Welcome to the VIP Rebates Simplified blog series. Navigating the Cisco® Value Incentive Program (VIP) can be daunting with its complexity and ever-changing requirements. I am Abbey Tewari and in my blog series I’ll provide tips and advice based on my years of experience with the nitty gritty of VIP so that you can make the most of your VIP rebates. I’m looking forward to it!
So long, VIP38
Have you wrapped up VIP38? Don’t forget to check your booking totals and make sure that all of your orders have been counted for the period.

VIP39 changes (of course)
It appears that Lifecycle Incentive rewards are taking higher priority for Cisco than VIP, but there is still plenty of opportunity for VIP rebates to benefit your bottom line—if you pay attention to the details.
Here are some of the major changes in VIP39 you should be aware of:
- 157 new Annuity subtrack SKUs have been added.
- There are over 5,000 fewer SKUs compared to VIP38.
- Starting on April 1st, after the transition period, traditional subtrack rebates have been reduced.
- Gold and Master rebates have been reduced.
