Points
Intel® Cloud Insider Program – Points
- Due to the disruption COVID-19 has caused to our partners around the world, we are extending points that expired at the end of March, for a full 90 days, to allow partners to use them for rewards and vouchers that will help drive their business. During this process, points that previously expired at the end of March were reinstated during the first week of April and will permanently expire at the end of June if they remain unused. We recommend partners use their points on vouchers to help delay their costs in the short term. Visit the Points site to check your balance and redeem.
- Starting April 20th, we will have an unlimited 10% off on Distributor Vouchers until June 30th. This will allow partners to get more value for their points when they buy through our authorized distribution network. For example, a $50 USD voucher that generally costs 560 points will cost 504 points.
- We will offer new Points earning opportunities for training courses in Q2’20 and are looking at promotions for targeted products through authorized distribution. More details to come in the coming days.
