experiences with “MS incentives new experience”
Dear Microsoft, dear fellow partners, Please find below first experiences with the new "incentives experience" where the annual incentives guide was replaced with a website. This fine product can be found at: https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/ Site only shows a video, no matter which link you click. We want text, not video. I want the CSP M365 incentives info, not that video overlay again. 2. Site refers to a ‘product addendum’ but no such is found in the guide itself (it is in the MCI collection on OpsReadiness luckily - https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/en-us/microsoft-commerce-incentive-product-addendum.xlsx ) 3. The MCI collection (https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/asset/collection/microsoft-commerce-incentive-resources#/) links to various files/links. The link to the FY27 coop guide is broken ☹ (https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/fy27-co-op/how-to-use-the-co-op-guidebook) p- luckily the definitions of what cannot be found are present (at https://incentiveguide.partner.microsoft.com/en-US/additional-terms-and-definitions/glossary-cooperative-marketing-funds) 4. There are no rates mentioned in the website/download of the guide. For CSP you would need to view the MSFY27 documentation in collection mentioned earlier we eagerly await an updated & improved version of this site!experiences with “MS incentives new experience”

Hello Microsoft Community, My company’s Partner Center account currently shows a Suspended status for both the Indirect Reseller and Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider programs, even though we believe we’ve met all requirements. What we’ve done: Completed all security requirements (MFA enabled, security contact designated) Verified business and legal information is up to date Ensured there are no outstanding payments or compliance issues We received a notice about CSP indirect reseller eligibility (USD 1,000 revenue requirement), but our partner confirms our license spend exceeds this threshold. Our questions: Why is the account still suspended if we’ve addressed the stated requirements? Is there a hidden or unaddressed compliance issue? What specific steps must we follow to have the suspension lifted? Can Microsoft reinstate the account once we provide evidence of compliance? We’re unable to perform critical operations like assigning licenses or accessing partner benefits while suspended. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Any guidance from Microsoft moderators or the community would be greatly appreciated.Partner Enablement Calls for CSP Partners!
Microsoft invites you to our CSP Partner Enablement Series, where we’ve combined the CSP Community call and the CSP Technical Training call and into a single, streamlined call.

CSP account suspended without notice, no explanation given. What are my options?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in the community or perhaps someone from Microsoft can help me understand what happened and what I can do next. I've been a Microsoft partner since 2019, and last January I renewed my Partner Success Core Benefits program. A few months later, I discovered my CSP account had been suspended with no prior notification whatsoever. I opened a support ticket, and the response I received cited section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Program Agreement, essentially stating that Microsoft can terminate a partner relationship with 30 days' notice and is not required to provide a reason. I understand this is contractually possible but I received no notice, and no explanation. After re-opening the case multiple times, I was told to enroll into a new tenant with a new enrollment. I attempted this, but it did not work. When I followed up, I received copy-paste responses directing me back to the same steps. To summarize where I am right now: Partner since 2019, with renewed subscriptions as recently as January Account suspended and no advance notice received No explanation provided, citing section 4.b of the agreement New tenant enrollment suggested but unsuccessful Support has been non-responsive beyond templated replies I'm not here to argue, I accept that Microsoft has the right to make decisions about its partner ecosystem. What I'm asking for is basic transparency: did I do something wrong? If there was a compliance issue, a policy violation, or any other reason for the suspension, I would genuinely like to know so I can understand and, if possible, address it. I also have some practical questions the community may be able to help with: Is there a formal appeal or review process for suspended partner accounts? Is new enrollment genuinely possible after a termination under 4.b, and if so, what are the correct steps? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to resolve it constructively? Is there an escalation path beyond the standard support ticket process? I know I'm a small partner and this is likely a minor matter from Microsoft's perspective. But for a small business that has invested years in this program and renewed in good faith just months ago, this situation has had a real impact. A clear explanation, even a difficult one would go a long way. Any guidance, shared experiences, or pointers to the right escalation channel would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Partner Collaboration – Copilot AI Readiness Sprint (MPN ID: 7110817)
Hello Microsoft Partner Community, We’re seeing increasing demand from clients exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot — and a consistent gap in readiness across licensing, data, governance, and security. ArcSecureAI (MPN ID: 7110817) is offering a virtual Copilot AI Readiness Sprint designed to support partners working with SMBs, nonprofits, and organizations preparing for adoption. What the sprint includes: • Readiness assessment (licensing, data, governance, workflows) • Security and Zero Trust alignment review • Identification of automation opportunities (Power Automate + Copilot Studio) • Scored readiness report (0–100) • Practical 30–60–90 day adoption roadmap Partner collaboration options: • White-label delivery • Co-delivery with CSPs and MSPs • Fast turnaround (typically 48–72 hours) • Microsoft-aligned approach Goal: Help partners start the Copilot conversation with structure, deliver immediate value, and position follow-on services. If you’re currently working with clients evaluating Copilot, I’d be open to connecting and exploring collaboration opportunities. – Sreita Wheeler ArcSecureAI LLC MPN ID: 7110817Tax ID Update -- no support
Hi there. I cannot add my TAX ID in the account settings workspace. Or any other place seemingly possible according to the Partner Center AI Assistant help feature, Google articles, and so on. I have followed various instructions for updating my TAX ID but none resemble precisely what I am seeing. I have been trying to resolve this myself for weeks now. I have two support tickets in with MS, have followed them each up in the tickets, all to no avail. I am part of the MAICPP, a CSP etc., and have been for a while. As you can see, my bill information is not linked which may be why I cannot edit/add the TAX ID according to the myriad instructions I've found. BOTTOM LINE: I do not know how to obtain support assistance from MS. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
