FY26 CSP Incentives - Ann/Mon & Mon/Mon Subscriptions

I have a response from the team!! 

a) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with monthly commitment and monthly payment. Within September 2025, this specific subscription will give us incentives under the FY25 levers and rates (will be recalculated in February 2026 under the FY26 levers and rates). So, based on the announcement, on October 2025, this subscription will start generating incentives under the FY26 levers and rates. Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly?

Answer: Starting October 2025 this M365 subscription will start generating incentives based on the new FY26 CSP incentive partner eligibility, levers, and rates. In February 2026, July-September 2025 earnings generated for this subscription will be reversed and reissued under the new FY26 levers and rates.

b) one of our Indirect Resellers has a M365 subscription with annual commitment and monthly payment, with the renewal of the subscription to be on 15 March 2026. Based on our understanding, until the renewal, this subscription will be generating incentives based on the FY25 levers and rates due to the price protection of the subscription for the whole year, and will switch on generating incentives based on the FY26 levers and rates on the renewal date (i.e., 15 March 2026). Could you please confirm my understanding or reshape accordingly?

Answer: When the annual billing takes place on March 15, 2026, CSP incentives will generate for March 2026 and use the FY26 partner eligibility, levers, and rates. If the billing with Microsoft is monthly (vs annual), a partner would receive July-September 2025 under FY25 eligibility, levers, and rates. Starting October 2025, earnings would be under FY26 eligibility, levers, and rates. In February 2026, July-September 2025 earnings generated for this subscription will be reversed and reissued under the new FY26 levers and rates.
