What Is a Program Anniversary Date?
An anniversary date is the annual point at which a vendor reviews a partner's program standing - checking certifications, certified-staff counts and revenue against tier requirements, and confirming or adjusting the partner's tier for the next program year. It is the recurring deadline by which a partner must be compliant to retain its level.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. The anniversary date is when accumulated drift gets settled. A certification that lapsed mid-year or a target that fell short may not bite until the anniversary review resets the tier. Knowing each vendor's anniversary date lets a partner close gaps in advance rather than discover a demotion after the fact. Rebates-On tracks each review date against the requirements it checks.
