What Is Eligibility in Rebate Programs?
Eligibility is the set of rules that determines what qualifies for a rebate - which partners (by tier or certification), which products (eligible SKUs), and which transactions (qualifying sales) count toward earning it. Activity that falls outside the eligibility rules simply doesn't contribute, even if it looks like it should.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Eligibility quietly decides how much rebate a partner actually earns. A lapsed certification, an ineligible SKU mix or a transaction type that doesn't qualify can shrink a rebate without the partner realizing why. Knowing each program's eligibility rules is what lets a partner steer activity toward what counts.
