from the very first subscription you activate. This means you only pay for the rest as and when you activate each client, giving you the best price.

You have flexibility with your Volume Purchase Agreement if you need to adjust the period or quantities of your subscriptions. For example, you can extend the duration of your VPA without losing your discount level.

You can also increase or decrease the subscription commit to meet your own needs and the needs of your clients. The discount level will automatically be adjusted accordingly.

To calculate your discount, you earn Points for each subscription you add. The number of Points earned depends on the type of subscription. You can refer to the Sage Points discount guide in our Product and Pricing Guide for full details. The discount is applied from the very first subscription you activate, providing immediate cost savings.

As for billing, when you sign up for Sage for Accountants (SFA), the day you sign up will be your billing date. Each time you add a subscription, your billing will be updated with the level of discount corresponding to the total commit volume.
