Manage Lenovo 360 tiers, incentives and the Elevate rebate in one dashboard.
Lenovo 360 is Lenovo's global channel framework. Every partner starts at the Authorized tier and climbs toward Gold, Platinum and beyond, judged across your device, infrastructure and services businesses together. The rebate money sits in a stack of incentive elements issued per tier and per quarter: part of the stack is flat and earns from the first eligible dollar, and a narrower set scales with quarterly target attainment. Alongside it sits Lenovo 360 Elevate, a separate reward program Lenovo's documents mark as Authorized-tier only, with enrolment required. Rebates-On tracks all of it from your side, so you see what you're owed, what to do to earn more, and where Lenovo rebate dollars are slipping away.

What is the Lenovo 360 partner program (and Lenovo Elevate)?
Lenovo 360 is Lenovo's global channel framework, the single model Lenovo now uses to enable, tier and reward its partners. Every partner begins at Authorized and progresses to Gold, Platinum and beyond by combining revenue growth with accreditations across Lenovo's portfolio. The rewards side carries more than one name, and the names matter: the rebate stack partners earn on is Lenovo 360 Incentives, while Lenovo 360 Elevate is a separate reward program for the Authorized tier.
The framework spans Lenovo's three business groups: the Intelligent Devices Group (IDG: PCs and devices), the Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG: servers, storage and TruScale), and the Solutions & Services Group (SSG: services and as-a-service). One tier progression runs across all three, so your standing reflects the whole portfolio, not a single business. Lenovo has been tilting the model toward services, and services revenue carries its own weight in the tier thresholds.
The naming is worth getting straight, because three different things carry the Lenovo 360 badge. Lenovo 360 Incentives is the rebate stack itself: elements issued per tier and per quarter, where some are flat and earn from the first eligible dollar and a narrower set scales with quarterly target attainment. Lenovo 360 Elevate is a separate reward program that Lenovo's documents mark as available to Authorized partners only, with enrolment required. And LEAP, the Lenovo Expert Achievers Program, rewards your individual sellers rather than the company. Lenovo states that requirements and terms vary by region, and it runs current targets and rates through the Lenovo 360 Partner Hub, so confirm your own numbers there rather than against any general figure.
How Lenovo 360 works now, and what moves your rebate dollars.
Lenovo has reworked Lenovo 360 to simplify the partner experience. Three shifts matter for your rebate dollars: the tiers were streamlined into a clearer Authorized to Gold to Platinum progression; incentives lean on overall partner performance across the portfolio; and services and as-a-service revenue now carry real weight in both standing and rewards.
- Every partner starts at Authorized. Authorized is the entry level for every registered Lenovo partner, and it is the tier where the Lenovo 360 Elevate reward program lives. Lenovo's documents mark Elevate as enrolment-required, so being at the right tier is not the same as earning from it: someone has to switch it on.
- One tier spans the whole portfolio. Your standing is judged across devices (IDG), infrastructure (ISG) and services (SSG) together, not on one business group alone. A partner strong in only one group can find the combined bar higher than a single-group number suggests.
- Accreditations gate the climb. Progression combines revenue growth with capability: Lenovo ties higher tiers to accreditations and skills, not revenue alone. The specific accreditations required at each level are set by Lenovo and vary by region, so the number you hold is a direct lever on which tiers are open to you.
- The incentive terms reset every quarter. Lenovo issues the incentive structure per tier and per quarter, and both targets and rates can move between quarters. The current quarter's terms in the Partner Hub are the only bar that counts, and last quarter's document is history, not guidance.
- The model is tilting toward services. Services count toward your standing alongside devices and infrastructure, and as-a-service revenue sits inside the incentive structure in its own right. A partner who ignores the services line is misreading both their tier math and their rebate math.
- Visibility moved into the Partner Hub. Lenovo now runs performance, accreditations and progression through the Lenovo 360 Partner Hub. That is the system of record for your numbers, and it is where you confirm current targets and terms rather than relying on last quarter's document.
Lenovo's documents mark the Elevate reward program as enrolment-required at the Authorized tier. An incentive you are eligible for and never enrolled in pays exactly nothing, and nothing about it looks like a missed deadline. It is the leak that never shows up as one.
Where Lenovo partners leave rebate money on the table.
Lenovo partners, whether VARs, systems integrators or resellers, lose rebate dollars in a few predictable places: a sell-through number they can't reconstruct, targets and terms that reset every quarter, an incentive they're eligible for but never enrolled in, standing that's judged across three businesses at once, and tier moves that quietly change what they earn. Each is where a quote looks profitable but the rebate never fully lands, and each is something software can watch that a spreadsheet cannot.
A sell-through number you can't reconstruct
Targets and terms that reset every quarter
An incentive you're eligible for but never enrolled in
Standing judged across three businesses at once
Tier moves that change what you earn
Multi-distributor blind spots
Split shipments that pay out short
The whole Lenovo 360 incentive logic, maintained for you.
Rebates-On carries the Lenovo 360 incentive logic so you never rebuild a sell-through figure by hand. One dashboard shows your attainment against the current quarterly targets, element by element, the dates that move money, your tier standing across devices, infrastructure and services, your accreditations, and a simulator for what one more booking is worth toward a threshold.
- See your Lenovo 360 incentives position: attainment against the current Lenovo-set quarterly targets, element by element, rebuilt from the sell-through data, with sales aggregated across every distributor so the number is whole.
- Know which elements behave which way: the flat elements that earn from the first eligible dollar, and the scaling elements that move with quarterly target attainment, so purchase timing goes where it actually pays.
- Watch your tier standing across the Authorized to Gold to Platinum progression, with the revenue and accreditation requirements that gate each level in one place.
- Track every certification and accreditation that feeds your tier, with each employee's credentials and renewals flagged before they lapse.
- Track funding and marketing programs and the deadlines attached to them, so a plan or claim never expires unspent.
- Catch the dates that move money: quarter-end targets, enrolment windows, and payment and reconciliation dates, with alerts while you can still act.
- Model the next move with the order simulator: what one more booking is worth toward a quarterly target or a tier line.
Your standing is earned across the whole portfolio, not one business group.
Lenovo simplified its tiers into a clearer path. Every partner starts at Authorized, the entry tier and the one where the Elevate rebate lives, then progresses to Gold, Platinum and the recognition tiers beyond by combining revenue growth with accreditations across devices, infrastructure and services. Lenovo sets the specific thresholds and required accreditations per region, and runs your current standing through the Partner Hub.
-
Lenovo maintains recognition tiers above Platinum for its highest-performing partners. The exact names, thresholds and requirements are set by Lenovo and confirmed in the Partner Hub.
-
Higher revenue and deeper accreditation, with richer incentives and wider access to Lenovo resources and funding.
-
Earned by growing revenue and adding accreditations across the portfolio. Unlocks enhanced financial incentives and co-selling as you climb out of the entry tier.
-
The entry tier for every registered Lenovo partner, and the home of the Lenovo 360 Elevate reward program: Lenovo's documents mark it as available to Authorized partners only, with enrolment required.
The exact thresholds and the accreditations each tier requires are set by Lenovo, vary by region, and change as the program evolves, which is why we point you to the Partner Hub for your own current numbers rather than printing a figure that may not be yours. What holds across the framework is the shape: revenue growth and accreditations together, judged across the whole portfolio.
Competency matters as much as revenue: Lenovo ties higher tiers to accreditations, so the number your team holds decides which tiers are open to you at all. Because your tier, and therefore your incentive economics, leans on keeping those accreditations current, certification management is one of the most direct ways to protect your standing, and exactly what the Rebates-On certifications module is built to watch.
How Rebates-On helps you avoid missed Lenovo rebates.
Rebates-On turns the things that leak Lenovo rebate dollars into things you can see and act on. It rebuilds your incentive attainment across every distributor, tracks the dates that move money, watches the accreditations that gate your tier, and tells you whether a tier move is worth what it changes.
- No more un-auditable rebate. Attainment aggregated across all distributors and tracked against your current quarterly targets, so you can see a shortfall while there's still time to close it.
- No more stale terms. Current targets and terms tracked each quarter, not last quarter's, so you plan against the bar Lenovo is actually measuring you on.
- No more certification surprises. Expiring accreditations flagged before they drop you below what your tier requires.
- A Lenovo number finance can rely on. Forecast Lenovo rebate income, reconcile what Lenovo actually paid against what you earned, and model a tier move before you make it instead of guessing whether it helps or hurts.
