Support Rewards for Cloud
With Oracle Support Rewards, the more you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the more you save. Customers can accrue $0.25 to $0.33 in rewards for every $1 spent on OCI. Those rewards can be used to pay down your tech software license support bill, even down to zero.1
Accrue rewards every month
Simply sign or renew a Universal Credit order to accrue rewards that you can track in the OCI Console. The program entitles customers to earn and use Support Rewards for the length of their services period. Support Rewards is a contractual obligation that Oracle guarantees for the length of the Universal Credit contract, which may be extended by the customer at any time.
You may apply rewards to eligible invoices under other entities within your company hierarchy.

Ways to get the most out of Oracle Support Rewards
-
Migrate a few new workloads
Let’s say you start with a $1M annual Oracle technology support bill and spend $2M on OCI for two new workloads. In this scenario, you’ll earn $500K in Oracle Support Rewards, reducing your annual bill by half.
-
Migrate more workloads
What if you identify four new workloads to run on OCI? No problem. With a $1M Oracle technology support bill, plus $2M in additional OCI spending (for $4M total), you’ll earn a total of $1M in Oracle Support Rewards, cutting your bill to $0.

How are rewards accrued?
As OCI services are consumed, customers accrue Support Rewards to apply as a form of payment to any eligible open invoice for on-premises support of Oracle technology programs.

Is there a limit to the amount a customer can accrue?
No. There’s no limit to the amount of Oracle Support Rewards a customer can accrue.
