Customer Loyalty Program FAQs

The Cisco Customer Loyalty program is an awards program for Cisco customers. The program provides incentives, in a tiered structure, based on net bookings to Cisco or Cisco registered channel partner. It is Cisco's way of saying “Thank you for your business.”

The Team Captain is responsible for:

• accepting terms and conditions of the program
• ensuring all learning credits are used timely, before expiration
• approving Cisco Learning Credits redemptions from LCMT

Please refer to How to accept terms and conditions for details.

Customer Team Captains will need to accept Ts&Cs as soon as the account is enrolled in the program, in order to be eligible to receive awards. You will receive a notification from the tool letting you know it is time to accept.  You will see the Ts&Cs acceptance screen the first time you log in to the account.  Please refer to How to accept terms and conditions for details.

The methodology is a tiered method for awards. A 3-year average of purchases are used to determine company tier. This tier is set for the Cisco fiscal year (August – July) and will be reevaluated annually each August and communicated to you before the October awards.

Team Captains will still need to login to the Loyalty Portal to approve the terms and conditions. You will be able to view the tier level assigned and the quarterly awards that have been received in the awards tab. All other transactions, such as Learning Credit redemptions and approvals, will be transacted in the Learning Credit Management Tool.

Active accounts will receive awards during the 3rd month of each Cisco fiscal quarter (October, January, April, July).

You will receive a notification from the Learning Credits Management Tool when new awards have been added to your account. The awards will show on the Learning Credits Awards tab  in the Cisco Customer Program portal and you can manage the awarded Cisco Learning Credits in the Learning Credit Management Tool.

You can check all activity and balances of Cisco Learning Credits in the Learning Credit Management Tool.
