What Is a Certification Renewal Date?
A renewal date is the deadline by which a certification, accreditation or competency must be renewed to remain valid. Vendors require recertification on a cycle, and the renewal date is the point at which a credential must be refreshed - miss it and the credential lapses, taking with it the tier eligibility and rebates that depended on it.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Renewal dates are scattered across people, vendors and portals, and they arrive quietly. A single missed renewal can drop a partner below a tier requirement and cut its rebate rate, for a loss far larger than the renewal exam. Tracking every renewal date in one place, with alerts before each one, is how a partner keeps its credentials - and earnings - intact. Rebates-On does exactly that.
