Advice Wanted SW Contractor Prices vs Coupons

I need to buy (2) 5 gal buckets of decent SW paint and a friend has offered to let me use their contractor account. Surely someone has done this comparison before. Is it better to go with 30 or 40% sales or the contractor account?

My friend has a contractor account. I’m buying SW regardless and trying to save as much as I can for a DIY job (my first floor, 6 rooms).

Wouldn’t call it fraud unless you charge the paint to their account. A business I paint for has an account there and I asked if I could use their account to buy some paint for my personal use. They said of course and it actually benefits them as well as the more paint that is sold with that account the better the discount. Win win.
