Partner Discount Schemes
Approved SimplerCloud Partners can choose to be enrolled in either of the following:
- Credit Bonus
- Quarterly Rebate
What is Partner Credit Bonus?
Partners under this discount scheme get a fixed upfront credit when they top up a qualifying amount of credit to their account. As credits can be used to purchase any service or pay for any outstanding invoices, the Partner Credit Bonus is the equivalent of getting 11% or more off valid SimplerCloud services. The Qualifying Amount varies according to the Rebate Schedule – refer to the latest Rebate Schedule for the current details.
Dedicated Servers, Co-Location and related managed hardware or system administration services associated with dedicated and co-location services are excluded from this scheme and have separate discounts.
What is Partner Quarterly Rebate?
Note: Partner Quarterly Rebates have been discontinued
Partners under this discount scheme will get a rebate of approximately 10% credited to their account if the Qualifying Amount on Valid Services is spent every quarter. The Qualifying Amount is calculated from the Partner’s ongoing expenditure on new and existing services per Quarter on Qualifying Services. Refer to the Rebate Schedule for more information.
