VIP 46: Entering the Final Chapter – What you Need to Know

As Cisco Partners, you’ve navigated the Value Incentive Program (VIP) for 23 years. Now, with VIP 46, you’re entering the final chapter of that journey. This is more than just another incentive cycle—it’s the last opportunity to earn under the familiar VIP rules before the Cisco 360 Partner Program and the new Cisco Partner Incentive (CPI) take the lead in February 2026.

New Payouts – Uplifted Rebates

VIP 46 delivers increased earning opportunities on networking deals with Unified Licensing, AI-ready infrastructure, optics, and PTZ 4K cameras. It also maintains elevated rebates on Security Suites that keep everything connected and protected. Additionally, VIP continues to promote the circular economy with rebates on an expanded list of Cisco Refresh products, including select legacy refurbished SKUs.

Key Dates & Payouts

While the structure remains identical to VIP 45, the timelines shift—and that impacts your cash flow.
