Do benefits of different partner programs add up?

Situation

I hope my question is located correctly in this community. If not: Please inform me so!

We are a small SMB company developing cloud-based software.
We bought the Partner Success Core Benefits which grants us 2.400 $ worth of Azure bulk credits and 15 Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses per year.

Goal

Our company is working on the qualification for the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" (SMB) status.
We plan to buy the respective Solutions Partner designation which will buy us 6.000 $ worth of Azure bulk credits and 100 Microsoft 365 E3 licenses per year.

Question

Will the benefits of the Partner Success Core Benefits and the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" add up?

Example:

Partner program                        Azure bulk credits                 Microsoft 365 licenses
Partner Success Core Benefits      2.400 $ Azure bulk credits       15 (Business Premium)
Solutions Partner "Data & AI"      6.000 $ Azure bulk credits       100 (E3)
Total (?)                                       8.400 $ Azure bulk credits?  115 Microsoft 365 licenses?

 

When we qualify for the Solutions Partner "Data & AI" designation, we probably will still be eligible for the Partner Success Core Benefits. There will at least be an overlapping time period where the Partner Success Core Benefits has not yet ended but the Solutions partner designation already has started.

In this overlapping period:

  • Do those benefits then add up?
    • Can we use up ALL Azure credits?
  • Or will the benefits be restricted to the higher benefits?
    • Will we then get a refund for the Partner Success Core Benefits

Could please someone enlighten us on this issue (and perhaps provide us with a link)?

 

Best regards

JP
