What Is a Certification Expiration Date?
An expiration date is the point at which a certification, accreditation or competency becomes invalid unless it has been renewed. Once a credential expires, it no longer counts toward a tier's requirements - so an expiration that passes unnoticed can pull a partner below the threshold that holds its tier, pricing and rebate eligibility.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Expiration is the moment risk becomes loss. Up to the expiration date a partner can still act; after it, the credential is gone and a certification gap may already have opened. Knowing every credential's expiration date across the team, and renewing ahead of it, is what keeps a partner's tier secure. Rebates-On surfaces every upcoming expiration before it bites.

The credential becomes invalid and stops counting toward tier requirements. If that drops the partner below what a tier needs, the tier - and its rebates - are at risk until the credential is renewed.
