What Is a Co-op Claim?
A co-op claim is the submission a channel partner files to be reimbursed against its accrued co-op balance after running an eligible marketing activity. Because co-op is already earned from past sales, the claim draws down a banked amount - but it still requires proof of performance and must land before the funds expire.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Partners often assume accrued co-op is safe and claim it late, or never. The balance you've earned only becomes cash once a valid claim is filed and approved within the program window. Without a running view of accrued versus claimed across all vendors, banked co-op quietly expires.

It depends on the vendor - co-op is earned, but many programs still require an approved activity and proof of performance before reimbursing.
